About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: While First Lady Jill Biden tested positive for Covid and is now isolating, President Joe Biden flew to Washington to put his pen to paper on the multibillion dollar Inflation Reduction Act, he says will save families money. Many are skeptical that the law will help the record-high inflation Americans are currently facing. Cofounder and President of Real Clear Politics, Tom Bevan, joins to talk more about this law and what is in it. He discusses how big of a victory the Inflation Reduction Act is for Democrats and for President Biden's agenda. And Pope Francis has long said he wants the Church to be more transparent. To that end, the Vatican recently released two important financial statements. The first document is the Holy See's financial statement for 2021, which shows a deficit of more than $3 million. The other report is for a section of the Vatican. EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief, Andreas Thonhauser, joins to explain whether we should be concerned about the Holy See's finances. Finally this evening, Clarence Thomas will not be teaching at George Washington University Law School in Washington DC this fall. Coauthor of "Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words," Mark Paoletta, joins to talk more about the Catholic Supreme Court justice's decision not to return to GWU and how much he thinks the Dobbs decision played a role in his departure.
