As the year ends, The Prayerful Posse takes on a major Vatican moment: Pope Leo XIV’s decision to summon the full College of Cardinals to Rome. With Church governance, synodality, and sacred liturgy on the table, the panel asks whether this consistory marks a real break from the Francis era.

Father Gerald Murray and Robert Royal dig into what it means to put the traditional Latin Mass back on the agenda. Could Pope Leo loosen restrictions that have fractured clergy and faithful, and redefine how authority works in the Church?

The discussion expands to global flashpoints, from plans to modernize Notre Dame Cathedral to the imprisonment of Catholic democracy advocate Jimmy Lai in Hong Kong. The Posse examines what’s at stake when politics collides with faith, tradition, and religious freedom.

The episode closes with blunt talk on assisted suicide laws, high-profile conversions, and the Church’s moral voice in public life. As a new pontificate takes shape, the question is simple: where is the Church headed next?
