U.S. Bishops Pushing Gun Control

September 10th, 2026 - Happy feast of St. Nicholas of Tolentino! A planned memorial at Utah Valley University on the one-year anniversary of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s assassination has already sparked student protests. Students for a Democratic Society said that the university's approval of the memorial provides endorsement to the political and moral views of Turning Point USA. Nearly 45,000 people are expected to attend Ven. Fulton Sheen’s beatification in St. Louis, MO. Tickets are still available. Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) crossed party lines yesterday to address Republicans at the GOP’s midterm convention in Dallas, Texas, describing himself as a “common-sense Democrat” who rejects socialism and anti-American extremism.

Louisiana argues that the FDA’s rules currently allow out-of-state abortionists to violate Louisiana’s laws. President Trump said that he would offer every adult American a $5000 payout if Republicans win both chambers of Congress in the November midterms. It’s a plan that would cost $1.3 Trillion.  Rise Right is a live morning program hosted by Sarah Cain & Jakob Martin Kraft, designed to help Catholics begin their day grounded in faith, clarity, and peace.
