About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: White House Correspondent Owen Jensen was able to ask President Joe Biden directly, "Should there be any restrictions on abortion at all?" And earlier this year, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of the Archdiocese of San Francisco banned House Speaker Nancy Pelosi from receiving Holy Communion in her home diocese. The archbishop said he was motivated by Speaker Pelosi's reaction to the Texas Heartbeat Law which banned abortion after 15 weeks. A new exhibition in Spain renews interest in the Shroud of Turin. This new exhibition showcases a life-sized model of a man depicting the person who was wrapped in the shroud, to many, Jesus Christ. EWTN News Correspondent Colm Flynn reports. Coal for Christmas may not be on everyone's holiday wish list, but for many people in Afghanistan it is a life-saving gift as they face a harsh winter. The Vulnerable People Project's Coal for Christmas initiative aims to help one million Afghans at risk of starvation and exposure this winter. Champion of Catholic Human Rights, Jason Jones tells us more about this. Finally, this evening, the Pontifical North American College got a new rector this year.
