About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: Pope Francis is back at the Vatican following his 4 day visit to Mongolia. Rome Correspondent for Catholic News Agency, Courtney Mares, joins to share why Pope Francis made the roughly 10 hour flight to Mongolia, with only 1,400 Catholics in the country. And while First Lady Jill Biden has tested positive for COVID-19, President Joe Biden continues to test negative as he prepares for a trip to India for the G20 Summit. Meanwhile, Nicaragua's government, led by President Daniel Ortega continues to escalate efforts to silence the Christian faithful. His targets include the Catholic Church, church officials, and even a leading bishop. As a new strain of COVID-19 begins to spread across the country, a number of institutions, including city governments, hospitals, schools and even Hollywood studios are implementing mask mandates. Director of the Independent Women's Forum, Julie Gunlock, shares how big of a concern she thinks the mask mandates are. Finally this year, one person who knows a lot about women and girls' sports is Sage Steele, a long time sportscaster and a staple on ESPN for more than a decade. However, when she appeared on a podcast in 2021 and gave her opinion on the COVID vaccine mandates and a few other topics that some deemed controversial, things changed. Steele joins to talk about her journey and how her Catholic faith is carrying her through it all. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
