On this episode of The Prayerful Posse, Raymond Arroyo is joined by Fr. Gerald Murray and Robert Royal to confront rising attacks on churches and Christmas displays in Europe and the Church’s muted response. From the desecration of a Marian shrine in Switzerland to a surge in anti-Christian hate crimes, the panel asks why acts of sacrilege are being downplayed in the name of coexistence.

The discussion turns to the U.S., where a Catholic parish replaces the Holy Family in a Nativity scene with a political message. Fr. Murray explains why using sacred images for activism violates Church teaching and canon law.

The Posse also examines Vatican controversies involving Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, a disputed Marian document, Pope Leo’s geopolitical commentary, the Vatican’s China deal, and growing confusion over doctrine and leadership.
