About this sermon
The US Bishops' Conference is supporting a request to name Saint John Henry Newman, a doctor of the Church. Bishop Robert Barron says, "If this happens and Newman's named a doctor, we should really take advantage of that. Study his writings deeply, I think it might help heal some of the divisions in our Church." The request was overwhelmingly approved during the second public day of the Bishops' fall assembly. Several bishops stood and voiced their support for the measure. The request now heads to the Holy Father. Vice President and Editorial Director for EWTN News, Dr. Matthew Bunson, joins to share why this is notable and what it might mean for the faithful that the bishops voted almost unanimously to ask the Holy Father to declare St. John Henry Newman a doctor of the Church. Also on Wednesday, the bishops approved an update on their much-discussed document forming the consciences for faithful citizenship. It is their statement on Catholics and elections. Dr. Bunson tells us whether there was any controversy and what the document says. Dr. Bunson explains what stood out to him during these 2 days of public sessions. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
