About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: The Marriage Equality Act passed by the House last week is waiting Senate action. All Democrats support it and as of right now at least 4 Republicans are on board. Some lawmakers worry about provisions redefining marriage, that go beyond codifying same sex marriages. And there have been at least 82 attacks on pro-life organizations in the United States since the beginning of May. Staff writer for Catholic News Agency, Joe Bukuras, joins to tell us about the few arrests that there have been for the damages on some Catholic Churches. President Joe Biden, recovering from a bout with Covid-19, said today his “symptoms were mild” and his “recovery was quick” as he thanked people for their prayers and urged Americans to take precautions against the BA.5 variant. This week marks 1 month since the Supreme Court released its decision on Dobbs and overturned Roe v Wade. It's a decision that has the nation grappling over whether the ruling impacts religious freedom. Managing Director for the Coalition for Jewish Values, Rabbi Yaakov Menken, joins to tell us what the Jewish faith teaches about abortion. Finally this evening, the Pontifical North American College, a main seminary in Rome, has a new rector. Monsignor Thomas Powers is a former student there and joins to tell us more about this appointment and whether having studied there will help him in his current role.
