On “EWTN News Nightly” tonight: A bipartisan bill making it possible for pregnant women to keep working is just a step away from Congressional approval. The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act was approved in the US House with more than 300 votes. It’s now in the Senate and its chief sponsor, Senator Bill Cassidy, says it’s close to getting the necessary votes. Meanwhile, a recent report studying US public school students in 4th and 8th grades, shows a near free-fall in post-pandemic test scores in math and reading. But that was not the case in the nation’s Catholic schools. CEO of the American Federation for Children, Tommy Schultz, discusses why even as test scores and enrollment levels rise in Catholic schools, that does not equate to financial stability. And there is high praise for the country of Taiwan for its efforts to preserve religious liberty. President of the International Religious Freedom Secretariat, Nadine Maenza, was in Taiwan and tells us more about her impressions. Finally this evening, Pope Francis praised the work of an Italian Catholic organization that is providing health care in Africa. Meeting the members of Doctors with Africa CUAMM late last week, the Holy Father urged them to continue giving a voice to those in Africa. Head of International Relations at Doctors with Africa CUAMM, Andrea Atzori, joins to share what Pope Francis told them during their meeting.
Don’t miss out on the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
