Hurricane Helene has become the deadliest storm to hit the U.S. mainland since Hurricane Katrina – we are joined by Charlotte Diocese’s Bishop Michael Martin, Knoxville Diocese’s Bishop Mark Beckman, and St. Petersburg Diocese’s Bishop Gregory Parkes to hear how the Catholic Church is serving those who have been hardest hit. Israel expands its operations in Lebanon – we discuss the intensifying conflict with human rights activist Dr. Habib Malik from his home in Beirut. Vice presidential candidates JD Vance and Tim Walz were center stage this week for their one-and-only debate – Mark Irons reports on what stood out and The Free Press’ associate editor Madeleine Kearns and writer Leah Libresco Sargeant join us for Catholic analysis on debate topics ranging from abortion to child-tax credits and beyond. Pope Francis opened the second assembly of the Synod on Synodality in Rome this week – EWTN News’ Editorial Director Dr. Matthew Bunson reports with the details. And Roselle Reyes goes on the road with a Catholic photographer determined to take photos of every Catholic cathedral and basilica in the U.S.

The dilemna over the babies born after a botched abortion, lights up the conceptual problems with the current ideas that somehow abortion is okay. The Catholic position doesn't have such conceptual problems, and whilst it might be hard to stomach, as appearing as an extreme anti-abortion stance, it does seem to make better conceptual sense on many levels. Reminds me of the quote "The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried".
