Gina Christian of OSV News catches you up on the Catholic news of the day for Feb. 26, 2025. In this episode:  Oklahoma's Catholic bishops are applauding yesterday's Supreme Court decision to throw out the death penalty murder conviction of Richard Glossip over dubious testimony. A major new study from Pew Research shows the nation's decline in Christianity has temporarily stabilized, but long-term trends indicating a continued downturn remain. Pope Francis continues his treatment for severe respiratory illness at Rome's Gemelli hospital, with his condition no longer specifically described by the Vatican as "critical," but his prognosis still "guarded." In Israel, tens of thousands mourned as slain hostage Shiri Bibas and her two children were laid to rest. Illinois Catholic bishops and pro-life advocates are speaking out against that state's efforts to legalize physician-assisted suicide. Tune in and visit us at osvnews.com.
