Father Gerald Murray and Robert Royal walk through common questions and misunderstandings, explain how priestly absolution works, and highlight the personal and spiritual benefits of confessing sins within the sacramental life of the Church.

The second half turns to major Church and culture flashpoints, including U.S. bishops and immigration enforcement, debates over the Latin Mass, challenges to Catholic moral teaching, tensions within global Catholic leadership, and encouraging signs of renewal through rising conversions abroad.
