About this sermon
Lawmakers in Hong Kong have unanimously approved a new National Security Law. One lawmaker says Hong Kong is simply following other nations with enacting more national security laws. The second bill is backed by China's Communist government. It threatens life imprisonment for treason and insurrection. There also are concerns that Catholic priests could be coerced into revealing what they hear in Confession. Main Street Columnist for the Wall Street Journal and the godfather of pro-Democracy protestor Jimmy Lai, Bill McGurn, joins to tell us more about the new National Security Law and what the difference is from the measure signed in 2020. McGurn shares what more he knows about how this could impact the Catholic Church and Christian communities and whether Catholic priests could be forced to break the seal of Confession. He discusses whether there has been any reaction from the international community and whether he expects the White House or other world leaders to push back on this. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
