Video Description

In this episode of Prayerful Posse, Raymond Arroyo, Fr. Gerald Murray, and Robert Royal unpack Pope Leo’s controversial “pro-life” comments and the firestorm surrounding Cardinal Cupich’s award to pro-choice Senator Dick Durbin. What does it mean when the Pope suggests abortion isn’t the only issue that matters? The panel dives deep into Catholic teaching on abortion, Communion, the death penalty, immigration, and why clarity from the Vatican matters now more than ever. We also explore new restrictions on the Traditional Latin Mass in Charlotte, the Pope’s comments on war and peace, and even his surprising appearance at a climate conference with Arnold Schwarzenegger. How should Catholics respond to these developments, and what is the true role of the Pope in defending Church teaching? Join us as the Posse tackles the week’s most pressing Church controversies—with insight, candor, and a call to remain steadfast in faith.
