In this episode of The Prayerful Posse, Raymond Arroyo is joined by Fr. Gerald Murray, Robert Royal, and Vatican journalist Diane Montagna to unpack Pope Leo XIV’s surprising move in China. The Pope has appointed a formerly underground bishop to serve in Fuzhou—with the approval of the CCP. Is this a continuation of the Vatican’s secretive China deal, or the start of a new direction? The panel discusses the implications for the underground Church and the future of Catholicism in China.

Then, Diane brings new insights into the fallout surrounding Fr. Marko Rupnik. With the disgraced artist’s mosaics finally being scrubbed from Vatican sites, is Pope Leo beginning to clean house? The conversation turns to justice, accountability, and what Rupnik’s long-standing protection says about the past—and the future—of Church leadership. The Posse also reacts to the quiet removal of Archbishop Zanchetta and Pope Leo’s heartfelt call for priests to live lives of credibility and integrity.

Finally, a fiery debate erupts over immigration, ICE raids, and how Church leaders are responding. Have some bishops blurred the line between mercy and lawlessness? The team explores how to balance justice with compassion in a time of national crisis. Plus: a viral papal moment with a bucket hat–wearing bishop proves Pope Leo’s got both reverence and media savvy.

Is the golden age of family entertainment over? This week on Arroyo Grande, Raymond sits down with Sycamore Studios founder Christian McGuigan, a veteran of Hollywood and father of five, who's leading a new movement to reclaim wonder, virtue, and timeless storytelling in kids' media.

From Disney’s recent box office flops and mass layoffs to the deeper reasons families are tuning out — we dig into the culture clash reshaping children’s entertainment. Christian explains why “eighty million Americans walked away,” what makes a movie worth staying in the room for, and how his new studio plans to win back trust by focusing on what’s “good, true, and beautiful.”

We also take a hard look at ideological overreach in modern media, the genius of Walt Disney’s original vision, and the danger of turning children into “a means to an end.”

If you care about what your kids are watching — or what’s missing from today’s movies — this conversation is essential.

As tensions rise around the future of the Traditional Latin Mass, The Prayerful Posse dives into the latest crackdown in the Diocese of Charlotte. Bishop Michael Martin has moved all TLM celebrations to a remote chapel—displacing thousands of faithful parishioners. With Pope Leo XIV newly elected, the posse asks: Why now?

Raymond Arroyo is joined by Father Gerald Murray and Robert Royal to break it all down. They explore what the Latin Mass is, why it matters, and whether these restrictions reflect the Church’s actual teaching—or something else entirely.

The panel unpacks the fallout: from parishioner backlash to the bishop’s talking points, and whether this signals a wider push to suppress reverence, tradition, and beauty in worship. They argue that unity should not come at the cost of marginalizing the devout.

Also in this episode: what Pope Leo might do next, the Vatican’s silence on China’s persecuted Catholics, and how the Church risks forgetting its own heritage.

If you care about liturgy, liberty, and the life of the Church, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
