About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of the SSPX excommunication and various Vatican debates on Catholic tradition and practices.

The fallout from Rome's excommunication of the Society of St. Pius X continues as bishops around the world respond—and some are calling for a broader return of the Traditional Latin Mass. Raymond Arroyo, Father Gerald Murray, and Robert Royal examine what these developments could mean for Pope Leo's pontificate and the future of Catholic tradition. The Posse also analyzes the Vatican's renewed focus on Amoris Laetitia , the continuing debate over Communion for the divorced and remarried, controversial episcopal appointments, immigration policy, liturgical abuses, and the latest signs of the Synodal agenda shaping the life of the Church.
