In this powerful episode of Prayerful Posse, Raymond Arroyo convenes Father Gerald Murray and Robert Royal to unpack the week’s biggest stories in the Church and the world. From King Charles’ historic visit with Pope Leo in the Vatican and the growing divide inside the Church of England to shocking reports of a major restructuring of Opus Dei, the Posse analyzes what’s really happening—and why it matters.

They also tackle the Vatican’s response to Christian persecution in Nigeria, the continued suppression of the Traditional Latin Mass, and troubling trends inside Catholic higher education, including Georgetown’s new president publicly rejecting Church teaching. Plus: Pope Leo’s economic comments, Spain’s free-speech ruling, and why weakness in Rome could embolden radical Islam.
