About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: CatholicVote is releasing an ad that slams the Biden Administration over its response to recent church attacks. At the same time, the White House will be holding a “United We Stand Summit” to “counter the corrosive effects of hate-fueled violence on our democracy and public safety…” And this week marks the 1 year anniversary of the US military withdrawal from Afghanistan. President of the Vulnerable People Project, Jason Jones, joins to give us an update on how many people remain in Afghanistan who want to leave. Meanwhile, the Vatican says it will not hold a trial against Cardinal Marc Ouellet, the former archbishop of Quebec who was accused of sexual assault in a civil trial suit filed earlier this week in Canada. Vatican Bureau Chief for EWTN News, Andreas Thonhauser joins to tell us more about this case. Tomorrow in France, the Taize community will celebrate 82 years since its formation. A member of the Taize community, Brother Emile, joins to tell us more about the community and about the principles they have been carrying out for over 80 years. Finally this evening, a Catholic organization outside the nation's capital recently asked the public to vote on the all-time Catholic baseball all-star team. And the results are in! President of Catholic Athletes for Christ, Ray McKenna, joins to share whether he was surprised by how many great baseball players were Catholic.
