A new purge of the Traditional Latin Mass is spreading across the United States and Europe — but why now? Raymond Arroyo and Fr. Gerald Murray dig into what’s driving this wave of restrictions and whether Pope Leo’s latest teaching document on the poor truly holds up. From the crackdown on the Tridentine rite in Knoxville and Chattanooga to the Vatican’s growing focus on immigration policy, this week’s Prayerful Posse explores the clash between faith, tradition, and politics inside today’s Church.

Raymond and Father Murray also tackle the controversy surrounding Jesuit artist Fr. Marko Rupnik and his upcoming canonical trial, the shocking desecration at St. Peter’s Basilica, and the ongoing divisions sparked by Germany’s LGBT pilgrimage. Together, they unpack what these stories reveal about the Church’s spiritual direction, its leadership, and its treatment of faithful Catholics devoted to the Latin Mass.
