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: 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

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


The Catholic Defender: The Importance Of The Holy Grail And The Blood Of Christ
Passover, April 9, 32 A.D. (John 6:4), Jesus lifted up his eyes recognizing a great multitude takes two fish and five barley loaves feeding 5,000 men not counting women and children and afterwards, gathered up twelve baskets of leftover fragments. Following this great sign, that evening, Jesus walks on the water (sea of Capernaum) and when he got into the boat, the boat miraculously was on dry land (John 6:21). Two great signs in one recorded incidence. On April 10, 32 A


The Catholic Defender: The Easter Vigil reminds me of Oscar Wilde Receiving God’s Mercy
After writing an article on President George Washington, a Facebook friend of mine responded to the article telling me that Washington’s apparent conversion story was like that of Oscar Wilde, a famed writer and play producer. I thought that was interesting as I had not read anything about Oscar Wilde but I did find that he was received into the Catholic Faith on his death bed. That is the good news, so as I looked at the Oscar Wilde story, how he lived his life, I began to
