This episode of Prayerful Posse takes a closer look at confession—its biblical foundation, historic origins, and why the sacrament remains essential today. Father Gerald Murray and Robert Royal walk through common questions and misunderstandings, explain how priestly absolution works, and highlight the personal and spiritual benefits of confessing sins within the sacramental life of the Church. The second half turns to major Church and culture flashpoints, including U.S. bishops and immigration enforcement, debates over the Latin Mass, challenges to Catholic moral teaching, tensions within global Catholic leadership, and encouraging signs of renewal through rising conversions abroad. Practical analysis and candid commentary ground the discussion in today’s headlines. 👉 Subscribe to Arroyo Grande & The Prayerful Posse for in-depth conversations on culture, faith, art, and meaning.
