With engaging discussions and insightful exchanges, this hour encourages a deeper look into faith practices and the historical roots of Christianity. New Find At Jesus’ Burial Site Backs Biblical Account Of Resurrection (00:35) David (email) – Are there exceptions that allow someone in grave sin to take Communion before going to Confession? (09:34) Tom (email) - I ordered the new Ignatius Study Bible. It’s not only a weapon against evil but can be used in self-defense. It is very heavy. (23:11) Jim - Is there a Catholic response to a Protestant saying that Catholics are not born again. (30:33) Anne - When I pray, do I need to pray for them by name specifically or can I just pray for them in general? (39:16) Donna - At the beginning of Mass, does the Penitential Rite absolve our sins? (46:44)…
John from Illinois called in with a big question : Because Pope Francis has passed away, who’s running things at the Vatican in the meantime? Who's in Charge When There's No Pope? When a pope dies, things don’t go totally dark... but they do hit the brakes, hard . -The machinery of the Apostolic See basically grinds to a halt . (Think of it like putting the Vatican on “pause mode.”) -Enter the Camerlengo (Italian for Chamberlain ), currently Cardinal Kevin Farrell , appointed by Pope Francis (RIP). His job is to oversee essential matters, like the transfer of the Pope’s body. What Keeps Going vs. What Freezes? Still running: -Basic operations in Vatican City (lights on, plumbing working, etc...) -Routine roles that don’t require papal authority. Frozen solid: -Naming new bishops or cardinals -Lifting papal-reserved excommunications -Big decisions like future World Youth Day locations -Canonizations -Anything else that needs a pope’s personal say-so. Basically, if it involves a signature that only the Holy Father can scribble, it’s not happening right now. So, How Does the Next Pope Get Picked? Patrick reminds us that no pope can hand-pick his successor (even if he whispers it to someone behind closed doors). The next Holy Father is chosen by the College of Cardinals , who gather in a conclave and pray for the Holy Spirit’s guidance. Patrick took us on a nostalgic trip through the papal timeline: -Most younger folks only really know Pope Francis. -A bit older? You remember Pope Benedict. -Older still? Pope St. John Paul II, elected in '78. -Some even remember the super-short 33-day reign of Pope John Paul I. As Patrick put it: memory fades, but the Church marches on. It’s been 2000 years, 266 popes, and counting... each one a successor of St. Peter . What Happens Next? We wait. The cardinals will convene, the white smoke will rise, and we’ll get a new Holy Father. Until then, the Church is calm, reverent, and steady . May we all trust in the Holy Spirit's guidance and maybe brush up on our pope trivia while we’re at it.…
This little gem from The Patrick Madrid Show is like a masterclass in how to keep it real, keep it Catholic, and keep it charitable when people start thinking the Papacy is just another political office. Keaton's Big Question Keaton from Green Bay, WI called in because he was struggling with how to respond to some friends. They were talking about the next pope almost like they were picking a president... hoping for someone who'd push certain social or political agendas. Keaton didn’t want to come off as rude, but he also didn’t want to stay silent and let some serious misunderstandings about the Church go unchecked. Patrick’s Wise, Humble Advice Patrick Madrid gave this simple but brilliant response: “I don’t really care what kind of Pope you want. I care about what kind of Pope God wants.” He explained that the Pope isn’t supposed to be a political figure like a president. The Pope is meant to be someone who protects and advances the Gospel, not someone who shifts the Church to fit whatever political ideology is trendy. Our job is to pray for whoever is chosen, just like Patrick has prayed for every pope since his childhood. Bonus Tip: Tactics for Tough Talks Since Keaton wanted to get better at these convos without sounding preachy or clumsy, Patrick recommended the book Tactics by Greg Koukl . This book teaches you how to steer conversations using questions: a classic move called the Socratic Method . It's gentle but effective . It helps you stay respectful, avoid arguments, and make people think without feeling attacked. Exactly what Keaton was looking for! Key Takeaway for Us When people want the Church to “get political,” don't fight fire with fire . Stay cool, stay prayerful, and remember: We want God’s will, not the world's. And maybe toss a few smart questions their way too.…
Encore from 4/16/25 Hour 2 Patrick engages in thought-provoking discussions on the divinity of Jesus while fielding questions from listeners around the world. From understanding what defines a woman to grappling with the moral implications of actions taken in military service, each call brings deeper insights. Todd - Divinity of Jesus: Is there any biblical basis for Jesus being God? It seems like Jesus goes out of His way to say He is not God but the son of God. (01:46) Peter - Could you clarify about killing in the military. I have killed in the line of duty and I believe that killing is the biggest sin that I have committed. (07:03) Mike - My son is returning to the Catholic Faith after being in evangelicalism. He is looking for small groups and community in the Catholic Church. How can I help? (17:49) Rhonda - The Trinity: in dressing rooms they have three mirrors so you can see three different angles. Is that a good analogy for the Trinity? (23:32) Isaac (6-years-old) - How is the communion bread made before it is blessed? (30:25) UK Supreme Court just ruled that law defines women as people born biologically female. (35:41) Australia's most populous state New South Wales just made it illegal to pray with someone about their sexuality. (42:08)…

For anyone looking for insight into current events in the Catholic Church and practical faith topics, this session offers clear answers and encouragement. The conclave to elect a new Pope will begin on May 7 (00:42) Sophia - I went to a Communion Service. Did that fulfil my Sunday obligation? Is it okay for the Deacon to sit in the priest’s chair during the service? (02:57) Kim - My daughter and her husband had their marriage convalidated in the Catholic Church, but they still have some occult practices going on. What can I do? (07:11) Kathy - Divine Mercy Sunday and Plenary Indulgences: Where is the Justice in this? Some people have all their punishment erased and others have to be in Purgatory. (14:35) Natalie (email) - Catholic Capirote hats look strikingly similar to the KKK hoods and many of the comments are saying that this tradition is satanic (20:31) Sofija (email) – I want to convert but I feel my family will look at is as a betrayal (27:36) Mark Zuckerberg pulling the plug on The Primary School—their high-profile, tuition-free school for low-income kids (39:13) Rick - During Divine Mercy Sunday, during Adoration, the priest wouldn't expose the picture of the Divine Mercy until after the Holy Hour. (41:49) Barbara - Thank you for things that you said last week about the Ice House (46:04)…
Patrick answers challenging questions about faith, shares tips for talking to young adults about belief in God, and recommends useful books on Catholic apologetics. He also explores the curious practice of proxy baptisms in the Mormon church, especially regarding well-known Catholic figures like popes. Patrick addresses listener questions about confession, cremation, and ways to support friends interested in joining the Catholic Church. For insightful advice and real-life wisdom on living your faith, Patrick delivers content you won’t want to miss. Ellie (email) - I need to be first proven that the Christian God exists to believe in Heaven and then be comforted, but I’m unsure about his existence and therefore I’m unsure about any afterlife. (00:51) Craig - What do you do if your friend is dating someone who says that Jesus failed because he didn't get married? (13:22) Lee - How can I help someone else convert? (15:18) Audio: Will Mormons baptize the Pope after his death? (18:21) Was Jesus really nailed to the Cross?

(39:14) Ellen (email) – Can cremation ashes be held in reserve? (41:57) Joan (email) – Patrick said you can’t commit a mortal son unless you know it’s a mortal sin when you commit it, which I assume goes for venial sin as well. Why then, at their first confession, do RCIA candidates confess their sins from the past if they weren’t aware that they were sins until going through RCIA? (47:12)…

Norbert from Wisconsin Rapids wanted the breakdown: What's the difference between a Cardinal Bishop , Cardinal Priest , and Cardinal Deacon ? Patrick’s Explanation: 1. Cardinal Bishops: - These are the most senior cardinals. -They hold titular jurisdiction over ancient dioceses called the "suburbicarian sees" around Rome: places like Ostia and Porto . -They're not the real working bishops of those dioceses, more like honorary guardians. -Seniority here isn’t just about age; it’s about how long you’ve been a cardinal . 2. Cardinal Priests: Rome’s Titular Pastors -These cardinals are linked to one of Rome’s ancient churches . -It’s honorary, but each one is assigned a "titular church" to symbolize their bond with the diocese of Rome. 3. Cardinal Deacons: -Historically, these guys were the ones running the Church’s day-to-day in Rome. -After 10 years , a Cardinal Deacon can be "promoted" to Cardinal Priest. So… Are These Ranks Like Holy Orders? Nope! These don’t mean “holier” or “more sacramentally powerful.” This ranking is about honor and duty , not sacramental hierarchy. Bonus Wisdom: -The word "cardinal" comes from Latin cardo , meaning hinge . These are the “hinge men”: the inner circle who support the Pope and, when the time comes, elect the next one . As the Church preps for the conclave, Patrick reminds us: Stay close to Relevant Radio for all the upcoming news of the Conclave. Pray with us every evening at 7:00 PM CT for the Family Rosary Across America for the needs of the Church and for our leaders. You can hear the funeral coverage for Pope Francis Saturday morning at 2:50 AM CT and rebroadcasted at 12:00 PM CT later in the day on Relevant Radio.…
The Caller: Monica from Waco Monica called in (shoutout to Catholic moms and dads fielding tough questions from their kids! ) with a super-specific query from her 12-year-old: "Is the papal conclave truly blind the whole way through?" Or does someone peek at the votes after each round? Patrick's Explanation: -Each Cardinal, seated at a tiny desk in the Sistine Chapel), writes a name on a ballot. -Votes are collected and counted carefully : Another cardinal collects the ballots. -There are multiple eyes on the ballots the whole time to avoid any funny business (no ballot sneaking or swapping allowed). -Votes are read out loud : In front of everyone! If someone tries to misread or fudge a name, the cardinals can totally call it out. Needle and Thread Moment! -Yes, seriously. After the counting, they literally stitch all the ballots together with thread, sealing them up to prevent tampering. The Black Smoke : -If no one hits that two-thirds supermajority , the ballots get torched and black smoke rises from the Sistine Chapel chimney (cue every Catholic running to the news livestream). -While the actual voting stays secret, during breaks the cardinals might chat about who’s pulling ahead. (“Hey, did you see how many votes Cardinal So-and-So got?) Patrick’s Big Picture: The conclave is as secret and protected as possible , but it’s not anonymous forever in the sense that progress is visible and talk happens. It’s a beautiful balance between holy discernment and human process with lots of safeguards against shenanigans , but also human conversation happening naturally.…
Patrick explores how AI transforms the business world and addresses tough questions about the future of work. He discusses how automation quickly changes industries, replaces repetitive tasks, and even takes on creative roles once thought to need human talent. Patrick also points out the new opportunities opening up for those who adapt, especially in AI development and skilled trades. The main lesson Patrick shares is to embrace change, invest in learning, and position yourself to thrive as technology grows. Those who innovate and stay ahead will be ready for tomorrow’s economy. Barry - Can I rent to a couple who is not married? (01:14) Mary – Will AI replace jobs in 20 years? (10:56) Carmen - I am a TV producer and we have found out which Journalists are using AI. Journalist are using AI to write scripts. (31:38) Philip - I am a writer and in school I did a capstone on AI. I think that art is for humans made by humans and AI can't hallucinate. We don't even know what the mind is. (43:44)…
Patrick explains the symbols in St. Peter’s Basilica, breaks down the facts behind conspiracy theories, and explains the meanings behind key Catholic traditions. He addresses how technology, like AI, shapes daily life and talks about the role of genealogy in faith. Patrick shares insights on blessings, indulgences, and gives practical advice for keeping your home and family spiritually secure. Why was there upside-down crosses seen at St. Peter’s Basilica?

(20:24) Jessica - My children are in sports and we won't be able to do the Rosary every day with Father Rocky at 7pm. Would the 15min rosary on the app count, if we can't do it live? What happens if we miss a day? (30:45) What happens if you buy or are given a cursed object? (35:24) Juanita - When the pope gives you a blessing on TV do you get an indulgence for it? Are there any indulgences tied to watching the funeral? (41:45) Pete - I work in AI as a programmer. AI is taking over the marketplace. It seems like there are concerns about AI further pushing us away from God. (47:29)…
