On this week’s episode of the Prayerful Posse, Raymond, Fr. Gerald Murray and Robert Royal tackle a turbulent mix of global conflict, Church leadership and cultural flashpoints.
They break down Pope Leo’s call for nonviolence amid rising tensions in Iran, asking whether the Church is preaching peace – or drifting toward pacifism – and where just war doctrine fits in. The Posse also examines the Pope weighing in on political action and what that means for his moral authority.
On the cultural front, they react to backlash over Netflix’s Sandman and its controversial portrayal of the papacy, raising questions about selective outrage and attacks on Christianity.
Plus, signs of a shifting religious landscape – King Charles skips an Easter message while conversions surge across U.S. dioceses. What’s driving both decline and revival?
Sharp, direct and unfiltered – the Posse connects the week’s biggest stories to the deeper fight over faith, truth and tradition.
