Is The Roman Catholic Church The True Church?

Over 1 billion people in our day believe Roman Catholicism is the one Facts 10: There is no church office of Pope. Therefore, the alleged

So what is the “rock”? It goes back to Peter’s confession about Jesus’

Even Peter viewed himself as a fellow elder, like those he addressed (1 Pet.

the PRECIOUS Lord Jesus, which will get you into Paradise after death.
Facts 6: How could Paul not be behind the chiefest of the apostles (2 Cor.

News
resigns
BY P AUL F ARHI
AND S ARAH E LLISON

Shepard Smith, one of Fox

News’s leading anchors and a fre-
quent target of President Trump,
abruptly stepped down from the
network on Friday, departing with
little explanation after 23 years on
the air.
Smith, Fox News’s chief news
anchor and host of its afternoon
news program “Shepard Smith
Reporting,” said the decision to
leave was his own but gave no
further reason for his resignation.
He signed off with a brief state-
ment, surprising even his col-
leagues. Fox News said Friday’s
program would be Smith’s last.
Smith has been at Fox News
since its founding in 1996 and is
one of its signature figures. He was
among the first people hired by
Fox News’s co-founder, the late
Roger Ailes, for the network’s
launch. His recent tenure, howev-
er, has been marked by conflict
and criticism, not just from Presi-
dent Trump but from within the
network itself.
The internal tensions at Fox
News appear to have contributed
to his resignation, according to
multiple people at the network
and those close to Smith who
spoke to The Washington Post for
this story. Smith was also in the

HOROSCOPE

BIRTHDAY | OCTOBER 12
This year, you take
a strong stand. At
times, you could be
very emotional and
touchy. You will not hesitate
to take action if you deem it
necessary. Others might not
appear to listen, but they are
aware of your thoughts. If
single, you could have several
wannabe sweeties. Enjoy the
process of choosing. Your
DILBERT SCOTT ADAMS JUDGE PARKER FRANCESCO MARCIULIANO & MIKE MANLEY relationships could be volatile
in general. Expect some ups
and downs. If attached, the
two of you go through your
share of ups and downs too.
Refuse to be overly dramatic.
Just consider this period to be
akin to a passage. Everything
could change quickly. ARIES
can be unusually pushy at
times.
ARIES
(MARCH 21-APRIL 19).
You might seem to be
dragging, but you also are
quite feisty. Nearly anything
could provoke your temper.
FRAZZ JEF MALLETT CANDORVILLE DARRIN BELL
Do not allow someone else to
interfere with a pet project.
Know that you are volatile
and determined. Others will
receive that message soon!
TAURUS
(APRIL 20-MAY 20).
Decide to keep your own
counsel at present. What you
hear could be irritating and
somewhat of a trigger. You
might do the unexpected,
starting a conversation -- if
not more. Your gentleness
emerges.
GARFIELD JIM DAVIS BARNEY AND CLYDE WEINGARTENS & CLARK GEMINI
(MAY 21-JUNE 20).
Zero in on your friends and
long-term desires. Your
temper could come out when
dealing with a friend who can
be irritating at times. The
unexpected might shake you
and others up. Know that this
will pass.
CANCER
(JUNE 21-JULY 22).
Reach out for someone
whose opinion you respect.
Though a conversation might
not go as you anticipate,
DUSTIN STEVE KELLEY & JEFF PARKER THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN STAN LEE & ALEX SAVIUK recognize the importance
of your perspective. Do not
undervalue yourself.
LEO
(JULY 23-AUG. 22).
You like to think you take
the high road. However, your
temper might be a driving
force in your decisions if you
are not careful. Curb your
wildness and out-of-control
actions.
VIRGO
(AUG. 23-SEPT. 22).
One-on-one relating echoes
distress from others, not
PRICKLY CITY SCOTT STANTIS LOOSE PARTS DAVE BLAZEK necessarily with you. You could
see some wild actions as well
as acting out yourself. News
heads your way that forces you
to take a second look at what
is happening.
LIBRA
(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22).
Defer to others and be
aware of their interests. Are
they the same as yours?
Emotions seem to eradicate
communication or civil
behavior in general. What
is said or done has been
suppressed for a long time.
NON SEQUITUR WILEY BABY BLUES RICK KIRKMAN & JERRY SCOTT SCORPIO
(OCT. 23-NOV. 21).
Pace yourself, knowing not
only what you must do, but
also what could be tossed
on your plate. Others seem
unusually emotional; you
could find yourself in a similar
mental frame.
SAGITTARIUS
(NOV. 22-DEC. 21).
Your sense of humor could
save the day -- at least for you.
What might be going on could
trigger your creativity. Anger
might seem to come from
BIG NATE LINCOLN PEIRCE ON THE FASTRACK BILL HOLBROOK nowhere and greet you.
CAPRICORN
(DEC. 22-JAN. 19).
You feel good sharing your
feelings, even negative ones.
You will get results because
of your high energy. A child
could surprise you with his
or her mood. Do not take it
personally.
AQUARIUS
(JAN. 20-FEB. 18).
Stay on top of what is
happening around you. The
phone calls you receive could
display a variety of emotional
BEETLE BAILEY MORT, BRIAN & GREG WALKER PEARLS BEFORE SWINE STEPHAN PASTIS highs and lows. You could
be jolted by the reaction of
someone close to you.
PISCES
(FEB. 19-MARCH 20).
Expenses seem to go to
extremes. Feelings easily
could burst out of control. Try
to choose your words with
care and avoid triggering
others. You could hear another
person’s rampage.

Texas seems like the natural pick in its annual Red River rivalry game
with Oklahoma: Longhorns Coach Tom Herman has thrived as an
underdog (going 13-3-1 against the spread over his career in that
situation), and Texas has covered six straight regular season games
against the Sooners, all of them as an underdog. (They’re getting about
10 points Saturday.) Plus, the Longhorns probably have the best defense
Oklahoma has seen this season. But they also have given up 23 passing
plays of at least 20 yards (tied for 112th nationally), and the Sooners are
tied for 10th in the nation with 28 such plays on offense. Kansas did a
pretty good job slowing quarterback Jalen Hurts’s third straight Oklahoma
Heisman Trophy-quarterback march by limiting the Sooners to 21 first-half
points last week with a defensive package that tried to rattle Hurts with
disguised blitzes. Expect the Longhorns to follow that road map.

COVER STORY

Tips from
art lovers on
enhancing
the value of
your house
Displaying works can be the finishing
touch for a big sale or a forever home
BY A UDREY H OFFER • P HOTOS BY B ILL O ’L EARY

Art helps make a sale.

Everyone has an opinion about what clinched the
deal.
For Christine Neptune, a collector and co-owner of
Gallery Neptune & Brown, “it was the art that sold the
apartment. Other than that my tiny New York studio
was a small white box. The interior came alive
because of the art.”
“Art creates the impression of a more valuable
home. If you think about a beautifully designed home
with strong architecture, you can appreciate it for
what it is, but without art it’s not finished. It’s missing
an important component. Art rounds out the impres-
sion of living there,” said Theo Adamstein, a sales
associate with TTR Sotheby’s International Realty.
Art can enhance the value of the house but a real
estate agent can’t pinpoint a number or percentage.
“It doesn’t work like that,” Adamstein said. “You
can’t say by how much because that implies there’s a
formula and if you spend a certain amount then the
house goes up a certain amount. Art embellishes a
home, it adds to a home’s character, it adds color and
rhythm and makes it more interesting than it may
otherwise be, and that absolutely adds value.”
Art in homes
