Rome Caves to China, Cardinal Warns of Apocalyptic Beasts & Rupnik Off the Hook?

The Prayerful Posse tackles another week of major developments in the Catholic Church. Raymond Arroyo, Fr. Gerald Murray, and Robert Royal examine Pope Leo XIV's latest approval of bishops under the Vatican's controversial China agreement and ask what it means for faithful Catholics living under Communist persecution. The panel also discusses the latest developments in the Marco Rupnik abuse case, Cardinal Robert Sarah's call for wider access to the Traditional Latin Mass, the alarming decline in Catholics going to Confession, and why reverence in the liturgy seems to be a growing concern. Are transparency, tradition, and accountability finally returning to the Church—or are the same problems continuing under new leadership? 👉 Subscribe to Arroyo Grande for in-depth conversations on culture, faith, art, and meaning.
