Did Jesus merely preach a message… or did He deliberately found a visible Church to carry His authority to the ends of the earth? The Sword of Truth examines Scripture, Church history, science, the Church Fathers, and the hardest objections to Christianity and Catholicism with honesty and rigor. For seekers. For skeptics. For Catholics wanting to defend the Faith. Available now on Amazon & Kindle: amazon.ca/dp/B0H238XFTK “One Church. One Faith. One Truth.” #Catholic #Apologetics #ChurchHistory #BookTwitter

Sicily remains under Islamic rule until 1092. 846: Muslims invade Rome and force the Pope to pay tribute. 848: A third invasion of France occurs, and they are repelled for the third time. 909: Muslims occupy Sardinia. 937: The Church of the Holy Sepulcher is burned down by Muslims, and more churches in Jerusalem are destroyed. 1009: Destruction of the Church of the Resurrection in Jerusalem. 1012: Beginning of al-Hakim’s oppressive decrees against Christians. 1071: Turkish Muslims attack the Byzantines and occupy much of Anatolia. 1094: Byzantine emperor Alexios I Komnenos asks Western Christendom for help against Muslim Turkish invasions. 1095: Pope Urban II finally declares the First Crusade.

If you’re lost, your faith has been shaken, and you’d like to read it but can’t afford a copy right now — just send me a DM and I’ll gladly send you a free PDF. Saving souls and building strong foundations in faith is what truly matters.

My new book, The Sword of Truth, is now available on Amazon and Kindle. I wrote this book so my children would be equipped with the historical and theological arguments for the one true Church of Jesus Christ — the solid foundation I lacked in my own youth, so they may never go astray. But it is also for every wayward soul searching for their way home to the Shepherd’s flock. For those looking to defend the faith. For those seeking honest answers.

@rawsalerts Wonder why they don't want to ask Muslims?

@Catholingo The real presence of the Most Holy Eucharist. It is by far the most important for salvation.

What’s one Catholic teaching you wish more people understood?

Without a doubt. Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. ⁵⁴ Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. ⁵⁶ Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them.” John 6:53–56

Retweet if you believe that the Eucharist is the true body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Did you know that all the scientifically tested Eucharistic miracles contain AB blood type? What's even more amazing is that they all consist of tissue from the left ventricle of the heart. And to make it even more astounding, the blood matches that found on the Shroud of Turin and the Sudarium of Oviedo. If you haven't done a deep dive into these miracles, I'd highly recommend it.

It bleeds because the Eucharist is Jesus.

We were given free will, the free will to choose love or to sin. Our first parents fell in the garden, and we live today with the consequences of that fall. But like in the garden, we too are given the choice. How can we have the true choice to love if evil did not exist? This is how the wheat is separated from the tares. This life is full of trials. We were forewarned it would not always be easy, but for those who persevere, eternal life awaits.

Christians Only. Be honest. If God is good and sovereign, why does He allow suffering?

@Defensofidei St. Joseph

Catholic to Catholic: Who is your patron saint?

@MasterMaliq Do you believe in the Father though? Does Islam not condemn calling God the Father? (Quran 5:18, 112:3 Allah has no children.) Are you not slaves to the Islamic Allah?

I believe in the Father. I don’t believe in the Son or the Holy Spirit. Now tell me what I’m supposed to be called.🤔

@MasterMaliq Someone who is searching for the path in the darkness. Head to the light the Son provides to find the way.

I appreciate your honest curiosity, it's a great starting point for any real conversation. Christianity doesn't promise to erase trials or hand out worldly riches, life remains full of crosses for everyone. What it offers is something deeper and unique, a personal encounter with the living God who became man in Jesus Christ, who forgives our sins, heals our deepest wounds, and fills the emptiness nothing else can touch. Through His grace in the sacraments and prayer, He transforms our hearts from within, giving a peace that endures amid suffering, a clear purpose rooted in love, and the sure hope of eternal life with Him. It's not self improvement, it's union with the One who made us and who alone can satisfy the longing of the human heart.

Everyone keeps telling me to accept Christianity. Fine. Tell me what Christianity has to offer me that I can't get without becoming a Christian. What problem does it solve in my life today? I'm genuinely curious.

“One life is all we have, and we live it as we believe in living it.” Saint Joan of Arc

@Defensofidei I absolutely love the St. Michael Prayer. It gives me courage and strength when I’m facing difficult times, stepping up to a challenging task, or getting ready to share and defend the faith.

Catholic to Catholic: What is your best Catholic prayer? Me: O sacrament most holy, O sacrament Divine.

@ChristandGuitar True but that means Protestants definitely arent the one True Church.

Both the Roman Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodoxy claim to be the "one true church." This alone means one cannot be. Both appeal to an unbroken apostolic succession as proof, but again, it can't be true for both. Thread 🧵 👇🏻

I gave you a follow brother, would love a follow as well. I am a devoted Catholic who authored a book on the Catholic Faith specifically for my children, so they would have the doctrinal clarity and historical knowledge I lacked in my youth, equipping them to remain faithful to the one true Church established by Jesus Christ. I am committed to exposing the errors and evils of Islam while guiding souls, lost or misled, home to the Catholic Church.

If you’re a Catholic and love Catholic Spirituality (like rosary, particular saint or chaplet devo, etc) I want to follow you ♥️

@owenthcarey It depends really. If you feel called to defend faith, are strong in your faith and have a good grasp of the true teaching absolutely. But if you are young in faith, or dot have good foundations but, before studying other faiths, first you must learn your own.

Should Christians study other religions?

I have examples to, but they won't support your liberal narrative. My uncle went into the ER with a serious health emergency. He waited over 12 hours before he finally gave up and went home, where he died. I have more examples too. I had a brain tumor that was caught on a neck scan. I had to wait 9 months just to find out what it even was, and another 16 months to get in for surgery. The day after my brain surgery, they told me to go home because they didn’t have any bed space. I was young, so they figured I’d be fine, despite the doctors’ orders to stay for at least a week. A week later I went back in because I was leaking fluid from the wound. I waited 15 hours in the waiting room before they finally brought me in. I ended up staying 6 months after that because of the infection that developed, an infection that almost took my life due to their negligence.

@Kelsisheren I have another example too.

CANADA has the best healthcare in the world… as long as you don’t have to use it

@Kelsisheren Come on! What's wrong with having to wait 12+ hours for a serious health emergency, while you see crack head, drunks and immigrants with minor cough are prioritized before you.
