The Patrick Madrid Show: March 17, 2026 - Hour 2

Patrick explores questions about Mary’s genealogy, explains the legend of St. Patrick driving out snakes, and tackles moral concerns on contraception like Plan B with compassion and clarity. Unexpected topics emerge, from the contents of the Ethiopian Bible to the logic behind Christian opposition to reincarnation, all folding into calls about the spiritual climate and recent events. The discussion blends history, theology, and real-life challenges, keeping things lively, personal, and grounded in faith.   Maria - Is there a genealogy for Mary in the Bible?

(26:43) Email - I noticed after a few times of attending Daily Mass that the priest does not say, “Body of Christ” when distributing Holy Communion.
