In response to countless requests, Ascension is launching The Catechism in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz) on January 1, 2023! tinyurl.com/29o6p2o4
With this podcast, Catholics will:
- Read the entire Catechism of the Catholic Church in 365 days
- Understand the essentials of the Catholic Faith and why they matter
- See how Church teaching is rooted in Sacred Scripture
- Absorb over 2,000 years of Sacred Tradition
- Encounter God’s plan of sheer goodness
- Transform their relationship with the Church that Christ founded.
If you have ever wanted to understand what it means to be Catholic and allow those truths to shape your life-this podcast is for you! We can’t wait to start this incredible journey with you.
This podcast is free and always will be. It is only because of the generosity of our listeners that we have been able to consider tackling such a monumental project. But, we have limited resources. With funding from generous supporters like you, we can do even more than simply create the podcast: tinyurl.com/25skzc83
Above all, please pray for Father Mike, the Ascension team, and every single person who will ever listen to this podcast. Thank you, and God bless you.

I'm trying to convert from atheism to Catholicism and father, your Bible in a year podcast have been a great help. Can't wait for the new one that you'll be announcing soon. Love and respect from S.Korea. + Thank you for the encouraging words brothers and sisters. I think my poor English have confused all of you and I'm sorry about that. But I'm already convinced that God actually exists and decided to go to Roman Catholic Church. About RCIA, I'm about to get drafted into S.Korean military so even if I start learning in my local church now I won't be able to finish it in time. But fortunately the Church agreed to dedicate 10% of each diocese's priests to military parish, so I'm planning to get baptized after I get deployed. Again, I appreciate all the encouragements, I can't wait to serve my country and my Lord.

I agree. Father Mike is inspiring. Without even knowing it, he got me more involved in the Bible and my faith. I always have believed, but I think when he directs us or shows me something.. it resonates for me. It feels like it's right. I would put the Bible and Church on the back burner and not really think about for sort of a long time. Also having people like you and others to "dialogue" with helps too. The lot of you are good people.

WHO IN THE WORLD CARES how many Catholic resources there are? All of it belongs in the nearest city dump based on the fact that the RCC is a non-prophet organization. Specifically, the catechism quotes the Council of Trent (which claimed to be guided by the Holy Spirit TWICE in their decree on the Eucharist) and states that the Catholic religion may be SUMMARIZED in one sentence --which, as will be shown, just happens to be a lie. I've mentioned this on other of his videos, but of course, he is speechless. So buckle your seat belts. Notice the words in caps... “Christ our Redeemer SAID that it was TRULY his body he was OFFERING [in sacrifice at the Last Supper] ...." (CCC 1376). Aside from the fact it is point blank, flatly unbiblical to assert that Christ "offered himself in sacrifice at the Last Supper BEFORRRRRE he went to the cross" (CCC 621), the worse error is to misquote Jesus Christ who DID NOT SAY that the bread was "TRUUUUUUULY" his body. He said, "This is my body", period, not that the bread was "TRUUUULY" his body. Obviously, the magisterium felt the biblical account was inadequate to stand on its own, and so in reaction to the Reformers, they stuck a word in Christ's mouth to force their position down the gullible laity's throats pretending the Holy Spirit was guiding them. NONSENSE. Now the fact is, the words, "This is" are shown to be metaphorical by at least 50 examples throughout the biblical record, whereas papal pundits simply ASSERT, without a scrap of evidence, that Jesus was speaking literally! If they want to risk their souls on that (since those VERY WORDS they MISQUOTE Jesus as saying actually SUMMARIZE their whole life's existence!), then so be it. We have warned them. As a result of their being guilty of adding to the word of God, all claims for infallibility come tumbling down, not to mention anything they say about the Eucharist is to be rejected as well. Now the fact is, it is up to the Christian to decipher the Lord's meaning FROM THE TEXT, and not from the circus of Catholic apologetic clowns who came after it. Hence, based on the fact Jesus is gravely concerned about the sanctity of his word down to the last “jot and tittle” (Matt 5:18), that one, single gross addition to the word of God (namely, "TRULY") is like a flashing neon sign that ANY non-catholic explanation regarding the words "This is"... should be preferred over and against what the Pope has to say. Therefore, Transubstantiation is unsubstantiated and unsustainable due to the council claiming to be infallible, but in fact, have been found to be liars (Rev 2:2; cf: Deut 18:22, Jer 23:30-40, Ezekiel 13:1-7). It is promised in those passages that all who recklessly wag their tongues by asserting, “The Lord says”, (when the Lord did not say), will be swiftly cast out of his presence (cf. Jeremiah 14:14, 23:16-21). Since CCC 1376 is biblically bankrupt, yet decreed by a supposedly “infallible” council (CCC 888-892) the case for Transubstantiation and Infallibility falls flat and Catholicism is instantly exposed as a “non-prophet” organization (Eph 5:11).

Lo and behold, next day I check on my phone and see you announced this. I was literally over the moon excited and happy. Thank you Fr. Mike and the Ascension Presents team, God bless!

@@teemarks8527 Thank you so much. My son lost his wife 5yrs ago and his dog & God have been his stronghold. We were into town Tuesday thinking he was going to have to put her down. However the Vet said if it is what he thinks it is she can be saved and live a good pain free life. She is 9yrs old and solid muscle like her owner. The Vet said she could easily live to be 13yrs old. Wed's test will hopefully confirm this. Then it will be constructing a new knee tendon which will make the dog as good as new after her rehab. This Vet is very honest and if he was convinced it wouldn't work he would tell you to put her down. It is costly, but he is giving us a huge price cut because we have been with him since 1996 with various pets. Thank you for your prayers and please keep praying that everything will turn out. I will let you know tomorrow one way or the other.

But I'd like to actually finish this time around, and you as our guide is an answer to prayer! May God bless your work in this.

It is, it simply is difficult, to live the life we are called to, as evident in the ancient narratives in the bible to this very day in the 21st century. But, it is safe to say, that anybody who is reading this comment, is surely trying their best to live a life that is pleasing to the Lord. It is a blessing to come across platforms like this in our church, making use of digital technology to connect us and spread the Good word. And so, I am always praying for the church to grow deeper into God's love and spread that resounding love to the world. My prayers are with all of you. May God's blessings and guidance be upon us always. Amen.

Your being "SOOOO EXCITED" over Catholicism only proves you are 100% deluded due to Catholicism fitting the bill as a "non-prophet" organization. Specifically, the catechism quotes the Council of Trent (which claimed to be guided by the Holy Spirit TWICE in their decree on the Eucharist) and states that the Catholic religion may be SUMMARIZED in one sentence --which, as will be shown, just happens to be a lie. I've mentioned this on other of his videos, but of course, he is speechless. So buckle your seat belts. Notice the words in caps... “Christ our Redeemer SAID that it was TRULY his body he was OFFERING [in sacrifice at the Last Supper] ...." (CCC 1376). Aside from the fact it is point blank, flatly unbiblical to assert that Christ "offered himself in sacrifice at the Last Supper BEFORRRRRE he went to the cross" (CCC 621), the worse error is to misquote Jesus Christ who DID NOT SAY that the bread was "TRUUUUUUULY" his body. He said, "This is my body", period, not that the bread was "TRUUUULY" his body. Obviously, the magisterium felt the biblical account was inadequate to stand on its own, and so in reaction to the Reformers, they stuck a word in Christ's mouth to force their position down the gullible laity's throats pretending the Holy Spirit was guiding them. NONSENSE. Now the fact is, the words, "This is" are shown to be metaphorical by at least 50 examples throughout the biblical record, whereas papal pundits simply ASSERT, without a scrap of evidence, that Jesus was speaking literally! If they want to risk their souls on that (since those VERY WORDS they MISQUOTE Jesus as saying actually SUMMARIZE their whole life's existence!), then so be it. We have warned them. As a result of their being guilty of adding to the word of God, all claims for infallibility come tumbling down, not to mention anything they say about the Eucharist is to be rejected as well. Now the fact is, it is up to the Christian to decipher the Lord's meaning FROM THE TEXT, and not from the circus of Catholic apologetic clowns who came after it. Hence, based on the fact Jesus is gravely concerned about the sanctity of his word down to the last “jot and tittle” (Matt 5:18), that one, single gross addition to the word of God (namely, "TRULY") is like a flashing neon sign that ANY non-catholic explanation regarding the words "This is"... should be preferred over and against what the Pope has to say. Therefore, Transubstantiation is unsubstantiated and unsustainable due to the council claiming to be infallible, but in fact, have been found to be liars (Rev 2:2; cf: Deut 18:22, Jer 23:30-40, Ezekiel 13:1-7). It is promised in those passages that all who recklessly wag their tongues by asserting, “The Lord says”, (when the Lord did not say), will be swiftly cast out of his presence (cf. Jeremiah 14:14, 23:16-21). Since CCC 1376 is biblically bankrupt, yet decreed by a supposedly “infallible” council (CCC 888-892) the case for Transubstantiation and Infallibility falls flat and Catholicism is instantly exposed as a “non-prophet” organization (Eph 5:11).

Oh? You prayed about going through the catechism, huh? Well it looks like your prayers were answered, as I will prove to you, BY THE CATECHISM, that Catholicism is a "non-prophet" organization. Specifically, the catechism quotes the Council of Trent (which claimed to be guided by the Holy Spirit TWICE in their decree on the Eucharist) and states that the Catholic religion may be SUMMARIZED in one sentence --which, as will be shown, just happens to be a lie. I've mentioned this on other of his videos, but of course, he is speechless. So buckle your seat belts.

Father about knocked me off my chair in one of his short homilies when he said something to the effect, '"Do not worry if you don't know what God wants you to do (your purpose...because God speaks with clarity. He will ask and you will know. If you don't know, be at peace because He won't expect something out of you that He has not asked of you." Pretty simple. Be at peace --we'll know when it is time. I have paraphrased this... but man, that is powerful. You will know what you are supposed to do---because He will ask--and He will tell you." No guessing . Be at peace with that for now... God doesn't hide the ball on people.
