Pope Leo’s Plans for the Latin Mass

This week on the Prayerful Posse, Raymond Arroyo, Father Gerald Murray, and Robert Royal break down new reports suggesting Pope Leo may be easing the Latin Mass restrictions through broader exemptions. They examine what this means for bishops, traditional communities, and whether these changes signal the beginning of a quiet shift away from Traditionis Custodes.

The Posse also unpacks the Synod’s interim reports—raising fresh concerns about evolving terminology, bureaucratic jargon, and attempts to revive long-settled debates. From “pastorality” to the push for expanded lay governance, they explore what these documents reveal about the Synod’s real direction.

Raymond, Father, and Bob then analyze Pope Leo’s latest unscripted comments on Nigeria and U.S. immigration enforcement, as well as the media-driven controversy surrounding a Vatican luncheon for the poor that included transgender attendees.

The episode closes on a hopeful note: a surge in young adult converts entering the Church across the country—especially in New York—and why parishes rooted in beauty, reverence, and doctrinal clarity are drawing people back to the faith in remarkable numbers.
