The Patrick Madrid Show: July 29, 2026 – Hour 3

Patrick explores everything from the Catholic Church’s current stance on communion and cremation to heated reflections on pandemic leadership and the struggle to forgive in the aftermath. Listeners react to recent congressional drama, share personal frustrations, and even bring levity with talk of music, tacos, and intergenerational taste wars. Questions linger about truth, loss, and what it means to keep faith when neither culture nor authority offers easy answers.

  • Jason – Can Catholics receive the Eucharist at an Orthodox Mass? (01:03)
  • Robert – I appreciate you shining the spotlight on the pandemic and Fauci’s lies. I listened to you as an alternate source of info. (09:45)
  • Al (email) – Thank you for playing the Fauci montage
  • Joe – We have a talented music director at our church. They’re in an open homosexual relationship. They receive communion each week. If I’m in mortal sin, I don’t receive communion, but this person is doing it every weekend. What’s your opinion in this situation? (17:59)
  • Jane – Does the church participate or advise the use of shunning various church members? Also, when and where did the church decide cremation was ok? (21:56)
  • Pete – Heresy, to choose (definition); People who choose what they want to believe aren’t going to be in communion with the church. (24:41)
  • Thomas – Why did it take 1600 years to put the bible together with 40-some-odd authors. Why did it take so long to put it together if it was dictated by God? (27:37)
  • Karen – My 16-year-old will not look at the new album or discuss it. Says it’s all AI.
  • Mary – On cremation and burial: A good argument against it would be what would happen if we cremated the now incorruptible Saints? (41:04)
  • Mike – Comment about Covid situation and Dr. Fauci and the difference about the approach different states had: Florida vs Illinois or New York vs California. Common sense approach to the virus itself. (42:15)
