About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: President Joe Biden marks the 30th anniversary of the Family and Medical Leave Act. It guarantees many American workers up to 12 unpaid weeks off to recover from major illness or childbirth or to take care of sick family members. Meanwhile, Pope Francis is spending his final full day in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It included an address before around 70,000 people, and the Holy Father delivered a message about the country's future. Elias Turk, ACI Mena Vatican Editor, is traveling with the Holy Father and he joins to fill us in on another busy day for the Pope in Congo. And laws against hate speech are already enforced across much of Europe, but are those same regulations headed to the US? That's the prediction of a top European Union leader at last month's world economic forum. Executive Director of Speech First, Cherise Trump, joins to walk us through these hate speech laws in Europe and what you are not allowed to say while in certain European countries. Finally this evening, in honor of the 49th annual Catholic Schools Week, Catholic schools across the US will host open houses, special Masses and a whole host of activities for students. Director of Newman Guide Programs for the Cardinal Newman Society, Kelly Salomon, joins to share why it is important to celebrate Catholic education.
