On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: At his weekly talk to pilgrims at the Vatican, Pope Francis recalled late Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI saying he always wanted to help people find Christ. Interim Executive Director of Catholic News Agency, Kelsey Wicks, joins to share what it's like right now at the Vatican and what is expected for the funeral tomorrow. EWTN News Nightly asked President Joe Biden what Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI meant to the President as a Catholic, and why he’s not attending the Pope’s funeral. Meanwhile, the US House continues to struggle over who will be the next speaker. Kevin McCarthy was hoping day 2 to get over the Speaker of the House finish line, but he is still more than a dozen votes short of reaching that 218 mark necessary to become Speaker. And as our 2,000 year old Catholic Church marches into the future, Pope Benedict's teachings leave a theological roadmap for the faithful. Doctor of Moral Theology and president of the Dominican House of Studies, Fr. Thomas Petri, joins with more on the life and legacy of the former Pope. Author of the book "Father Benedict: The Spiritual and Intellectual Legacy of Pope Benedict XVI," James Day, joins to tell us about the late Pope's desire to go by Father Benedict and the lessons we can all take from the late Pope's life.
