Manly Catholic: Igniting Men to Light the World on Fire

In this episode,  Fr. Dom and James begin part 1 of their 5 part series on "Into the Breach," an apostolic exhortation issued by Bishop Thomas Olmsted in Phoenix in 2015. Bishop Olmsted came out throwing haymakers stating that men have failed in society which has led to chaos, disruption, and disappointment. For too long men have forsaken their duties and allowed Satan to penetrate the walls and create a breach in our defenses. Although this sounds like the makings of an epic novel, you will have to settle for James and Father Dom's take on the matter.  Fr. Dom begins his modus operandi on Adam failing to defend the garden and allowing the serpent to enter. James quotes Shakespeare and somehow ties it into the military.  James quotes stats that should leave all men preparing for the spiritual battle to defeat Satan. And so much more!Join Father Dom and James right now and change your family tree! DO NOT NEGLECT the Fr. Dom Challenge! This week, you must find a saint! Saints come in all shapes and sizes.

Hello again! Welcome to Episode 3, "The Manly Dillema." Today,  James and Father Dom  continue their epic discussion Bishop Olmsted's gut-punching "Into the Breach." Bishop Olmsted asks three important questions in his exhortation that he addresses: 1. What does it mean to be a Christian man?2. How does a Catholic man love?3. Why is fatherhood, fully understood, crucial for every man?Within those questions, he discusses three primary contexts to shape and mold the questions:1. A New Apostolic Moment - The "New Evangelization"2. A Field Hospital and a Battle College3. Man and Woman are Complementary, not CompetitorsThis episode dropped all sorts of nuggets so make sure you tune in! You don't want to miss  how this podcast is single-handedly trying to fulfill the call of the new evangelization, why the Church tends to the wounded from the spiritual battle with Satan and his demons (another epic novel idea), and why men and women are indeed different but they are in fact on the same team.  DO NOT FORGET James' Challenge. Yes, James stole Father Dom's game. Men, get to confession. No matter how long it has been, no matter what is holding you back, get to confession. Get in a state of grace first and foremost and allow God to work in your life. I, James, dread going to confession every time, but I leave feeling a weight has been lifted from my heart and soul. The Lord truly heals and gives us such a tremendous gift with confession.Make this podcast even more manly (and yourself while you're at it) and follow us on Facebook and Twitter for more sensational content and to create brothers in a community.Resources Mentioned:1.
