The Patrick Madrid Show: February 20, 2026 – Hour 2

On today’s hour 2 of the Patrick Madrid show, Andrew calls in to defend the priest who heard a previous caller’s confession. Hear what Patrick has to say in response and also a caller Patrick, tells us about his confession experience after being away from the Church for 30 years.

  • (0:33) Andrew – I want to defend the priest who told her to make an appointment.
  • (8:25) Sam – Why do you say the same prayer over and over again in the Catholic Church?
  • Break 1
  • (18:48) Jamie – I’m’ asking God to bring to me sins that I’ve forgotten, and he’s brought them to me. If I don’t bring them to confession is that a sin?
  • (25:17) Meleena – Epstein Files: I don’t think you should be talking about them because there are other outlets that ARE talking about it. AND I was a non-Catholic for a long time and when the priests ask you to make an appointment for later, they aren’t being rude or blowing you off.
  • Break 2
  • (33:02) Roy – About confession: There has to be a standard and it’s the #1 religion. You have to do confession and be right. We have ‘recovering Catholics’ in my non-denominational chruch, and I’ve told them to not diminish the Catholics, as millions of people love the Church and they’ve kept the Church strong.
  • (38:20) Patrick – I went to confession for first time in 30 years and the priest asked me if I broke each commandment, one by one. I said yes to all. Then he asked if I helped someone get an abortion. I said no. Then he forgave me and gave me two “Hail Mary’s” and said “welcome back.”
