About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: The Diocese of Rome will offer a special Mass tomorrow afternoon for Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. It will be held inside the Basilica of St. John Lateran. Matthew Bunson, EWTN Executive Director and Washington D.C. Bureau Chief, joins us with more into the life of Benedict XVI. He shares the latest on the former pope's health, what his life has been like since his resignation in 2013, and the contributions he has made to the Catholic Church. As he vacations in the Virgin Islands, President Joe Biden is continuing to defy his Catholic faith by adamantly supporting abortion, tweeting Thursday that ever since the High Court dismantled Roe v. Wade last June he has “fought to protect access to reproductive health care—including taking bold executive action.” White House correspondent Owen Jensen reports. Congress is taking steps to cut back the influence of TikTok, the Chinese based video platform app. Lawmakers want to ban it because they say the company running the platform is linked to China's Communist government and presents a security risk to all Americans. Capitol Hill Correspondent Erik Rosales reports. A new magazine article is shedding light on the plight of the faithful in the oldest Christian nation on earth. Writing in "Compact Magazine," Sohrab Ahmari said in part, "Armenians face extinction in a territory stippled by their churches and crosses." Sohrab Ahmari, Founder and Editor of Compact Magazine, joins us with insight. Don't miss out on the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
