On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: The Biden Administration is facing a series of setbacks in Texas. A judge refused to block a new pro-life law and thousands of migrants are overwhelming the border patrol, which was already stretched thin. Meanwhile, General Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff, defended the calls he made without former President Donald Trump's knowledge, assuring the Chinese general that the US would not attack China. Director of Policy and Government Affairs at the American Principles Project, Jon Schweppe, joins to share his thoughts on General Milley's comments and the situation overall. On Saturday at the Vatican, there will be a meeting of former theology students of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. The group has met at the end of each summer, since 2008. Director of EWTN Germany, Martin Rothweiler, joins to tell us more about the symposium. And from fighting for religious liberties in the Middle East, to standing up for the unborn on pro-life issues, Catholic Congressman Jeff Fortenberry shares how he looks at service as an extension of his faith. Finally this evening, a Catholic University in the Holy Land has opened a new nursing building. The $5 million building is considered a beacon of hope for the region.
