A Roman Catholic Pope in America

___I am a Protestant because I share the belief of Martin Luther and many millions since that the Roman Catholic Church had perverted the Word.

___The Pope does not speak authoritatively on any subject - spiritual or other. He is certainly not an expert on science or economics. He gets respect only because he is the elected head of the Roman Catholic Church with about a billion people worldwide. If he fails to challenge our President - or any other - on abortion or same-sex marriage, then he represents RCC positions poorly and cowardly.

Tragedy in Mecca, Saudi Arabia

A Bin Laden construction crane collapses, kills 107 on 9/11 anniversary SEPTEMBER 11, 2015:

A massive crane collapsed and killed at least 107 people at the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, as the heavy equipment came crashing down on Friday worshipers.

The number of injured has risen to 238, according to Saudi authorities.

“Extreme weather” is the likely cause of the collapse, authorities said, with heavy rain, lightning strikes and high winds hitting the Muslim holy city on Friday about 6:30 p.m. Saudi time, just before the start of Friday prayers.

It is important that Christians recognize this as a tragedy and not celebrate like the infidels. These dead Muslim pilgrims will spend eternity in the lake of fire separated from the true God!

Marines at the Pentagon on 9/11

A chaplain, who happened to be assigned to the Pentagon, told of an incident that never made the news.

A daycare facility inside the Pentagon had many children, including infants who were in heavy cribs. The daycare supervisor, looking at all the children they needed to evacuate, was in a panic over what they could do. There were many children, mostly toddlers, as well as the infants that would need to be taken out with the cribs. There was no time to try to bundle them into carriers and strollers. Just then a young Marine came running into the center and asked what they needed. After hearing what the center director was trying to do, he ran back out into the hallway and disappeared. The director thought, "Well, here we are, on our own."

About 2 minutes later, that Marine returned with 40 other Marines in tow. Each of them grabbed a crib with a child, and the rest started gathering up toddlers. The director and her staff then helped them take all the children out of the center and down toward the park near the Potomac.

Once they got about 3/4 of a mile outside the building, the Marines stopped in the park, and then did a fabulous thing - they formed a circle with the cribs, which were quite sturdy and heavy, like the covered wagons in the Old West. Inside this circle of cribs, they put the toddlers, to keep them from wandering off. Outside this circle were the 40 Marines, forming a perimeter around the children and waiting for instructions. There they remained until the parents could be notified and come get their children.

The chaplain then said, "I don't think any of us saw nor heard of this on any of the news stories of the day. It was an incredible story of our men there. There wasn't a dry eye in the room. The thought of those Marines and what they did and how fast they reacted; could we expect any less from them? It was one of the most touching stories from the Pentagon. It's the military, not the politicians that ensures our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It's the military who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag.
