About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: Pope Francis is in the midst of meeting this week with 3 delegations of indigenous people from Canada. Vice President of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, Bishop William McGrattan, joins to remind us of some of the allegations against the government-funded Christian schools and specifically the alleged decades of abuse by some Catholic priests and school workers. Meanwhile, Catholic President Joe Biden's 2023 budget is out and it is nearly $6 trillion. It once again scraps all pro-life protections and makes abortion on demand more accessible. Republicans say they're not surprised. And even after the U.S. has spent trillions of dollars fighting the COVID pandemic that has killed nearly a million Americans, the White House says more money is needed. A new poll from Politico shows 70% of registered voters believe the country has "pretty seriously gotten off track." Cofounder and President of Real Clear Politics, Tom Bevan, joins to share his thoughts on the poll numbers and what he thinks that may signal for the midterm elections. Finally this evening, a Catholic priest is among the dozens of people kidnapped in Nigeria over the weekend. Fellow at the Center for Religious Freedom at the Hudson Institute and Senior Fellow for International Religious Freedom for the Family Research Council, Lela Gilbert, joins to talk more about the abductions that occurred this weekend. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective. Join host Tracy Sabol, our Capitol Hill, White House and Rome Correspondents, as well as many other diverse guests daily, to get the latest from the U.S. and the Vatican on topics regarding our Catholic faith and interests. ------------- EWTN News Nightly airs on EWTN weekdays at 6pm & 9pm ET. ------------ Don't miss an episode of EWTN New Nightly.
