About this sermon
It was 60 years ago this month that the United States and Soviet Union teetered on the brink of nuclear war, yet even as the dark days of the Cuban Missile Crisis are behind us, the fear of nuclear war is not. As President Joe Biden warns of nuclear armageddon in the face of Russian aggression and other global tensions, the question for many of us, "Will history repeat itself?" The situation in October 1962 was dire. It was also somewhat complicated. Author and Professor of Political Science at Grove City College in Pennsylvania, Doctor Paul Kengor, joins to set the stage. Dr. Kengor credits certain world leaders for their efforts to "cool things down." This includes President Kennedy and also Pope John XXIII. He tells us about their leadership during this time. Many have criticized President Biden's recent warnings of nuclear armageddon, calling it inflammatory, but the professor has a different take. Dr. Kengor shares that with us. He discusses whether he is optimistic that we can get this right. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
