This is Not Holiness

October 18, 2023
Today, John and Sam are excited to announce a second week with the new host to our show, Devin Schadt. His depth of knowledge, charism, and understanding is a joy to bring to our listeners. This week we talk about what holiness is NOT and the failed thought processes and actions we fall into while striving to be better. We spend time expanding upon how fear and work are stages we often go through in understanding how to grow into a loving relationship and union with God.

7 Things A Man Needs To Learn The Hard Way

July 28, 2021
In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, John and Sam discuss the life lessons that men have to learn to mature and grow in wisdom, holiness, and virtue. Going through life with an attempt to avoid difficulties and suffering will stunt your development as a man and lead to selfishness. We both get honest about our youthful immaturity and how God has worked in our weakness to make us stronger men.

Why do I fail when I have so much good will? This is a question that plagues every man who genuinely cares about his spiritual life. Indeed, St. Paul himself, after lamenting the war between his flesh and spirit, cries out poignantly in Romans 7, Pitiable creature that I am, who is to set me […]

We are all guilty of it…except one: St. Joseph (I’m not counting Mary because she […]

Their services are tailored to modern tastes, featuring heart-pumping music, colorful strobe lights, and positive sermons.

Love Your (Political) Enemies

November 15, 2016
Fascist. Snowflake. Liberal weenie. Nazi. Racist, xenophobic, bigot. Idiot. Moron. Ignorant fool. These are just a few of the tamer insults hurled violently at others online and in person during the past two years of the election process. And since the election itself, things have only gotten exponentially worse. It’s no exaggeration to say that […]

The Most Unpopular Commandment

June 8, 2016
Of all Jesus commandments, there is one that is more unpopular than any other. It’s the one commandment where I’ve heard people say that Jesus didn’t really mean what he said. I’ve even heard more excuses for this sin than for sins of the flesh. What is this commandment? It is the commandment not to […]
