About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: Pope Francis has announced some changes to next year's Synod on Synodality. In an announcement on Sunday, the Holy Father said the gathering of bishops now will take part over 2 sessions. EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief, Andreas Thonhauser, joins to tell us more about this announcement. And as the midterm elections move in fast, pro-life organizations are warning pro-life voters: “Extremists in DC want to force all 50 states to allow abortion without limits.” This as President Joe Biden tweeted that “MAGA Republicans want to ban abortion nationwide.” Meanwhile, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin's proposals take affect this week. Transgender children will be required to use bathrooms and locker rooms assigned to their biological sex. Washington Editor of the Spectator and host of the Unfit to Print podcast, Amber Athey, joins to tell us more about Governor Youngkin's new policy and what the reaction has been. Ohio has a lengthy history of being a swing state in deciding which party controls Congress. Cincinnati, Ohio is home to the state's first congressional district, where Catholic Congressman Steve Chabot hopes to keep his seat on Capitol Hill. Finally this evening, a new study is shedding light on the after-effects for women who undergo a chemical abortion. Assistant Director of Project Ministry at Project Rachel, a pro-life ministry, Mary McClusky, joins to tell us about these findings.
