In the final week before the midterm elections in the U.S., new polling reveals positive news in the life-related ballot initiatives in Idaho and Missouri.

Plus the Vatican announces Pope Leo will take his trip to Latin America as scheduled early next month despite his recent surgery for lung cancer. A preview of the vastly different cultures of life he will encounter in Uruguay, Argentina and Peru. Two longtime friends and Catholic bioethicists debate whether it is ethical to adopt frozen embryos. A new book examines the collected writings on wisdom, suffering and life issues from EWTN foundress Mother Angelica.
