Jennifer - How do I defend Catholic colleges supporting abortion to my non-Catholic family members? (06:11)
Stanley - Will Pope Benedict 16 be declared a Doctor of the Church. Does a Doctor of the Church need to be declared a saint first? (19:45)
Irene - When was St. Joseph selected by God to be the foster father of Jesus? (22:50)
AJ (email) - How can I teach my children about spiritual warfare in a way they can understand?

The Patrick Madrid Show: March 19, 2026 - Hour 1

Audio: Simon Sinek explains phone addiction an

Brady - Why is St. Hildegard swept under the r

Richard - Is there a correlation between Class

Audio: George Harrison and John Lennon talk ab

George - I think you are hanging up a bit on t

Elva - Could it be possible that Elizabeth tol

Stuart - Was St. John spared a violent death b

Colleen - How do I handle a family situation i

Trish - I am a big Beatles fan and heard Georg

Jim - I think scores from movies are the close

Patrick opens with thoughts on how smartphones at the table subtly alter relationships, then fields calls about forgotten saints like Hildegard of Bingen, the oddities of canonization, and whether attending a bridal shower at a cohabiting couple’s place sends the wrong message. Questions zigzag across everything from the possibility of George Harrison’s late return to faith, the connection between classic movie scores and traditional masterpieces, to the enigma of why people say "River Jordan" instead of "Jordan River." Humor, moral wrestling, and unpredictable detours abound as Patrick guides listeners through faith, music, and modern life’s small provocations.

Brady - Why is St. Hildegard swept under the rug or forgotten? (04:12)
Richard - Is there a correlation between Classical Music and the Doctors of the Church? Could you say that the Beatles would be considered as Beethoven or Bach was? (08:24)
Audio: George Harrison and John Lennon talk about having money -  https://youtube.com/shorts/5rM41yhWkgw (17:00)
George - I think you are hanging up a bit on the term Classical music. It is the staying power that makes it classical. (20:50)
Elva - Could it be possible that Elizabeth told John about Jesus in the womb? (23:35)
Stuart - Was St. John spared a violent death because he took Mary in? What could the reason be? Why was he spared? (26:26)
Colleen - How do I handle a family situation involving cohabitation? My cousin and fiancée are living together. Can I attend the wedding? (33:28)
Trish - I am a big Beatles fan and heard George converted back to Christianity when he had cancer. (35:20)
Geri - St. Hildegard has some wonderful liturgical music.
Jim - I think scores from movies are the closest we can get to modern classical music. Is the Iran War a moral or just war? (39:52)
