About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: Officials from Russia and Ukraine held a new round of talks today. The aim was to end the military conflict. Though the sides spoke by video link, no agreement was reached yet. Associated Press International Affiliate Reporter, Philip Crowther, joins us from Lviv to share what the situation is like where he's at. And the Vatican is weighing in on the military conflict in Ukraine. On Sunday, Pope Francis made a heartfelt appeal to end the violence. EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief, Andreas Thonhauser, joins to tell us more about what the Holy Father said. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden told the National League of Cities Congressional City Conference, "make no mistake, the current spike in gas prices is largely the fault of Vladimir Putin." As war rages in Ukraine, the US says Russia is asking China for military help, but the Kremlin denies that accusation. House Democrats are back from their policy retreat, and they are looking to get a number of things done before the election season hits full stride. They want to have President Biden pass his agenda through executive order. Finally this evening, Texas Governor Greg Abbott is cracking down on non-prescription fentanyl, an issue he links to lack of security at the border. Host of "The Michael Knowles Show," Michael Knowles, joins to explain how big of a problem fentanyl is becoming. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
