About this sermon

Tonight on "EWTN News Nightly": The White House was asked for further clarification today after President Joe Biden said yesterday at a Democratic fundraiser that the risk of nuclear “Armageddon” is at the highest level since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. And independent journalist from Iran, Mary Mohammadi, joins to share her path to Christianity and how it landed her in jail in Iran. As the midterm elections are only a few weeks away, in Arizona's 3rd Congressional District, a true grass-roots effort is taking place by Republican candidate Jeffrey Zink who is trying to unseat incumbent Rueben Gallego in a heavily populated Hispanic district. But one issue that seems to have bipartisan support is an initiative regarding families. A recent survey found more than 7 out of 10 registered voters are in favor of paid family leave. Senior advisor for Patriot Voices, Nadine Maenza, joins to tell us more about paid family leave and why she thinks it has such a strong support among Democrats and Republicans. Finally this evening, a Vatican foundation is hosting an international conference entitled "Inclusive Growth to Eradicate Poverty and Promote Sustainable Development and Peace," that looks at the current state of poverty, especially after the coronavirus pandemic. Professor of Banking at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan, Elena Beccalli, joins to tell us more about this conference. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective. Join host Tracy Sabol, our Capitol Hill, White House and Rome Correspondents, as well as many other diverse guests daily, to get the latest from the U.S. and the Vatican on topics regarding our Catholic faith and interests. ------------- EWTN News Nightly airs on EWTN weekdays at 6pm & 9pm ET. ------------ Don't miss an episode of EWTN New Nightly.
