    In this homily, Father Dom dives deep into the concept of grace as an unearned gift from God.

    Ep 184 Revisited: Saying "Yes": A Raw Vocation Story Every Catholic Man Needs to Hear

    We revisit this powerful episode, where James and Father Dom chat with then, newly ordained transitional Deacon (now Father!), Logan McGahan to talk about what the Church desperately needs more of: real vocations, absolute obedience, and total surrender to Jesus Christ. This isn't a sanitized vocation story. Deacon Logan pulls back the curtain on his journey from a childhood call to the priesthood through years of denial, drugs, alcohol, and distraction—all leading to a decisive moment where God demanded a clear answer: Yes or No. Subscribe to our Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxrRLZNk4WqPdgcac5vuWEQ Check out our website https://www.themanlycatholic.com/ Shop our https://the-manly-catholic-store.checkoutstores.com/ Get delicious coffee from https://www.mysticmonkcoffee.com/ Download https://tanbooks.com/tan-digital-app/ to access the incredible TAN Library!

    Ep 187 Revisited: Tolkien Was Warning Us: AI, Vice, and the War for Men’s Souls (Paul List)

    In this revisit of one of our episodes of The Manly Catholic, James sits down with self-educated philosopher, entrepreneur, and author Paul List to discuss his fascinating book, Mount Doom: The Prophecy of Tolkien Revealed (co-authored with Ali Ghafari). Paul shares how his own background in Aristotelian and Thomistic philosophy unlocked a hidden layer of Tolkien's mythology—one that standard academia completely misses. James and Paul pull back the curtain on a little-known piece of history: Tolkien’s recruitment to Bletchley Park alongside Alan Turing, the father of modern artificial intelligence. Paul argues that Tolkien foresaw the rise of the "machine" and the ultimate devaluation of the human soul. Together, they break down the profound scholastic allegories hidden within Middle-earth, revealing how characters like Tom Bombadil, Goldberry, and the Hobbits represent the human will, intellect, and the four cardinal virtues fighting against the binary grip of Mordor. Grab your coffee, settle in, and get ready for a heavy dose of metaphysics, philosophy, and Catholic theology.

    Ep 43 Revisited : The Power of Patriarchy & Defeating the Diabolical (Jesse Romero)

    In this revisit of one of our episodes of The Manly Catholic, James and Father Dom sit down with Catholic author, speaker, and former LA County Sheriff's deputy Jesse Romero. Jesse brings his signature "power preaching with devil-destroying theology" to expose the realities of spiritual warfare in the modern world. Jesse shares incredible, spine-chilling stories from his time working as a rookie cop in the mentally ill offenders unit at the LA County Jail, where he encountered notorious occult serial killers like Richard Ramirez. He details his own "Matrix red pill moment" when he witnessed firsthand the literal, physical inability of satanic killers to utter the words "Jesus is Lord".

    Ep 214 - Your Home Is Supposed to Be a Church: Here's How to Build It with Mike DiCosola

    Most Catholic men were sacramentalized but never catechized. They went through the motions and walked away without ever being handed a vision for what their faith was supposed to look like inside their home. Mike DiCosola knows that story from the inside. He lived it. James sits down in person with Mike DiCosola, Executive Director of Paradisus Dei for one of the most practical and honest conversations about Catholic family life you will hear. Mike walks through how That Man Is You started twenty-five years ago in a single Houston parish and now runs in over 1,200 parishes worldwide. He explains why the content is almost secondary — the real fruit always comes from the small group, around the table, when men stop talking about other people and start talking about themselves. He breaks down Missionaries to the Family, a one-year formation program built on the Catechism and the Spirit of Nazareth, and what it actually looks like to make your home the domestic church it was always meant to be. Powerful Quotes: "Wherever you are in the spiritual life, Jesus Christ wants to encounter you right there and take you further. He's not asking you to be a canonized saint tomorrow. He's asking you to take one step." "A lone soldier is an easy target. That is what the Evil One wants — to isolate us so he can come at us when we have no defense." "The goal is generational change of the culture. If the only thing that survived were families gathered together to help one another live, love, and grow in faith — then we will have been a successful endeavor." 📚 References & Resources Mentioned: Paradisus Dei — https://paradisusdei.org/That Man Is You — https://paradisusdei.org/that-man-is-you/She Shall Be Called Woman — https://paradisusdei.org/she/Missionaries to the Family — https://paradisusdei.org/missionaries-to-the-family/Mysteries of the Rosary series — free at https://paradisusdei.org/mysteries-of-the-rosary/ Thank you for your prayers and support!
