The Patrick Madrid Show: December 04, 2025 - Hour 3

Patrick brings Catholic teachings to the forefront as he fields callers wrestling with everything from ethical questions about secular divorce for financial reasons to nuanced debates on the filioque and church unity. He grounds every conversation in real-world examples and personal stories, weaving practical wisdom into complex theological topics, touching on marriage across denominations, health care dilemmas, and questions about support for Israel. The honesty, humor, and directness keep listeners on their toes, while deep reverence for truth and faith sits at the center of the hour.
