The Patrick Madrid Show: June 11, 2026 - Hour 1

Patrick begins with the Senate hearing clash over white supremacy accusations leveled at pro-life advocates, spotlighting abortion’s disproportionate impact on the Black community and the struggle to answer hard public questions. He shifts quickly, offering advice to help listeners keep their friendships strong when politics or beliefs threaten to tear them apart, and moves on to explore music in the church, the meaning behind “make a joyful noise unto the Lord,” the proper context for blessings at Mass, and the confusion irregular couples face about communion. Catholic tradition, contemporary controversies, and questions about faith’s place in a world shaped by media events—even Spielberg’s forthcoming film on aliens—surface and swirl, with Patrick weaving scripture, pastoral insight, and frank observations into every answer.   Audio: Do you believe that pro-lifers are white supremacist - Rep.

Rick - Would’ve been nice to have you at the prison last night when one of our guys asked if it was okay for him to make a burnt offering of a trophy animal he harvested while hunting as a thank you and honor to God. He believes the Old Testament teaches that God appreciates this kind of offering. He made it clear this burnt offering was not intended as a sacrifice since he recognized Jesus is the one true sacrifice. Is his burnt offering okay?
