Today, John, Sam, and Devin dive deep into the compelling topic of why men often seek respect but sometimes for misguided reasons. They explore how this desire for respect is etched into the core of a man's being, often intertwined with the desire for love. However, the hosts emphasize the need for this to be guided correctly because the opposite leads to vainglory, a sin that veers us off the virtuous path. Tune in as they articulate the essential rules that men should hold close to their hearts, guiding them on the journey to earn respect in a way that aligns with God's divine plan for their lives. Finally, each week we are going to answer one of your questions during the podcast. This week we have a question from a man who wants to know the relationship between habitual sins and addictions. If you have any questions, please, record yourself on your phone and send us the audio clip to podcast@catholicgentleman.com.

Marriage is tough, it comes with incomparable joys, as well as intense sorrow. When two people, both fallen and broken, enter into a loving marriage they must expect struggles and sacrifices. It is through these challenges that their love will be purified and they become witnesses to a profound commitment mostly lacking in today's world. Today we read through a secular blog that offers reasons men should consider divorce, using this as a sort of bellwether of society to get to the right understanding of marriage and how this is all horrible advice. We do our best to tread with dignity discussing the interior lives of the men brought up in the article but are honest about the falsehoods that they espouse. ✅ If you have any questions that we can answer on the show, please, send your questions to us at podcast@catholicgentleman.com.

Today John, Sam, and our guest, Gabriel Castillo, discuss the captivating journey from being an MTV trained sinner of the world to becoming an on-fire Catholic evangelist with over 20 Million video views online. From his early days of mocking Catholicism while attending St. Thomas University to a moment of divine revelation during Adoration, where he heard inexplicable things and was moved to tears, his life took an unexpected turn. Yet, he continued to grapple with living a sinful lifestyle and trying to be a holy Catholic man. It was a chilling demonic encounter that finally pushed him to seek redemption through confession, sparking a profound conversion. We then explore how to live a life aligned with Christ's teachings, the power of devotion to Our Blessed Mother to guarantee success in life, and becoming an instrument of Grace in the world. Drawing inspiration from the lives of saints like St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Francis de Sales, St. Louis de Montfort, and many others, you will be sure to learn a lot about prayer, devotion to Our Lady, and how to handle the tough challenges of life with peace and joy.

Today John is joined by a well-known priest and author to men, Fr. Roger Landry. We discuss his call to the priesthood, the abuse scandal in Boston, and how to avoid effeminacy as a man. We often associate effeminacy with men acting like women, but the reality, as St. Thomas Aquinas teaches, it is the vice directly opposed to perseverance and courage. How does this show itself today and how can we as men reject this vice? 🔴 SPONSOR - Napa Institute - https://www.thenapaconference.org Coupon Code: CG50Napa Fr.

In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, John and Sam meet with Josh Hochschild, co-author of A Mind At Peace, to discuss the fact that modern technology is designed with the human person as the product to be sold, and how the addictive elements are disrupting and deadening our relationship with God, our family and friends, and ourselves. We also discuss the hierarchy of virtues a man needs to work on to regain control of his faculties and grow in holiness. In this episode we discuss; How technology is here to stay but does NOT need to control us How the perennial teachings of the Church can still be used for this combat How each of us struggle and have certain practices we use to stay disciplined And more Joshua P.

Beauty belongs to Catholicism, yet we see fewer and fewer traces of this in our modern Churches. Men often ignore this transcendental and lack a depth of understanding of the objective nature of beauty. It is time to learn how beauty is tied to truth and goodness and how it can awaken within your soul an improved man. We are joined today by Robert Puschautz, a professional artist of the Stabat Mater Foundation, to learn why this is the case and how we can fix it. Stabat Mater Foundation - https://www.stabatmater.org/art Robert Puschautz IG - https://www.instagram.com/robertpuschautz "We no longer dare to believe in beauty and we make of it a mere appearance in order the more easily to dispose of it. Our situation today shows that beauty demands for itself at least as much courage and decision as do truth and goodness, and she will not allow herself to be separated and banned from her two sisters without taking them along with herself in an act of mysterious vengeance. We can be sure that whoever sneers at her name as if she were the ornament of a bourgeois past -- whether he admits it or not -- can no longer pray and soon will no longer be able to love." - Hans Urs von Balthazar 🔴 The Catholic Gentleman Podcast happens because of our generous donors, including monthly donations of any amount.

Lent comes every year, yet often we struggle to create an effective plan to improve ourselves and refocus on Christ. During Lent, all men's minds should be moved with greater zeal to develop and expand on our spiritual disciplines, but how can we achieve this successfully?

Do we have a moral obligation to take care of ourselves and what is the correct balance?  You Are That Temple - https://www.sophiainstitute.com/products/item/you-are-that-temple Kevin Vost, Psy.D., is the author of twenty books including Memorize the Faith! and How to Think Like Aquinas and has taught psychology at Aquinas College in Nashville, Tennessee, the University of Illinois at Springfield, Lincoln Land Community College, and MacMurray College.

Today, John, Sam, and our guest, Fr. Ken Garaci, discuss how he went from being a profit-driven agnostic business executive to a Catholic priest who constantly guides men in defeating Satan and resisting his temptations. The story of how God so clearly intervened in his selfish life serves as a reminder to all of us that God is always seeking our souls. Fr. Ken delivers one incredible statement after another to remind each of us that we must wake up, truly comprehend the world around us, and utilize the tools God has provided to overcome Satan while simultaneously growing in love for Christ. We are all engaged in a battle, whether we are aware of it or not; the world depends on our response to the call.

Chad Ripperger In the name of Jesus Christ, Our Lord and God, Jesus, I ask You to render all spirits impotent, paralyzed and ineffective in attempting to take revenge against me, my family, my friends, my community, and those who pray for me and my family. I ask You to bind all evil spirits, all powers of the air, the water, the ground, the fire, under ground, or wherever they exercise their powers, any satanic forces in nature and any and all emissaries of the satanic headquarters. I ask You to bind by Thy Precious Blood all of the attributes, aspects and characteristics, interactions, communications and deceitful games of the evil spirits. I ask You to break any and all bonds, ties, and attachments in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Fr. Ken Geraci lived the life of the prodigal son for most of his young adult life. Raised in a nominally Catholic family, who only lived the externals of the faith, as a young man, he left the Catholic Church for many years. During that time, he earned a business degree and achieved business success, but made little room for God. God, however, did not give up on him. During this journey, Our Lord presented him with challenges that forced him to question his personal beliefs and to ask the question "What is Truth?" Through a series of conversions, years of struggle, study and questioning, Fr. Ken found his way from agnosticism, to non-denominational Christianity, and ultimately back to the Catholic Church. Fr. Ken joined the Fathers of Mercy in 2006 and was ordained in 2012. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, Sam and John unpack the tremendously rich patrimony the desert fathers have given the world but are lost in the west. We are joined by the knowledgable and experienced director, Fr. David Abernethy (An Oratorian), to go back to the roots of this spiritual tradition that is unmatched in its ability to overcome temptations and grow in unity with Christ. Learn how to actually strengthen your will, unite your heart and mind, and how a life not working on frequent asceticism can never fully achieve the unity with God that is possible before death. In this episode we discuss; How even Catholic conversations online add to the noise of the world How ascetical practices are greater than mere reparation for sins How Eastern Spirituality must be renewed in study and practice The problem with priests today And More Fr. David Abernethy was born in Johnstown PA and is a Father of The Oratory of Saint Philip Neri in Pittsburgh. Father David converted to Catholicism as an undergraduate at the University of Pittsburgh, where he earned his Bachelors Degree. He also holds Masters Degrees in Sacred Theology and Divinity and has spent many years as a priest studying clinical counseling and Psychoanalysis at the Pittsburgh Psychoanalytic Center where he is an academic candidate. In 1987 the Philokalia was given to Father David as a gift; this gift sparked a love for the Desert Fathers and Eastern Spirituality that Father David has developed for over thirty years. He has a particular interest in the works of Saint John Cassian, Saint John Climacus and Saint Isaac the Syrian.

Sean received his Bachelor’s of Arts at UC Berkeley, where he studied physics and was on the men’s gymnastics team. He completed his Master of Arts in Theology with a Salesian Studies concentration at the Dominican School of Philosophy & Theology. His Masters thesis analyzed the ecclesiology inherent to documents of the Second Vatican Council, and proposes the Scriptural notion of liturgy as an interpretive lens that elucidates the relationship between formal ritual worship and its integrated expression in everyday life. His exploration led to practical applications geared toward the animation of the faithful in the Church’s mission, including the Lay Mission Project: an in-depth disciple-community formation experience that enables the laity to live the faith in their daily lives, foster strong relationships, and transform your world. In his spare time, Sean co-founded Traverse Fitness, a ninja warrior gym that trains the current, and next generation of obstacle course racers, many of whom are underprivileged kids whose memberships are discounted and subsidized through donations.

The youngest, Jarrett’s father Roland, went on to lead a touring band in the 90's, and he's still playing venues in Texas today. Jarrett spent his childhood surrounded by guitars and live music, and by age 14 had mastered the guitar by playing along to his father’s cassette tape recordings. He eventually found himself on stage as well, touring as Jarrett Schaub and the Vagabonds for several years throughout Texas. He stepped away in 2012 to focus on his growing family. Jarrett built his first guitar in 2002 in his grandfather's guitar shop. Reid Schaub had been building acoustic guitars and mandolins since 1968, and he was eager to pass his wisdom on to future generations. For many years the Schaub family held weekly sessions in Reid’s guitar shop, with three generations of Schaub men learning and working together under one roof.

We hear a lot about the Good News today, but we do not hear much about the bad news. However, as Peter Kreeft has stated, without the bad news, the good news is meaningless. Sin is not spoken of frequently enough, glossed over, and sometimes outright ignored. We all know that the secular world champions vice and acts as if it is virtue, and while this complete reversal might not affect you totally, it likely has lessened the degree to which you despise sin in your life. Today we go into sin, what it is, what it is not, and two devastating ways that men often deal with sin in their lives. As we look to Christ on the Cross, it is necessary to understand how our sin has put him there and the mercy that is available to us. 🔴 🔴 Watch the extended addition, all 1h 30 mins of episode 152 on Catholic Gentleman Plus where we discuss the way out of sin in your life: https://catholicgentlemanplus.com ✅ We love to answer questions on the show.

Today, John, Sam, and Devin have decided to delve into the two archetypes that shape every one of us and profoundly impact our existence. We have chosen these two archetypes due to the intricate interplay between them and how they mutually support and complete each other. God has created men to be a wellspring of power and positive change for the world, but that same power can also be harnessed for evil. Let's focus our attention on how these Christ-like images within us influence our lives and how we can harness them to triumph in life.

We are called to abstain from work on Sundays, and indeed it can be sinful to engage in unnecessary labor. Yet we face the challenge of discerning what constitutes work, how we as men living for God can fulfill this precept, and what we should avoid to ensure our Sundays remain holy. We explore what the Church actually teaches, why leisure is essential for our lives, and what can prevent the Holy Day from being truly effective. We also get to answer a question from a listener about helping his friend after his wife had an affair.
