About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: As most Americans keep shelling out well over $3 for a gallon of gas and in some places more than $5, President Joe Biden announced the release of more oil from the US strategic reserve. The move comes after OPEC+ nations cut oil production, prompting a White House warning. The ranking Republican Senator on the Judiciary Committee, Senator Chuck Grassley, says new whistle blower documents reveal that President Biden "was aware of Hunter Biden's business arrangements and may have been involved in some of them." The Senator is now demanding that the FBI investigate. And Melanie Standiford was an anchor and news director at an NBC affiliate in North Platte, Nebraska who was fired after participating in an initiative to make her home town a Sanctuary City for the Unborn. Standiford joins to explain what happened and what the issue was. Meanwhile, a judge in New York recently ruled in favor of legal protection for polyamorous relationships. The judge said the definition of family is changing and it is possible for a child to have more than 2 legal parents. President of the Dominican House of Studies in Washington DC, Fr. Thomas Petri, joins to share what he makes of this ruling and what sort of precedent it set. Finally this evening, the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate gathered in Rome for their general chapter. Father Bonga Thami joins to tell us more about his congregation and their meeting in Rome.
