About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: Reaction is pouring in after Mikhail Gorbachev, the man who steered the break-up of the Soviet Union died on Tuesday in Moscow. Pope Francis is among world leaders remembering Gorbachev today. Professor of Political Science at Grove City College and author, Doctor Paul Kengor, joins to talk about Gorbachev as a pivotal figure during the end of the Cold War and what his legacy is. President Joe Biden paid tribute to Gorbachev as “a man of remarkable vision” who, with President Ronald Reagan, helped keep the world at peace while nuclear weapons were aimed at each Super Power nation during the Cold War. And, Catholic communicators gathered in Seoul, South Korea, to launch an urgent call for peace through digital communication. President of SIGNIS World Catholic Association for Communication, Helen Osman, joins to tell us more about this meeting and what themes were addressed. Finally this evening, Thursday's opening school year Mass at the Catholic University of America will feature a chalice from the 15th century. The silver-gilt artifact is a rare survivor of the Protestant Reformation. Catholic University's Chaplain, Fr. Aquinas Guilbeau, joins to tell us about the history of this chalice and how the opportunity came about for it to be used at the Mass.
