First ever Rosary I’ve made- for my son’s bday this month

It’s def not perfect but I love the way it turned out. Especially because I still don’t have all the tools so I had to make shift with what I had.
I love smaller, more compact, heavy beaded rosary’s. I hope he likes it.

Conservatorship or guardianship: severely mentally ill sibling

Long, long story short, I have an extremely mentally ill sibling suffering from bipolar type 2 and borderline personality disorder. She is 40 years old and incapable of basic care for herself and does not have custody of her 3 children. She has been very mentally ill since her teenage years.

We have tried to help her tirelessly through the years but now she is sleeping 2-3 days at a time and cannot keep up with basic care of herself. Hygiene, brushing her hair etc. She cannot keep jobs, lives hand to mouth, has never been able to keep a place to live etc. She also seems extremely over medicated now. Previous drug use but now medication is “managed.”

I could go on and on about the issues but I would appreciate general advice to start proceedings for declaring her mentally incompetent? She may need to be in a home where she can be cared for 100% of the time, mainly because no one in our family is willing to deal with her any longer. I would like to be able to make medical decisions on her behalf, also housing, finances (she has nothing) etc. She will not file for disability because she won’t follow through with the steps.

Advice is appreciated. State is Louisiana.

Is it inherently wrong to watch pastors such as PAM as a Catholic? I am 100% cradle/practicing Catholic, but I am intrigued by his preaching. This is normally in passing- snippets I see on social media, but his passion is infectious.

I feel like this is wrong and struggle with guilt because Catholicism is everything to me, and I am so blessed with our parish Priest. I consume a ton of Catholic content online and have no doubts, but I seem to always stop to listen to his message.

Is there a stance the Church takes with this that I am unaware of? Should this be something to avoid?
