About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: In a speech at the White House today, President Joe Biden once again harshly criticized the Supreme Court’s decision, two weeks ago, that ended Roe v. Wade and signed an executive order aimed at ensuring abortion access. And with the midterm elections just over 100 days away, the push is on by both Republicans and Democrats to win seats in Congress. Democrats have ramped up their efforts to make abortion rights front and center, with a multi-million dollar ad campaign. And churches are not the only buildings facing threats these days. Pro-life pregnancy centers also are under attack across the US. President of Heartbeat International, Jor-El Godsey, joins to share his thoughts on President Biden's executive order to help ensure access to abortions and how that might impact the work he does. Nearly 3 dozen faith-based institutions say they are divesting from fossil fuel companies. Theologian and professor at the Saint Elizabeth University in New Jersey, Erin Lothes, joins to tell us more about this decision. Finally this evening, a report from NBC News indicates that every branch of the military is struggling to meet their 2022 recruitment goals. Retired Army Lieutenant General and director of the Heritage Foundation's Center for National Defense, Tom Spoehr, joins to talk more about what he thinks is contributing to this recruiting crisis.
