On this week’s episode of The Prayerful Posse, Raymond Arroyo, Father Gerald Murray, and Robert Royal examine the growing conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran and the debate among Catholic leaders over whether the war meets the Church’s just war criteria. The Posse breaks down statements from bishops and Vatican officials and discusses how Catholic moral teaching should be applied to modern warfare.

The panel also looks at disturbing reports of church desecrations in Mexico and the United States, raising questions about rising hostility toward Christianity and religious freedom.

Plus, the Posse analyzes a new Synod report on women in Church leadership, ongoing tensions surrounding the traditional Latin Mass and the SSPX, the Vatican’s quick response to a bishop’s scandal, the looming closure of a historic French monastery, and a moving story of strangers honoring a forgotten Navy veteran.
