About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: At the Sunday address, the Holy Father launched another powerful appeal for an end to the "barbaric and sacrilegious" act of war. The Pope also noted that "we should not accustom ourselves to war" but "we need to convert today's disdain into a commitment for tomorrow." Iwo Bender, manager of EWTN Central Europe, joined to give his thoughts on the remarks. As President Joe Biden deals with Ukraine and the fallout from a controversial comment, he's also releasing a new $5.8 trillion dollar budget proposal that raises concern for pro-life supporters, as the budget would make contraceptive coverage more accessible by eliminating related copayments. President Biden also recently traveled to Poland and spoke in the country about the ongoing Russia-Ukraine crisis. November's upcoming midterm election is on the minds of Capitol Hill lawmakers and the ideas they will be pitching to voters. However, the House GOP is currently dealing with the resignation of pro-life congressman Jeff Fortenberry, who will be resigning from the House of Representatives. This comes after a jury convicted him of lying to federal authorities about accepting an illegal $30,000 dollar campaign donation from a foreign national, with leaders of both parties having asked him to step down. Amber Athey, Washington Editor at The Spectator, joined to give her thoughts on Fortenberry's resignation, as well as President Biden's new budget proposal and remarks about the Russian-Ukraine crisis.
