About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: The US Supreme Court has issued a unanimous ruling against the city of Boston in a case involving the display of a Christian flag. Senior Editor at the Federalist and Cofounder of Right Forge, Chris Bedford, joins to share his reaction to the unanimous decision and its religious freedom implications. In Lviv, Ukraine, near the Polish border, US diplomats held a news conference as they returned to the war-torn country invaded by Russia about 10 weeks ago. Their message to Russia: “You failed.” Fresh off a trip to Ukraine, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Congress' most pressing issue is to pass more aid to the war-torn country. But right now, those funds are tied up in the form of $10 billion in new COVID relief money, along with Title 42 and the immigration crisis along the Southern border. Meanwhile, China celebrated May Day quietly this year as China's "zero COVID" approach made it difficult for visitors to come, as several cities are facing lockdowns and many travel restrictions are in place. Author, Gordon Chang, joins to share the economic repercussions of all this on the country. Finally this evening, the Holy Father has appointed a new leader for the territory of Southern Arabia. Bishop Paolo Martinelli has been an Auxiliary Bishop of Milan. EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief, Andreas Thonhauser, joins to tell us more about Pope Francis' appointment.
