The Catholic Defender At the 2016 Republican Convention At Cleveland Ohio
I began this journey basically from a challenge by one of our co-hosts on our Inside Politics series when Matthew Pryor of Troy Michigan spoke of possibly making it to the convention himself to support the Delegates. I thought about that as well and it was during one of our recent shows that I made the decision to make the trip from Madison Alabama to Cleveland Ohio. In order to make such a trip I was able to get leave time from work, that was huge, but I didn't want to g


The Catholic Defender: The Rosary, God's Beads Of Love
Johnny Cash wrote a song called, "Train of Love" which really has no connection with the Rosary other than the thought that these beads we use as a tool come from a position of love. Yet, the Rosary is a weapon of battle. Those who are faithful to the Rosary most of the time are more dedicated Catholics, that is my observation. The Bible speaks of spiritual warfare and certainly we are in the middle of it coming on just about every front of life. Our families are deeply

Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary,


The Catholic Defender: Hail Holy Queen
Hear, O daughter, consider, and incline your ear; forget your people and your father’s house; and the king will desire your beauty. Since he is your lord, bow to him; the people of Tyre will sue your favor with gifts, the richest of the people with all kinds of wealth. The princess is decked in her chamber with gold-woven robes; in many-colored robes she is led to the king, with her virgin companions, her escort, in her train. Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, o

The Catholic Defender: The Lord's Prayer, The Model Prayer For All
The most recognizable prayer of all time is the “Our Father”, the great example that Jesus offers to His followers when asked how they should pray. According to the Gospel of Luke 11:1-4, it states, “Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples.” He said to them, “When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name, your Kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread and forgive us our sins for we ourselves forgive everyone in debt to us, and do not subject us to


The Catholic Defender: The History of Lent
I left college in the winter of 1979, and moved south of Branson Missouri to Northern Arkansas to a nearby town, Harrison Arkansas. I would live there nearly five years before finally signing up with the United States Army. I recall one day in 1980, I received a phone call from a local resident of Harrison Arkansas who was not happy with my strong Catholic Faith. This Gentleman claimed to have been raised a Catholic, went to twelve years of Catholic school, but was now a pr
