On this week's Prayerful Posse, a Catholic cardinal declares that the Church isn't here to convert anyone, while Pope Leo rejects the very idea of holy war.

Plus, the controversy over 12 bishops praying with President Trump, the Vatican's refusal to allow Latin Mass pilgrims to pray at St. Peter's Basilica, Cardinal Cupich's decision to honor a billionaire abortion-rights donor, and a Georgetown conference's discussion of "queer saints."
