Rubio in Rome & The Synod Strikes Back

On this week’s episode of the Prayerful Posse, Raymond Arroyo, Father Gerald Murray, and Robert Royal break down a controversial new Vatican synod report on “emerging issues,” including testimony praising same-sex unions as a “gift from God.”

The Posse examines the report’s implications for Church teaching, Pope Leo’s latest comments on war and nuclear weapons, and Marco Rubio’s high-profile Vatican visit amid renewed Trump–Leo tensions.

Plus: new US bishop appointments spark debate over politics and immigration, Fordham University’s president publicly disagrees with Catholic teaching on contraception, and the Posse reacts to an unexpected ABBA performance in St. Peter’s Square.

Then, in this week’s “ray of light,” they spotlight a surge of young Catholic converts filling pews in New York City.
