This Holy Week edition of The Prayerful Posse dives into the global surge in Catholic converts—and why so many young people are returning to the Church. Raymond Arroyo, Father Gerald Murray, and Robert Royal explore the cultural forces behind this revival and whether the Church can sustain it.

The Posse also unpacks major developments under Pope Leo, including Vatican appointments, liturgical shifts, and ongoing debates over tradition, the Latin Mass, and the future of Catholic identity.

Plus, a look at rising persecution of Christians, Holy Week restrictions in Jerusalem, and key moral debates on war and immigration shaping the Church today.

In the “ray of light” segment, they highlight renewed interest in confession and the growing impact of Catholic media worldwide.

Stay the course. Follow the light.
