The Catholic Gentleman

The most elite, successful, and powerful people have their bag of tricks, skill sets, hacks, daily routines, and habits. They use them, profess them, and generate a ton of online traffic, views, subs, and money from them. Today John Heinen and Devin Schadt discuss the real source of their wisdom which is the Catholic Church. From its rich monastic heritage and the teachings of Jesus Christ, all of these practices originate from the Church's understanding of the nature of man and how practicing these habits can help improve your life.

John Heinen, Devin Schadt, and Sam Guzman explore the nature of marriage in our fast-paced hook-up culture and examine why some men (and women) argue that men should avoid marriage. With declining marriage rates and persistently high divorce rates, it's clear that marriage is challenging, leading millions to opt out entirely. We discuss 5 reasons why marriage is difficult for men and why some argue we should abandon this supposedly outdated social construct. But is there truth to these statements? The discussion reveals how these five reasons fall short in helping men live their best lives and uncovers the enduring value of marriage. We also get to answer a question from a listener about how to pray and improve his life after a devastating divorce. ✅ Send us questions that we can answer on the show to [email protected].

WARNING: This episode contains adult content. John Heinen and Devin Schadt explore the seven torments of hell as described in Scripture and elucidated by saints and doctors of the Church. Every person of goodwill should be aware of these torments to inspire a deeper commitment to holiness and truth. Few doctrines of the Faith cause more discomfort and denial among Christians than the existence of hell. How could an all-good and loving God allow eternal damnation for finite failings?

John Heinen, Devin Schadt, and Sam Guzman meet to discuss the confusing and often controversial topic of working on Sundays. 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.

John Heinen meets with Dan Burke to dive into how we can clearly know God's will in our lives. Looking at the great Doctor of the Church, St. Alphonsus, we discuss the truths that everyone needs to hear and commit to memory. We often view our relationship with God as some sort of game to be won, rather than a loving union to be experienced and strengthened. Our decisions can be flooded with stress and anxiety, and our suffering can feel isolating. However, we can find peace in the storms of our struggles; even in the uncertainty of our decisions, God's will can be known, and aligning our lives with it is the ultimate victory.

I have the privilege of speaking with Fr. Roger Landry, who embarked on an extraordinary 1,200-mile plus Eucharistic pilgrimage across the United States while carrying Christ. We explore the profound impact of bringing Jesus in the Eucharist to tens of thousands of people, where even the most indifferent hearts were moved. Fr. Landry shares stories of people stopping their cars, stepping onto the scalding asphalt to kneel in reverence, and experiencing conversions of heart amidst a world often filled with loneliness and apathy. He even had the opportunity to offer a procession in a prison yard, leading something that has likely never happened before in the United States of America. Despite facing some insults, the journey was marked by overwhelming love and transformation. Join us as we delve into these powerful moments of faith and devotion.

Today, we discuss an aspect of Catholicism that affects our ability to live out our calling in life, grow as a community, evangelize to others, and love as Christ requires. When we think of our relationships and how we are called to be friends, it only scratches the surface of the truth that today's guest, Jason Craig, brings to the forefront. Our culture and society are not helping men grow in this truth, and it is intentional. This is intentional because the world is against Christ and His Church.

Today, John, Devin, and Sam are discussing something that will get you out of the vicious cycle that sin places upon us. This is incredibly important because who likes falling into the same sin over and over and over? What if it’s a mortal sin that just keeps returning and you feel trapped when it happens? Helplessness sets in and moving forward seems impossible. This is all too common for men, and today we are going to discuss 3 mistakes that men make after falling into sin and 3 ways to offset this cycle in your life.

Today, John, Devin, and Sam are discussing something that—from our perspective—is quite possibly never proclaimed, discussed, or pondered by men in the Church today. Could this be the very reason why only 31% of Mass going Catholics believe Our Savior is present in the Eucharist? We want to be clear: today’s episode is not just another discussion about Christ’s real presence in the Eucharist, or a lamentation regarding the crisis of faith. We will be conversing about something so serious, so powerful that it could be the most dangerous and important thing you will ever do.

Exorcist priest, Fr. Chad Ripperger, joins us to discuss the general entitlement belief and effeminacy pervasive in men today. We find boys moving to this state of adolescence and frankly never getting out of it. Not only is this state of existence contrary to right order, it stunts growth and keeps boys mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically trapped in immaturity. Fr. Ripperger addresses this issue by breaking down the reality of how men are raised and what can be done to actively raise our sons to be men. He then discusses how his father and his life growing up greatly influenced him in his life as an exorcist battling demons on a regular basis. This is a great conversation with practical steps we can all use. Podcast Sponsor: Exodus 90 - https://exodus90.com/catholicgentleman Links Discussed on the Show: BOOK: Shop Talk by Fr.

We find ourselves in unprecedented times, where over 69% of Church going Catholics no longer believe in the unchanging dogma of Christ's presence in the Eucharist. This is a grave problem that all men must ask themselves: Why? Fr. Donald Calloway joins John Heinen to discuss the reasons this has been an increasing problem over the last 50 years and the solutions. Reverence and love of Christ in the Eucharist is paramount to getting to heaven and there are actions that everyone can do now.

But, perhaps we are not as awake and woke as we think we are. What if most of us are actually taking the blue pill daily?

Women need the strength of men. It is not just a biological reality but one that expands to all aspects of a man's relationship with a woman. Regardless of what popular opinion, ideologies, or political agendas might suggest, without the strength of men our society would crumble. Today, Sam, Devin, and John discuss a recent Kent State University study that aimed to prove masculinity is inherently flawed and dominating and that the more awareness of this issue the better our society will be.

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.

Happy Thanksgiving! Today John and Sam are joined by Jason Craig. Jason has spent years studying and defining the rites of passage boys must take to become men. He has applied this anthropological research to the teachings and lived reality of Christ and His Church, and he shares his discovery with us. The author of Leaving Boyhood Behind, he explains to us how societies have been built around raising boys to adult maturity through recognizable passages and more importantly how our society is lacking in providing these necessary stages of initiation.

Today, John, Devin, and Sam dive into the pressing question: Are your enemies still pulling the strings in your life, preventing you from finding peace and becoming the man you're meant to be? In a world where being triggered and taking offense is the norm, the culture has changed how we approach dialogue and resolution and the effects are toxic. While there is a new battleground, the warning signs that these offenses are controlling us are timeless. We discuss these warning signs as well as how to approach virtuous resolutions and rise above the conflict.

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.
