A quiet revolution in Church governance may be underway. A new report from the Vatican’s Synodal Office proposes changes to canon law that could expand the role of lay men and women in ecclesial governance. Could this fundamentally alter the hierarchical structure of the Catholic Church? Raymond Arroyo, Fr. Gerald Murray and Robert Royal examine the proposed canonical changes, the push for lay governance, and a Belgian bishop’s plans to prepare married men for the priesthood. Plus, Pope Leo’s triumphant visit to France: his call for doctrinal clarity, communion with the successor of Peter, Europe’s Christian identity, immigration, and the surprising signs of Catholic renewal in an increasingly secular nation. 👉 Subscribe to Arroyo Grande for in-depth conversations on culture, faith, art, and meaning.

Neal McDonough has built an unforgettable career playing some of Hollywood’s most memorable heroes and villains—from Band of Brothers and Yellowstone to Tulsa King. But behind the characters is a man whose faith and personal convictions nearly cost him everything. McDonough joins Raymond Arroyo to reveal why he refused to cross certain lines on screen, the devastating career setback that followed, and how faith, family, and sobriety helped pull him through his darkest years. He also opens up about working with Sylvester Stallone and Kevin Costner, why he refuses to watch his own performances, the role that changed his life, and how he’s finally making movies on his own terms. 👉 Subscribe to Arroyo Grande for in-depth conversations on culture, faith, art, and meaning.

The Prayerful Posse comes together in St. Louis to celebrate the life and legacy of Blessed Fulton Sheen. Raymond Arroyo, Fr. Gerald Murray, and Robert Royal explore the remarkable story behind one of the most influential Catholic voices of the 20th century — from his rise as a television phenomenon and his extraordinary intellectual life to his private suffering, daily Holy Hour, and path toward sainthood. Raymond also shares his personal connection to Sheen, the surprising story of how his programs returned to television, and the long journey that brought Sheen’s cause to this moment. What made Fulton Sheen such a powerful communicator — and why does his voice still resonate today? 👉 Subscribe to Arroyo Grande for in-depth conversations on culture, faith, art, and meaning.

What do St. Paul, Fulton Sheen and Mother Angelica have in common? Raymond Arroyo reflects on the fear, suffering and uncertainty that accompanied their extraordinary missions—and the faith that kept them moving forward. Drawing on his recent journey in the footsteps of St. Paul and his years with Mother Angelica, Raymond shares remarkable stories of perseverance, providence and what Mother called getting “the grace as you step.” From Paul’s trials across the ancient world to Fulton Sheen’s struggles within the Church and Mother Angelica’s unlikely creation of a global television network, this is a story of faith in the face of fear—and what can happen when you keep moving forward. 👉 Subscribe to Arroyo Grande for in-depth conversations on culture, faith, art, and meaning.

Pope Leo reverses a Francis-era Vatican policy—but restrictions on the Traditional Latin Mass remain largely unchanged. Raymond Arroyo and Fr. Gerald Murray examine what this reveals about the new pontificate, the Synod’s push to move Church governance “beyond purely hierarchical approaches,” and a new Vatican document raising questions about evangelization and interreligious dialogue. Plus, they react to some unusual scenes inside Catholic churches in Europe before turning to the upcoming beatification of Archbishop Fulton Sheen and the remarkable legacy of one of Catholicism’s greatest evangelists.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker joins Raymond Arroyo for a wide-ranging conversation about football, faith, family and the cultural battles beyond the field. Butker opens up about the rise of sports betting in the NFL and why he believes it’s doing real harm, reflects on the Chiefs’ difficult season, and reveals how his Catholic faith helps him handle the pressure of professional football. He also discusses his devotion to the Traditional Latin Mass, the controversy surrounding his now-famous Benedictine College commencement speech, his views on marriage and fatherhood, and the NFL’s response to his outspoken beliefs. Plus, Butker talks about the standards he hopes to bring back through his menswear company, Shepherd’s, and faces Raymond’s Arroyo Grande Questionnaire—revealing his greatest fear, greatest regret, the person he most admires and what he believes happens when this life is over.

Why is evangelization under attack in the Catholic Church? As secularization grows, some Church voices are questioning the need to actively persuade others, while Catholics themselves increasingly debate what it means to proclaim the Gospel.

What did Vatican II really say about the Mass? Sacrosanctum Concilium called for the preservation of Latin, gave Gregorian chant pride of place, and emphasized continuity with the Church’s liturgical tradition. Raymond Arroyo, Fr. Gerald Murray and Robert Royal examine what the Council actually prescribed, what changed afterward, and what Pope Leo XIV’s recent comments could mean for the future of the Mass. 👉 Subscribe to Arroyo Grande for in-depth conversations on culture, faith, art, and meaning.
