By Patrick Madrid

In this intriguing tour of the Catholic Church’s stunning history and traditions, Patrick Madrid draws upon his own experiences growing up Catholic in 1960s & 1970s California to his life’s work as an author, theology professor, and radio host, offering an insightful, deeply personal, scripturally based testament to Catholicism.

Why Be Catholic? celebrates the 2,000-year history of the Catholic Church and explores the foundations of its most notable—and sometimes controversial—teachings. His frank, fascinating, and often humorous narrative dispels misconceptions about the Holy Eucharist, tells the true story of his miracle encounter with the Blessed Virgin Mary, and pays homage to the profound (and sometimes colorful) history of the papacy.

Examining the Catholic Church’s seven sacraments, many martyrs, and countless charities, Madrid offers more than just a guide for happiness and better living, in Why Be Catholic? he makes a compelling case for why everyone should be Catholic — including you.

I have been listening to Relevant Radio for over 3 years now…and I attribute it to Patrick Madrid. I was scrolling through the radio stations in my vehicle. I am not really sure what caught my attention, (I have never liked talk radio), I only remember that I was in awe of how Patrick Interacted with ALL his callers. How he keeps his cool with people who, I would like to reach through the phone and slap them silly, is beyond me. Keep up the Good Work Patrick. Like many of your callers I have learned more from you and Relevant than all my years of Catholic instruction. I am also a lover of LARGE families. You have so much to be proud and thankful for..You have worked for it.

Dear Patrick, If only I could have 10 CD’s of Why Be Catholic ?. I would pass these out to all the people in the RCIA program at St. Bridge’s Catholic Church. It is the best way to answer all
the questions these people have. I can’t find it anywhere here in town. My sister-in-law found it in Alhambra, Ca. at the Sacred Heart Retreat house where we were at a Silent Retreat. She bought the CD so we could listen to it on our 6 hour drive home. It was wonderful. God bless you and your Dear Wife. Keep on speaking the word. You are a great speaker.
