otaylor+FollowBaton Rouge’s Wild Year in FaithBaton Rouge’s faith scene in 2025 was anything but quiet. Jimmy Swaggart’s passing at 90 made global headlines, but that was just the start. We saw a wave of retirements, new pastors stepping up, and even a pastor fired over pronouns. Churches expanded, celebrated centennials, and the Catholic diocese granted a rare Mass dispensation due to immigration fears. So much drama, resilience, and change—who knew church news could be this eventful? #Religion #BatonRouge #FaithNews00Share
