On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: Welcoming new German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to the Oval Office, President Joe Biden told reporters, “Germany is one of America’s closest allies…” as both leaders sat down to discuss Ukraine and the worrisome and feared buildup of over 100,000 Russian troops near the border. It's been nearly 2 months since Democratic Senator Joe Manchin said he would not support that $5 trillion dollar Build Back Better Act. Now, Congressional Democrats want to bring it back in smaller pieces. Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, Joel Griffith, joins to talk about the possibility of a reduced Build Back Better package, with a smaller price tag. Meanwhile, the Vatican's global gathering, called the Synod on Synodality, does not take place until next year, but the preparations are well underway. The preparations have started with officials seeking input at the local level. EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief, Andreas Thonhauser, joins to tell us more about this update. Finally this evening, a former Anglican bishop is now a member of the Catholic Church. Peter Forster, the former Anglican Bishop of Chester, was received into the Catholic Church in Scotland last year. Europe Editor of Catholic News Agency, Luke Coppen, joins to discuss what is drawing former Anglican leaders to the Catholic faith and whether he expects it to continue.
