EWTN News In Depth: Ukraine-Russia War Marks 1,000 Days, One Catholic Boarding School’s Unique Education

Author: EWTN November 23, 2024 Duration: 57:58
On the 1,000th day of war, Ukraine hits targets inside Russia with a U.S.-made missile system - we speak with Archbishop Borys Gudziak of the Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia about the latest war developments and to hear how the faithful in Ukraine are maintaining their faith. The daughter of an elderly hostage still being held by Hamas, Sharone Lifschitz, shares details about her Vatican meeting with Pope Francis and her message to the Holy Father. Mark Irons sits down with Bishop William Byrne, the new USCCB Communications Chair, to discuss how lay Catholics are called to communicate Christ to the world in the modern era. Alan Holdren introduces us to St. Martin’s Academy, a Catholic boys boarding school in Kansas that uses nature to teach boys how to become good and faithful men. And during this National Adoption Month, Dr. Ray Guarendi shares his perspective on adoption – both as an adoptive father of 10 himself and as Catholic clinical psychologist.

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.
