The Patrick Madrid Show: May 07, 2026 – Hour 2

Patrick opens the hour with a reflection on the mystery of the Holy Trinity, then answers listener calls about salvation, confession, politicians and Communion, praying for souls, and why only Catholics can receive the Eucharist. He offers clear advice, personal experiences, and practical apologetics resources from his own ongoing article collection, weaving in insights on everything from the Divine Mercy Chaplet to the fate of Lazarus after resurrection. Unexpected questions spark honest, sometimes emotional exchanges; Patrick never shies from Catholic teaching or tough conversations.
