The Patrick Madrid Show: September 10, 2026 - Hour 1

Patrick begins the episode with a thoughtful listener email about the challenges and frustrations of using AI platforms as a mental health practitioner, sparking a lively back-and-forth with Cyrus about technology, language choices, and the potential for both bias and trickery in artificial intelligence. The conversation widens to the reliability of online content, the dangers of deepfakes, and concerns about truthfulness in an era of rapidly advancing digital tools, all while listeners chime in with their own questions about Church history, faith, and how to respond to those who question Catholic teachings. Throughout, Patrick weaves in moments of humor, personal stories, and historical insights, creating an engaging and thought-provoking journey for listeners seeking clarity and encouragement.   Email – Why can a paid AI note-taking tool refuse a therapist’s request to use “husband,” “wife,” “he,” and “she” in her own couple notes, and who decides what language and information AI systems will or won’t allow? (01:19) John - Was St. Peter's Square used as an execution site during the days of the Roman Empire? (23:16) Elijah - What do you think about the downside of AI? Can't AI have a downside? (27:08) Andy - My question is about Jeremiah. Pagans are worshipping the 'Queen of Heaven'. Some accuse Catholics of worshipping Mary because of this in the Bible? How can I respond? (41:08) Richard - Do you agree that just voting for the sake of money is immoral? I think the War in Iran is a good example. (45:17)
