The Patrick Madrid Show: September 08, 2025 - Hour 2

Patrick fields real-life questions about faith, relationships, and the tangled intersections between Catholicism and Protestantism, offering a moving story of a once-divided marriage, sharing a book to spark honest conversation, and urging listeners to consider Christ’s challenging call in Luke’s Gospel. He dissects scriptural references to Babylon, addresses listener worries about Michael Knowles and the legacy of Pope Pius XII, and speaks bluntly about Judas, free will, and how God’s knowledge differs radically from human experience. Patrick never shies away from the raw emotions and real dilemmas, choosing direct advice and practical resources over platitudes. Patrick continues his conversation with Laurie from the end of the last hour. She’s looking for advice for her adult son in regard to marrying a Catholic woman. (00:40) Anna - I heard an episcopal priest say that Babylon was Rome. Is this true? (13:11) Aimee (email) - I am not familiar with Mr. Knowles, is he a Catholic? I keep seeing an ad for Michael Knowles regarding "Hitler's Pope" or "Pope of Silence", Pope Pius XI and Vatican Secret Files. Have you seen it or have knowledge about it? I don't want to watch a program that is against Catholicism. (20:15) Audio: Michael Knowles debates, transgender guy who thinks he’s a woman Michelle - Judas gave the money back to the High Priest. Is that a form of Confession and was Judas saved by this? (29:27) Lucy - If God gave us free will, but there is a plan laid out for our lives, is that really free will? (48:13)
