Prayerful Posse: Notre Dame Professor Controversy & SSPX Rift

On this episode of Prayerful Posse, Raymond Arroyo and the Papal Posse confront a growing controversy at the University of Notre Dame, where a senior academic appointment has ignited a battle over Catholic identity, leadership, and fidelity to Church teaching. Father Bill Miscamble of the Holy Cross Order explains why the decision is unprecedented, why it matters far beyond one department, and why students and faculty are pushing back. The panel then turns to Pope Leo XIV’s call for dialogue between the United States and Cuba, weighing the Church’s plea for peace against decades of repression and religious persecution. The Posse also examines rising tensions with the Society of Saint Pius X, fresh questions surrounding Vatican financial trials, the future of American episcopal leadership, and a troubling surge in attacks on Catholic churches. A wide-ranging conversation on faith, authority, and the stakes facing the Church today. 👉 Subscribe to Arroyo Grande & The Prayerful Posse for in-depth conversations on culture, faith, art, and meaning.
