The Patrick Madrid Show: September 17, 2025 - Hour 1

Patrick tackles everything from spouses nodding off at Mass to pressing questions about mixed-faith relationships and finding trustworthy news for Catholic classrooms, all with real listener calls and a dash of humor. He doesn’t shy away from controversy either, one caller presses him on whether celebrating violence online should mean losing your job, prompting Patrick to challenge listeners on character, consequences, and genuine Christian witness. What emerges is a fast-moving blend of everyday Catholic struggles and tough conversations, always anchored in faith and real-life experience.   Rosy (email) – How can I help my husband from falling asleep at Mass? (00:55) Crella (email) – How do I talk to someone who refuses to renounce Methodism, and even tries to convince me that the Holy Eucharist is not the real blood and body of Jesus Christ, but just a symbol? (06:44) Katie - Do you have any alternatives to CNN10 that can be played in Catholic schools. The teacher plays it in one of my kid's classes. (14:14) Mary Anne (email) – People should not be fired for celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk. (22:17) Emma - My sister told me she is going to a Protestant service with her friends. Do you have any advice on what I can say to warn her about this? (31:18) Bridget (email) - Patrick, if you needed surgery and the best surgeon is happy about ANYBODY'S death and so is the second-best surgeon and so is the third best......would you take the fourth best? I don't think I would. (37:11) Richard (email) - How might a faithful Catholic respond to this 'religious hero' worship? (40:11) Calvin - Falling asleep during the homily. Sitting more towards the edge of the bench instead of leaning back on the pew has helped me.
