About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: In Milwaukee, Wisconsin at 9pm ET, multiple Republican presidential candidates will take the stage for two hours battling it out over the top issues of the day. Former President Donald Trump will not be taking part in this first GOP primary debate. Political Science Professor at Grove City College in Pennsylvania, Dr. Paul Kengor, joins to talk more about the debate and whether historically something like this has happened before with a candidate who has such a strong lead. Meanwhile, Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville is holding up military nominations because of the defense department's abortion policies. The Chair of the Alabama Republican Party says Senator Tuberville is on solid ground. And there are new developments in the targeting of Catholics by the Ortega regime in Nicaragua. President of the Global Liberty Alliance and an expert on Central and South America, Jason Poblete, joins to share why he thinks President Ortega continues these activities, following a string of other anti-religious/anti-Catholic actions. Finally this evening, Pope Francis is writing a second part of Laudato Si', his landmark letter on concern for the care of the planet. EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief, Andreas Thonhauser, joins to tell us more about the Holy Father writing a second part of Laudato Si', what it will focus on and why he is writing it now. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
