About this sermon
In Ireland, 2 constitutional amendments targeting women and the family have been rejected. The country's prime minister said he was disappointed by the defeat of "more inclusive language". By wide margins, Ireland voted against legally re-defining family as "founded on marriage or on other durable relationships". It also voted to retain language about the social value of women within the home. Independent Irish Senator Ronan Mullen, talks more about the results of the vote and the message it sends about where the people of Ireland stand when it comes to marriage and family. Mullen shares whether he thinks we're seeing a shift in Irish culture or whether it was simply a poorly run campaign for the "yes-yes" vote. Less than 50% of the electorate turned out for the vote. Mullen discusses why he thinks this was the case. With a general election in less than a year, Mullen explains whether he expects Prime Minister Leo Varadkar and other liberal lawmakers to rethink what issues are critical to Irish voters. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
