The Patrick Madrid Show: March 05, 2026 - Hour 1

Patrick fields tough, personal questions about Catholic morality, including whether participation in military special forces can align with conscience, especially when lethal orders are at play. He also addresses concerns about valid sacraments, attending non-Catholic religious ceremonies, and the meaning of redemptive suffering, bringing stories from his own life and practical Church teachings into each call.
