The TV adaptation of Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol on Peacock has come to an end and, while it had managed not to offend Christians for most of the season, being based on a Brown novel, it couldn’t help itself in the season finale.

In light of the state banning abortions once an unborn baby’s heartbeat can be detected in September, The Washington Post published two articles this week that profiled Texas women who run Christian, pro-life charities. To many pro-lifers, it was surprising and welcome coverage of the good works of a crisis pregnancy center and a maternity ranch, Catholic and evangelical, respectively…

It sounded like a scripture study on CNN's New Day as Never Trumper David Frum quoted the prophet Isaiah in urging Americans to fight back against Trump. "Whom shall I send?" said the Lord. Isaiah said "Send me!"

ABC’s new drama Queens has really had it out for Christians and the Catholic Church since its premiere. Apparently, the show’s writers really dislike Christian “restrictions.” You know, the ones that God Himself created for us and outlined in the Bible. But leave it to liberal Hollywood to think they know better than God.

The Washington Post predictably put a puff piece on a "non-binary" teenage witch on the front page of the Halloween Sunday paper under the headline "Inside the practices of a teenage witch: Young Americans are seeking spirituality and higher truth -- outside of institution and scripture."

On New Day, CNN religion commentator Father Edward Beck says President Biden and Pope Francis share solidarity because both have been "maligned" by "neo-conservative factions." Chris Cuomo claims he, unlike Donald Trump, has never changed positions on moral questions. In fact, as a senator he described himself as having "strong convictions against abortion..."

The host of CNN Newsroom could hardly contain himself Friday as he gushed over President Biden and the Pope as "the liberal wing of the Catholic Church" and hailed them as great Christians and humanitarians. Jim Sciutto asked "Are they a formidable partnership" for global action on climate, COVID, and poverty?

On Wednesday, National Review’s Brittany Bernstein reported on how White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki “bristled on Wednesday when a reporter asked if President Biden, who is Catholic and pro-abortion, will discuss ‘the human dignity of the unborn’ when he meets with Pope Francis later this week.”

A new network series that uses Christianity to push gay and polygamous lifestyles while condemning Christians as holier-than-thou bigots? How original!

CBS’s atheist comedy Young Sheldon took yet another swing at its favorite target, Christianity, on Thursday’s episode, “Snoopin' Around and the Wonder Twins of Atheism.” And while there’s nothing funny about painting Christian believers as clueless fools and God as cruel and fictitious, an opportunity to disparage Christianity always trumps comedy when it comes to this show.

On CNN's New Day, co-host John Berman taunted Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for signing an executive order banning vaccine mandates, "severely limiting the freedom of businesses to make their own choices." Does anyone remember Berman, or any CNNer, criticizing CA Gov. Newsom for backing and signing a law ordering big-box stores to create "gender-neutral" toy aisles? 

Washington -- I have been in London visiting old friends, keeping up with changes in our alliance system -- among which were last week's developments in the alliance of the English-speaking peoples called Aukus -- and going to church. Yes, church! Seriously, I am at that age when I hear Him calling. I have actually been at that age for a while now, but in recent years, His calls have become…
