The Patrick Madrid Show: September 01, 2026 - Hour 3

Patrick examines everything from the use of kneelers at Mass and the history of the Latin rite to misunderstandings about the Traditional Latin Mass and ongoing arguments over tradition and change. He fields heartfelt questions on Eucharistic validity, responds to calls about family suffering, defunct churches turned into mosques, and tensions stirred by new Catholic movements. At every turn, Patrick grounds each response in Church teaching, brings historical clarity, and offers hope to listeners wrestling with confusion or grief.   Richard (email) – Can’t we kneel without kneelers?
