EWTN News Nightly | Thursday, April 20, 2023
On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: The Republican-controlled US House has now taken steps to preserve women-only sports, by passing the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. The US Conference of Catholic Bishops says it is supporting the bill and encouraging Catholics to write their lawmakers. The Biden Administration has already promised to veto the bill, should it arrive on the president's desk. They say it would deny access to sports for many families and is discriminatory. Meanwhile, a Catholic organization says it is prepared to file a lawsuit against the FBI. President of Catholic Vote, Brian Burch, joins to tell us about the Freedom of Information request they made to the FBI and where things stand now. And the Heritage Foundation is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a 2 day summit in Washington DC. Leaders from throughout the country were in attendance. Major League Baseball celebrated Jackie Robinson Day earlier this week. A recent article in the American Spectator examined Robinson's strong Christian faith. Professor of Political Science at Grove City College and author, Doctor Paul Kengor, joins to share some examples of Robinson's faith. Finally this evening, today is the 100th anniversary of the birth of our foundress, Mother Angelica. President and COO of EWTN News, Montse Alvarado, joins to tell us more about this celebration and how Mother Angelica was remembered today. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
