Protestantism has become so entangled with politics that to them, every election feels like an existential crisis.
But the Catholic Church has survived emperors, revolutions, persecutions, and the rise and fall of nations.
Our hope is not in political power. Our King is Jesus Christ, and His Church will remain long after every earthly kingdom has fallen.

Friendly reminder: It's daylight saving time, not daylight savings time. Consider this your semiannual grammar forecast. ⏰
I never envisioned our gov't issuing a travel advisory to France.
France: Violence and rioting, tied to ongoing protests, have recently occurred in France and may continue. The French government has indicated they will take steps to curb "illegitimate" protests, while those organized by groups such as trade unions would be allowed to proceed. Given the heightened concerns, avoid demonstrations and areas of unrest. Stay away from areas with large crowds or significant police activity. Numerous groups submitted plans for protests on Saturday, October 24. Americans in Paris for the NFL game on Sunday, October 25 should also exercise caution and be aware of their surroundings. While permits may be filed for demonstration routes, last-minute changes can happen and protests can occur outside planned routes. Recent demonstrations were violent and involved heavy property destruction, uncontrolled looting, and attacks on police. Police responded with crowd control methods including tear gas.
In Orléans, media report significant marches and protests planned for Saturday, October 24, and Sunday, October 25.
Curfews in parts of France, including some neighborhoods in Paris and the vicinity, might continue. Curfew decisions are made locally, can be implemented with short notice, and restrict gatherings and free movement to some public landmarks.

Oremos por nuestro amado Santo Padre, el Papa León XIV, que está a punto de someterse a una intervención quirúrgica.
Pidamos al Señor que la operación sea un éxito, que Dios Todopoderoso lo acompañe en todo momento, ilumine y guíe las manos de los cirujanos y le conceda una pronta y completa recuperación.
Que la Santísima Virgen María, Madre de la Iglesia, lo cubra con su manto maternal y lo proteja siempre.
¡Estamos con usted, Santo Padre!
#OremosPorLeónXIV 🙏🏻🇻🇦

Our prayers for the Holy Father. This is curable.
Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, the doctors found a small, localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well-localized. The doctors believe that it is best to intervene, so, following their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to remove it. The operation is already scheduled to take place in the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.

Deep in eastern Turkey, near the Iranian border, enormous stones stand as reminders of the story of Noah’s Ark.
Known as drogue stones, or anchor stones, these massive stones have large holes carved into their tops and distinctive cross-shaped markings across their surfaces.
According to the local tradition, these stones were used to anchor Noah’s Ark during the Flood, helping hold the enormous vessel steady through the waters.
Standing beside one of them makes the scale incredible to comprehend. These stones are massive.
And just beyond them, Mount Ararat rises over the landscape, the mountains where Scripture tells us the Ark came to rest.
This is eastern Turkey: a landscape filled with ancient traditions, extraordinary monuments, and connections to one of the most famous stories in history.
And when you stand here in person, the story comes to life.

Today we celebrate the birth of a little girl who would be called to become the Mother of her Creator, the Mother of God. Yet, she is born simply as a little girl, like the daughters and granddaughters we hold in our arms. We bestow upon her the most exalted and noble titles, such as Our Lady and Queen, but God’s way was and remains simpler and quieter, yet no less powerful and transformative. It is the way of Jesus Himself. #NativityOfMary

A Baptist pastor read 2 Thessalonians 2:15 from the pulpit.
Then he stopped.
He told the congregation to take out a pen, scratch one word out of their Bibles, and replace it with another.
Stewart never forgot it.
Watch this.
