The Patrick Madrid Show: May 23, 2025 - Hour 1

Patrick opens with a look at Elon Musk’s latest announcement about humanoid robots soon becoming part of everyday life, sparking questions about how technology will change homes and relationships. Patrick shares his personal experience with traditional family roles, reflecting on raising children in a single-income household, and responds to listeners who are considering work and family balance in light of Catholic teaching. Conversations also touch on the meaning of certain Catholic traditions at Mass, common arguments about the Resurrection, and what is gained—or lost—when machines replace human interaction. Patrick offers practical wisdom and encouragement for facing the changes and challenges of modern life.

• Elon Musk says humanoid robots being mass-produced right now (00:52)
• Jack - I want to talk about Catholic Feminism. I think women in the work force is not good for our culture. What do you think about that idea? (06:49)
• Cindy - What is the proper thing to do during consecration? Should you look at Jesus or bow your head? (20:01)
• Bob - I have an idea on why the stolen corpse theory in the resurrection doesn't work and I was wondering what you thought. (23:23)
• Alexandra - Women working outside of the home: It doesn't seem like it is a Church teaching. There are women saints who worked outside the home. (32:57)
• Claudia - Regarding Robots: It seems practical to have robots. The other thing that I think is important is that we lose human contact with having robots and then we lose the opportunity to communicate and grow in virtue. (42:05)
