The Patrick Madrid Show: October 21, 2026 – Hour 3

Patrick addresses listener reactions to the Archbishop of Denver’s decision to ask Father Ripperger to step back from public speaking, urging listeners to focus on humility and obedience within the Church rather than fueling outrage. Through thoughtful commentary and calls like Nicole’s, Patrick explores the wisdom of spiritual redirection, the dangers of celebrity culture among priests, and the need for Catholics to trust in Church leadership even amid disappointment.
