About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: The US Supreme Court justices heard arguments today in a case involving a former high school football coach in Washington state. School officials told him to stop praying on the field following games. The Christian coach says the request violates his freedom of speech. From the Defense of Freedom Institute for Policy Studies, Angela Morabito, joins to remind us why this case is so important for freedom of religion. And at the Capitol, Democrats' list of priorities includes items that have been bogged down in Congress for weeks. They want President Joe Biden's social spending plan to pass and to add nearly $10 trillion dollars in new COVID money for vaccine research. Meanwhile, President Biden nominated Bridget Brink, a veteran foreign service officer, to serve as the next US Ambassador to Ukraine. His pick comes as American diplomats are headed back to Ukraine after evacuating Kyiv earlier this year when war broke out. Journalist for the Associated Press, John Gambrell, joins from Lviv, Ukraine to set the scene for us there and shares whether there are any hopes that negotiations for peace between Russia and Ukraine might begin again. Finally this evening, today marks the 77th anniversary of the liberation of Italy and the end of World War II. EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief, Andreas Thonhauser shares more.
