About this sermon

Tonight on "EWTN News Nightly": Former President Donald Trump has released a letter to the House January 6th Committee. They subpoenaed him for his testimony about the 2021 Capitol attack. In his 14 page letter, he tore into the House Committee, calling them "highly partisan political hacks and thugs." And up to 24,000 Venezuelan migrants will now be able to catch a flight to the US. Those migrants will be allowed to stay in the country for up to 2 years. In turn, Venezuelans who try to enter the country illegally at the Southern border will be sent back to Mexico. Senior Fellow on Border Security and Immigration at the Heritage Foundation, Simon Hankinson, joins to share why the sudden move to green-light some migrants but not others. Meanwhile, a new report says faith groups are curbing their work in Haiti. They cite the 2021 kidnapping of more than a dozen missionaries and the unsafe and dangerous conditions in the Caribbean nation. Director of Outreach for Aid to the Church in Need, Edward Clancy, joins to share examples of recent violence toward Christians and Catholics in Haiti. Finally this evening, Pope Francis in his message for World Mission Day on October 23rd called on the faithful to take up the courage of early Christians. EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief Andreas Thonhauser speaks to Fr. Robert McCulloch, who has been a missionary priest in Pakistan for 3 decades.
