In this week’s Prayerful Posse, Raymond Arroyo, Father Gerald Murray, and Robert Royal break down the first 100 days of Pope Leo’s pontificate — and the investigation he’s launched into Peruvian Cardinal Carlos Castillo over allegations of misconduct and financial irregularities. The Posse examines what this says about Leo’s leadership style, contrasts it with Pope Francis, and looks ahead to potential changes on the Latin Mass.

The conversation also dives into Spain’s ban on Islamic public celebrations, the Spanish bishops’ controversial response, and the political and cultural tensions fueling the debate. Plus — Madonna calls on Pope Leo to visit Gaza, Marco Rubio outlines the realities of the conflict, and the Posse reacts.

Other topics include Pope Benedict’s letter settling the resignation debate, a woman “engaged” to her AI boyfriend, the United Church of Canada’s steep membership decline amid LGBTQ advocacy, and one New York bishop’s hands-on approach to tackling the priest shortage.
