The Patrick Madrid Show: July 08, 2026 - Hour 1

Patrick explores the unrest within the Catholic Church, examining the SSPX controversy, scandals old and new, and questions about Church authority and leadership. Faithful listeners hear Patrick emphasize personal perseverance, prayer, and trust in Christ amid turbulence, all while practical concerns like withholding parish donations or handling troubling leadership ripple through the conversation. Holding nothing back, Patrick challenges both complacency and reactionary exits, insisting that the answer lies not in escape but in staying true to the Church’s foundation.
