Catholic Response to Push for Peace in Ukraine

Author: EWTN August 23, 2025 Duration: 57:44
Archbishop Borys Gudziak speaks to us from Ukraine with his reaction to the latest Ukraine-Russia peace efforts.  Mark Irons takes us to the Cheverly, Maryland suburbs - where young Christian families are moving to form intentional faith-filled community. As closing arguments for Jimmy Lai's trial began this week, Representative Chris Smith joins us in studio to discuss why he's fighting for the freedom of this pro-democracy media mogul. With students heading back to the classroom, Fr. Mike Schmitz tells us why he's so passionate about Catholic campus ministry.

Each week, EWTN News in Depth dedicates an hour to thoughtful conversation that goes beyond the headlines, examining the intersection of faith and daily life. Host Catherine Hadro guides these discussions, which are rooted in a Catholic worldview and address the stories that often don't get enough attention in the wider media cycle. The focus here is on providing clarity and context, whether the topic is a developing situation within the Church, a political debate with moral dimensions, or a cultural trend impacting communities. This isn't just about analysis from experts, though you'll hear that too; it's about connecting Church teaching to the practical questions and concerns of everyday believers. Tuning into this podcast means moving past soundbites to understand the deeper principles at play. The conversations aim to inform and equip the laity, offering a reliable perspective on complex issues. For those seeking a substantive, weekly engagement with current events through the lens of faith, EWTN News in Depth provides a consistent and thoughtful resource. It’s a space where the news is unpacked with both intelligence and a clear sense of what matters most to a living tradition.
