On this episode of Prayerful Posse, Raymond Arroyo, Fr. Gerald Murray, and Robert Royal examine renewed Vatican talks with the Society of St. Pius X and the potential fallout if unauthorized bishop ordinations proceed. The panel explores what this moment means for Church unity, papal authority, and the future of the traditional Latin Mass.
They also react to the Bishop of South Bend’s strong opposition to Notre Dame’s controversial appointment, discuss the long-delayed beatification of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, and warn about the growing threat of AI deepfakes impersonating clergy and targeting the faithful.
Plus, the sentencing of Catholic publisher Jimmy Lai in Hong Kong raises urgent questions about religious freedom and Vatican diplomacy, while new survey data reveals shifting attitudes among U.S. Catholics. The episode closes on a hopeful note, highlighting an Olympic athlete boldly living out her Catholic faith.
