The Patrick Madrid Show: April 13, 2026 - Hour 1

Patrick dissects the public clash between Donald Trump and Pope Leo after Trump fires off insults and the Pope responds. The conversation pulses with listener reactions, raw opinions on faith, politics, and loyalty, and flashes of culture war imagery as Trump’s Christ-like meme ignites further outrage. Patrick, grounding himself first in Catholic allegiance, questions where listeners land when sacred and civic devotion collide. Who’s your Pope?

• Patrick Madrid - “I’m a Catholic first” (12:00)
• Steve - What Trump is doing is dealing with the Axis of Evil. Just look at what is happening in Iran. They are out to destroy. (16:59)
• Maria - I follow Jesus and Pope Leo. Also, I am a proud American, but we have to put Jesus first.
• Jamie - I think that the Pope should not speak politically and the President shouldn't speak religiously. (23:41)
