About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: Catholic bishops are asking their flock to support what's called the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. The Biden Administration, however, has ripped the proposal. Last year, at the Southern border, there were more than 2 and a half million illegal migrant crossings and more are expected this year, with the end of Title 42. Today, the Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was grilled about what his department plans to do. Meanwhile, a new report says more than 5,000 Christians were killed last year in Nigeria. President of the Religious Freedom Institute, Eric Patterson, joins to share what is behind the violence and kidnappings and whether anything is being done to put a stop to it. And a public school system in Virginia is banning a high school teacher from including Bible verses in her email signature. The teacher has filed a lawsuit. The president and founder of Liberty Counsel, which is representing the teacher, Mat Staver, joins to share what Bible verses the teacher tired to include and what were some examples of email signatures to which Loudon County officials did not object. Finally this evening, Pope Francis has introduced an age limit for voting in synods and the elections of major Eastern Rite leaders. EWTN News Executive Editor and DC Bureau Chief, Dr. Matthew Bunson, joins to tell us more about the apostolic letter and what it means. ----------- EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
