If the Gospel is freeing, life-giving, and good, why is it so hard? Don’t get me wrong. The Gospel, euangélion, “Good News,” is indeed good news. There is nothing better. Every sadness, all darkness, every suffering has an answer. It is only temporary….

Sexting, drugs, alcohol, cyber-bullying, teen suicide, rampant materialism, technology addiction, and me-first mindsets—the list of challenges to young people today can seem overwhelming. As parents of two sons, I feel like my wife and I are on t…

Today Sam and John are joined by an incredible Catholic man, professor, and author, Dr. Anthony Esolen. In his new book, “No Apologies: Why Civilization Depends on the Strength of Men”, he gets straight to the point from history, societal development, biology, and observation. He goes to the core of masculinity to return to men the joy of their manliness. We live in distorted times and this conversation is just scratching the surface of the truth that all men must understand.
The post Why Society Depends on Strong Men (w/ Anthony Esolen) appeared first on The Catholic Gentleman.

Today we discuss how the Catholic man must live simply. It is by rejecting consumerism and by turning away from more stuff that we open ourselves up to actually serve God’s will in our lives. Our earthly possessions call to us, what conversations are we allowing them to have with us? We go into statistics, social examples, and truths about how living simply is necessary for our service to God and others.

Today’s electronic communications have fragmented our world into myriad images and soundbites that can be reassembled to make anything seem real. That has made it a paradise for con-men, propagandists, and insane people. If you’re […]

In his Notes Towards the Definition of Culture (1948), T. S. Eliot writes that “all parties live in amity, so long as they accept some common moral conventions.” While that may seem rather general and somewhat overstated, it is […]

“Go into the whole world and preach the gospel to the whole creation.” I often find it a curious thing that God has entrusted His plan of salvation to the work of human hands. In order to shake-off my bewilderment, I remind myself about my relationship with my children. Why do I ask them to […]

I finally turned off my phone at 4 AM. I was awake, as usual, with our infant son, Auggie, and the only way I knew to pass the time in the dark was to scroll the news, however dreadful and deafening it was to my heart and soul—and to the world. Auggie is labeled a […]

“The Holy Spirit leads us like a mother, as a sighted person leads a blind person,” said St. John Vianney. Thinking of my three years living in Thailand, I resonate with that description. When my wife, toddler daughter and I moved to Bangkok in 2014, I did not intend to become an advocate for persecuted […]
