Prayerful Posse: Are Climate Change and Immigration Policy New Articles of Faith?

Has the Church turned global politics into dogma? In this charged episode, Raymond Arroyo convenes the Prayerful Posse—Father Gerald Murray and Robert Royal—to tackle whether climate change activism and immigration policy have become new “articles of faith” within the Catholic Church. From the Pope’s remarks on immigration and U.S. border enforcement to his global appeals on climate change, the Posse questions whether Rome’s moral focus has drifted from salvation toward social ideology. They also weigh in on the Vatican’s new rejection of the title Co-Redemptrix for Mary, the ongoing confusion over synodality, and the uproar surrounding bishops restricting traditional liturgical practices—kneeling at Communion, ad orientem Mass, and altar rails. Plus, analysis of the Pope’s comments on Venezuela, the latest on the Marko Rupnik scandal, and whispers of a new Vatican document on monogamy. It’s an unflinching, fast-moving discussion on the Church’s direction—faith versus fashion, doctrine versus diplomacy—and what Catholics should make of the shifting priorities in Rome. 🔔 Subscribe for more inspiring conversations: Arroyo Grande, available on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, iHeart, and everywhere you listen, watch & stream.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
