About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: The White House says a new North Carolina abortion ban "will harm patients and threaten doctors." The president and vice president both side with pro-abortion groups including one that held a big event last night in Washington DC. Congress and the White House are racing against the clock to find a path avoiding default on the nation's debt. The mood on Capitol Hill is hopeful, Congressional leaders say they want to reach a framework agreement by the end of the week. And a report in The Washington Examiner says the Los Angeles Dodgers will honor a transgender group that uses Catholic imagery in sexualized contexts. Executive Editor of the upcoming journal at Common Sense Society, Christopher Bedford, joins to share what his take is on this decision by the Dodgers and what it signals. Meanwhile, the 22nd General Assembly of Caritas Internationalis took place in Rome to elect new leadership. New Secretary General at Caritas Internationalis, Alistair Dutton, joins to tell us more about the general assembly and what issues they focused on in addition to the elections. Finally this evening, Teddy Howell is 9 and the third grader is the host of the podcast, "The Kids' Bible in a Year with Teddy." The podcast is based on the wildly popular "The Bible in a Year" with Father Mike Schmitz. Young podcaster Teddy Howell and his father Sean join to discuss the podcast and how it came about. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
