The Catholic Defender: Jesus Ascension begins the Office of the Papacy
This past Thursday was Ascension Thursday, which will be celebrated at Divine Mercy here in Gardner Kansas on Sunday, so I will write about it today on Thursday. About three years previously, Jesus began his public Ministry with being baptized by St. John the Baptist. “The spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me; He has sent me to bring glad tidings to the lowly, to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives and release to the pr


The Catholic Defender: The Last Four Things, Death, Judgment, Hell, Heaven
Pope St. Pius X once said, "All the strength of Satan's reign is due to the easy going weakness of Catholics". Pope Felix III once said, "Not to oppose error is to approve it; and not to defend truth is to suppress it, and indeed to neglect to confound evil men, when we can do it, is no less a sin than to encourage them". Pope Leo XIII once said, "To recoil before an enemy, or to keep silence when from all sides such clamors are raised against truth is the part of a man devoi


The Catholic Defender: The Apostle James (The Less) Suffered Martyrdom
St. James the Less is noted as "Less" to distinguish him from James, the brother of St. John and the son of Zebedee who is called James the "Greater". The reason being that James the Less was a younger man and age has it's rank and privilege. The better translation would be James the younger. Today's story is about James the Less who was the son of Cleopus (John 19:25) also known as Alphaeus, and Mary, a close relative of the Virgin Mary. James was a cousin of Jesus who


The Catholic Defender: St. Philip, Apostle and Friend Of Jesus Christ
St. Philip was one of the original twelve Apostles who grew up in Bethsaida on the Lake Genesareth (John 1:44). He was raised around the fishing industry and he was very close to the brothers Simon and Andrew the sons of Bar-Jona (House of Bar-Jona) and James and John who were the sons of Zebedee (Matthew 4:21). St. Philip as a boy learned the trade of a fisherman who spent most his early life fishing on the boats constructed for heavy catches. He was strong in his Jewish


The Catholic Defender: Be the Miracle, have your Oil Full, Be Ready
https://deepertruthdon.podbean.com/e/deepertruth-be-the-miracle-have-your-oil-full-be-ready/ Jesus told his disciples this parable: "The Kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones, when taking their lamps, brought no oil with them, but the wise brought flasks of oil with their lamps. Since the bridegroom was long delayed, they all became drowsy and fell

Come Holy Spirit and enkindle in us the fire of your love, send forth your spirit and we shall be created, and YOU shall renew the face of the earth. May the Holy Spirit Convict you and those you love and those that are put into the path of your life. Share this with all your loved ones and keep sharing.

The Catholic Defender: The Three Days Of Darkness and Catholic Prophecy
After being inspired by our Radio show with John Carpenter and Judy Alciatore, "Deepertruth: The Virgin Mary's Prophecies Concerning The Chastisement", I wanted to take a deeper look into what the Virgin Mary and the Saints have said about the subject matter. But I first place the biblical foundation. The following is taken from Exodus chapter 10:21-23, "Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward heaven that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, a

Illegal entries have plummeted, with some reporting a 93% drop in d


The Catholic Defender: Doc Holliday of the OK Coral, Catholic Convert
Recently, I was honored to see actor Stephen Keith give a presentation on Doc Holliday and the story behind him. Stephen Keith is really an authority on the subject as he has been portraying Doc Holliday for 35 years. When you are looking at the lives of those who lived in the old West like Doc Holliday, we recall the famous gun battles like the OK Coral in Tombstone Arizona. Tombstone is a classic example of how the West was lived. While I was visiting there, I had the op
