Bishop A. Elias Zaidan, a Lebanese Catholic prelate of the Maronite Church and chairman of the U.S. bishops’ Committee on International Justice and Peace, joins EWTN News to respond to the escalating conflict in the Middle East -- and reflects on the tragic death of Maronite priest Fr. Pierre al‑Rahi, who was killed in an Israeli strike. Catherine Hadro sits down with Dr. Paul McHugh, a 94-year-old esteemed Catholic psychiatrist who's been called a prophetic voice in the transgender debate. As the chief psychiatrist at Johns Hopkins Hospital for decades, he foresaw the collapse of gender transition surgeries for minors would begin with lawsuits from people who have detransitioned. He shares his thoughts on the trajectory of the transgender movement today — and how his Catholic faith gave him courage to speak up for truth along the way. Jessica Rose lived for years as a man, even undergoing surgery and hormone treatments, before a powerful encounter with the Gospel message. She opens up about her journey as someone who has detransitioned and her message to young people grappling with their gender identity today. As the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein continues, Mark Irons speaks exclusively with a New Mexico rancher whose family sold "Zorro Ranch" to Epstein years ago. It's a remote and isolated site near Santa Fe where some Epstein victims say they were abused and trafficked years ago. And we preview Colm Flynn's upcoming documentary about the life of the Church in Ireland - and how young people are reinvigorating the faith life, after being exacerbated by the clergy sex abuse crisis.

Hosted by Catherine Hadro, EWTN News In Depth welcomes guests in a discussion of current events in the Church, politics, and culture, all through the lens of the Catholic faith.
