Summary
Patrick answers questions on Church controversies, including turbulence around the Society of St. Pius X and concerns over sacramental validity as new bishops are consecrated despite warnings from Rome. He reflects on the meaning of liturgical rituals, global threats to Christians, discerning Catholic authorship, and the diverse practices within Church-approved movements such as the Neocatechumenal Way. A surprising moment pops up when Patrick shares the uncanny bird calls of a twelve-year-old, blending encouragement and authenticity alongside difficult conversations.
- Madeline (email) - Today's first reading says, "I take no pleasure in your solemnities..." Why do we have solemnities? (00:47)
- Patrick addresses the emails coming in about Andrew’s call from the previous hour
- Audio: 12-year-old bird-calling prodigy Samuel Henderson is a master of bird calls - https://x.com/CrystalHope1979/status/2072194254424719412/video/1?s=46 (05:02)
- Maria - I was confirmed by an Archbishop of SSPX. Was it invalid and what are the repercussions? (09:26)
- George - I think about the Nigerian people being slaughtered. No one really pays attention to it. (15:16)
- Ceci – As a librarian of a Catholic library, do you have any authors who I should stay steer clear of? (17:17)
- Anne Marie - I had thoughts of suicide at times. I went to a priest who prayed prayers of deliverance and healing. (22:34)
- Alexis (email) - The Neocatechumenal Way is causing a very big uproar in our diocese, and I am curious what you think of it. (24:18)
- Gwen (email) – Please explain the SSPX issue that is happening right now.
- Michael - Have you ever meditated on being the last person alive to receive the Sacraments before Christ's return? (40:36)

| 0:12.1 | encouragement for your day. |
| 0:14.3 | It's the Patrick Madrid show on relevant radio. |
| 0:31.1 | Welcome back 889149149 and I want to read a couple of emails from the well from those of you who listened to my conversation with Andrew who had talked with me about thoughts about committing suicide. |
| 0:40.5 | I'll come back to that in a minute. |
| 0:41.9 | First, though, I have a note here from Madeline. |
| 0:43.7 | She's listening on the Relevant Radio app. |
| 0:45.2 | She says, today's first reading says, I take no pleasure in your solemnities. |
| 0:50.6 | So why do we have solemnities? |
| 0:53.2 | And by that, she's referring to in the Catholic Church, for example, like the solemnity of feast date kind of thing. |
| 0:58.8 | So this passage is from Amos chapter 5. |
| 1:03.2 | And it's from the Old Testament reading today. |
| 1:05.6 | And in verse 21, it says, I hate, I despise your feasts, and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies. |

| 1:27.7 | it says, of northern Israel's worship. The or Oracle is not an attack on ritual or sacrificial |
| 1:33.7 | worship per se since the Mosaic covenant called God's people to serve him in such ways. And it |
| 1:39.3 | references Leviticus chapters 1 through 7. The real problem is that liturgy has been disconnected from morality, going through the motions |
| 1:49.6 | of religious ritual. |
