About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: Pope Francis presided over 2 important celebrations over the weekend. On Saturday, the Holy Father created 20 new cardinals at the Vatican, and Sunday the pope visited the Italian city of L'Aquila. Executive Editor and Washington Bureau Chief of EWTN News, Matthew Bunson joins to tell us more about the consistory and L'Aquila. Meanwhile, not stopping to talk with the press, President Joe Biden headed across the south lawn, on his way to the oval office. Just over the weekend he posted a blistering tweet stating, "We cannot allow an out-of-control Supreme Court and Republican elected officials to push an extreme agenda that takes away freedoms and personal autonomy." And a federal district court recently blocked the Biden Administration's attempt to force emergency room doctors to perform abortions. Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys represented the pro-life groups. With Alliance Defending Freedom, Denise Harle, joins to tell us about the proposed mandate and why ADF calls it an attempt to turn emergency rooms into walk-in abortion facilities. Finally this evening, Azra Jafari made history in 2008, when she became the 1st female mayor of a city in Afghanistan. Her appointment by the country's then-president was seen as a sign of progress. Jafari joins to shares what the reaction was in Afghanistan when she was appointed mayor. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
