About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: A few hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke to Congress, President Joe Biden announced $800 million more to help Ukraine. It will arrive in the form of more military aid. Founder and President of Lopez Liberty LLC, Clare Lopez, joins to share her thoughts on that and the president's comments today. And, in a move meant to help ease the high inflation that Americans have been facing, the Federal Reserve is raising the federal interest rates for the first time since 2018. Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, Joel Griffith, joins to talk more about this and breaks down how this increased interest rate will impact Americans' pocketbooks. Finally this evening, a Vatican university is set to host a 3 day meeting on the importance of democracy, titled "Educating for Democracy in a Fragmented World." Secretary General for the Pontifical Foundation on Education, Monsignor Guy-Real Thivierge, joins to tell us more about these meetings, how many people are taking part and where they are from.
