The Patrick Madrid Show: June 04, 2025 - Hour 1

Patrick fields questions about Marian teachings, breaks down what the Church means by the sixth commandment, and addresses concerns from listeners wondering how doctrine shapes daily Catholic life. Confession, purity, smartphones, the avalanche of national debt—he juggles it all, sometimes pausing to encourage, other times dropping startling perspectives or a wry observation.
