More Than 350 Attacks on Catholic Churches Since 2020 | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

A recent opinion piece is accusing the Department of Justice of political bias. Writing in the Daily Caller, Brian Burch of Catholic Vote said in part, "The DOJ's relentless persecution serves as a chilling reminder that they will go after anyone who dares to deviate from any part of their liberal orthodoxy." President of CatholicVote.org, Brian Burch, is tracking the attacks on Catholic Churches on his website and he notes there have been more than 350 attacks in the US since 2020. Burch gives us a sense of the types of attacks and whether it seems to be concentrated to one region or whether it is widespread. When the Dobbs decision was leaked in May 2022, it set off a flurry of attacks on Catholic churches, some 200 since then. That said, Burch discusses how many arrests have been made in those cases and whether he thinks enough is being done to bring those responsible to justice. He explains what kind of signal he thinks this sends to the faithful, that these attacks are taking a backseat with the DOJ. Burch fills us in on where we are in terms of arrests in these cases. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
