About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: China has announced it will continue military drills around Taiwan. These latest words follow a new visit by US lawmakers to the self-ruled island of Taiwan, led by Senator Ed Markey. Author, Gordon Chang, joins to share how important it is that America continues to display our alliance with Taiwan. And, the author Salman Rushdie is on the road to recovery after suffering serious injuries on Friday. President Joe Biden has condemned the attack on Rushdie calling him courageous and resilient. Meanwhile, the president is also speaking out about the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act. The Globe Theater in London is opening a show called "I, Joan," a rendition of the story of Joan of Arc, with the title character using the pronouns "they/them." DC Correspondent at the Daily Wire, Mary Margaret Olohan, joins to share how Joan of Arc being portrayed as a character that does not identify as a woman impacts the story being told. She also talks about her thoughts on the Atlantic article linking the rosary to violence and extremism. Finally this evening, the Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary is celebrated around the world today, but it means slightly different things to different faith traditions. EWTN Vatican Producer Benjamin Crockett explains how today in Italy, they celebrate Ferragosto. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
