The Patrick Madrid Show: April 28, 2026 - Hour 2

Patrick answers bold questions from callers, draws out wisdom on why the Church is called the Bride of Christ, reflects on the mystery of the Tree of Knowledge, and unpacks the rationale for infant baptism. Along the way, he weaves real-life stories about weddings and their expenses, even noting how modest celebrations often last longer in memory and in marriage. Ever the entertainer, Patrick reads complaint emails about tacos and transforms them into music, blending humor with genuine conversation.
