Author: EWTN October 19, 2024 Duration: 55:24
This Election Day, Nebraska is the only state with competing abortion-related measures on the ballot – Mark Irons takes us to Nebraska to hear how the Church is working to disentangle abortion misinformation and Human Coalition Action’s Chelsey Youman speaks to what’s at stake with pro-life ballot initiatives across 10 states. Ireland recently released a wide-ranging report from the Irish government alleging more than 2,300 instances of abuse across 308 schools – Colm Flynn speaks with survivors and the Archbishop of Dublin in a special report from Ireland. From the Ireland investigation – to the Archdiocese of Los Angeles’ historic settlement with clerical sex abuse survivors this week – The Catholic Project’s Stephen White discusses what the Catholic Church has done and needs to do more of to provide safeguards against abuse. And we give you an inside look at the Vatican’s restored baldacchino in St. Peter’s Basilica.

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.
