About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: Lawmakers have passed a pro-life law in North Carolina that Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America says will “protect unborn babies from late-term abortions” and provide millions of dollars in support for children. And Democrats are ratcheting up calls for Supreme Court ethics reform. Republicans accuse Democrats of being bitter over recent High Court rulings. Meanwhile, a new report says the test scores for 8th graders in the United States in both US History and Civics are on the decline. Spokesperson for the Defense of Freedom Institute and former Press Secretary for the US Department of Education, Angela Morabito, joins to take us inside these numbers, how they are compiled and how concerning this is. Pope Francis will send a representative to the coronation on Saturday of King Charles III in England. Rome Correspondent for the National Catholic Register, Edward Pentin, is in England for the coronation. He joins to discuss how significant it is that Cardinal Nichols will give a formal blessing and what it might signal for future Catholic-Anglican relations. Finally this evening, EWTN Ireland presented its latest film in Rome. The "Faith of Our Fathers" is the title of the movie that tells the story of a Catholic priest hiding in fear of the Austere laws of the penal times in Ireland. Director of EWTN Ireland, Aidan Gallagher, joins to tell us more about this film. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
