  • One of my favourites

    In my nightly line up of podcasts, if the Posse is there it goes to the top of my list.

    There is never a personal attack. The comments are respectful, the arguments are thoughtful. Well done.

  • Disappointed

    I was very disappointed in your softball interview of James Carville. This man along with the rest of his ilk have the blood of millions of unborn children on his hands yet you decided to let him dance around his reasoning for supporting abortion. I thought you were better than this. I was wrong.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pope Leo's Health Crisis & Vatican Cardinal Attacks the Latin Mass | Prayerful Posse
Q: Is the departing prefect here speaking for the pope, or trying to box him in, Bob?
Robert Royal says Cardinal Roche's comments do not necessarily represent Pope Leo's position and argues the Second Vatican Council's liturgy document supports traditional elements. He says the Pope need not feel constrained by Roche's claims.
Pope Leo's Health Crisis & Vatican Cardinal Attacks the Latin Mass | Prayerful Posse
Q: What do you make of the level of transparency compared to the drip, drip, drip of bulletins during Francis' 38 days at the Gemelli?
Robert Royal says the Vatican initially seemed more open, but he believes it withheld important information about the seriousness of the illness. He also doubts the Pope's schedule clearance allows enough time for recovery and the planned Peru trip.
Exorcist Fr. Ripperger Silenced? Vatican Appoints Women's Ordination Advocate | Prayerful Posse
Q: How do the Pope's first comments here, after that meeting, strike you? And is this an indicator perhaps of where he stands?
Gerald Murray welcomes the Pope's recovery and says his comments affirm marriage as a lifelong, faithful sacrament. He argues that Amoris Laetitia should be amended because its treatment of divorced and remarried Catholics conflicts with that teaching.
Exorcist Fr. Ripperger Silenced? Vatican Appoints Women's Ordination Advocate | Prayerful Posse
Q: When you look at this, what do you think we're seeing here? Is this a penalty? Is this a polite request? What's the canonical reality behind a media fast?
Gerald Murray says it is not a penalty because no penalty was declared. He characterizes it as ordinary pastoral governance and says Father Ripperger agreed to the bishop's request.
JD Vance EXCLUSIVE: 2026 Midterms, Crisis in Europe & His Journey Back to Faith
Q: After your mamaw's funeral. Yes. You're driving back in a car. Tell me what happens there.
Vance recounts losing control of his car on a mountain road while returning to his Marine Corps base. The car stopped before going over the edge, an experience he later interpreted as possibly supernatural and part of his path toward faith.
