This week the Supreme Court took on a case centered on gender transition procedures for minors – Roselle Reyes reports from the High Court and we get analysis from Josh Payne, an attorney who represents detransitioners, and Theresa Farnan of the Ethics and Public Policy Center’s Person and Identity Project for a Catholic perspective on the issue. Pope Francis will be creating 21 new Cardinals this weekend with his tenth Consistory – we introduce you to some of the notable names and EWTN News Senior Vatican Analyst Francis X. Rocca speaks to Pope Francis’ influence on the College of Cardinals. For more than a century, farming in Nebraska has run in the Clark family blood – and so has the Catholic faith; Mark Irons reports from the cornhusker state. There’s been a renewed conversation about restoring “Meatless Fridays” – we speak with the Institute of Catholic Culture’s Fr. Hezekias Carnazzo about the long-held tradition in the Church and how to better embrace it this Advent.

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.

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.
