About this sermon
A member of Congress from Ohio has issued a subpoena to FBI Director Christopher Wray. Republican Jim Jordan says he wants answers about a since withdrawn memo from the FBI's Richmond office. The letter focused on alleged extremism within the US Catholic Church. According to Representative Jordan, the bureau was targeting Catholics and seeking to use churches in part "as potential sources to monitor and report on their parishioners." President of Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio, Fr. Dave Pivonka, joins to share his reaction to Representative Jordan's push demanding answers about this memo. Fr. Pivonka tells us his thoughts on the push to target Catholic churches. He discusses why he thinks this memo specifically mentioned Catholics and what that signals. Another story in the news, military hospital Walter Reed canceled its Catholic pastoral services provided by Franciscan friars. Now, a secular non-profit will provide pastoral care. Fr. Pivonka helps us unpack this and why it could be problematic for Catholic patients. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
