from Arroyo Grande with Raymond Arroyo · host iHeartPodcasts

From the shocking dismissal of faithful professors at St. Mary Seminary to explosive allegations of new financial scandals inside the Vatican, the Posse tackles the stories making headlines and shaking the faithful. Father Murray offers sharp insights into why respected Catholic scholars like Ralph Martin and Ed Peters may have been purged, raising urgent questions about transparency, freedom of thought, and fidelity to the Magisterium. The discussion also unpacks a leaked memo tied to Cardinal George Pell’s financial oversight efforts and the troubling history of Vatican banking irregularities. The episode then turns to the Vatican’s attempt to engage young people through “digital missionaries” and influencer culture, with Father Murray questioning whether self‑styled online personalities are truly advancing the faith. Plus, the Posse addresses the Trump administration’s push to expand religious freedom in the workplace, and the tragic Islamic attack on a Catholic church in Congo, leaving dozens dead.
