In this episode of "The Making of Man," we delve into the essence of masculinity, exploring its roots in manhood and its responsibilities in modern society. I discuss the threefold responsibilities of masculinity: boundaries, protection, and provision, drawing on historical, mythological, and biblical examples to illustrate these concepts.

Matthew and François Sarah sit down to discuss the writing and legacy of Louis de Bonald, a French commentator on the revolution who argued for the monarchy. In doing so, he lays out a framework of leadership and governance that any husband and father can benefit from. Enjoy.

Its inherent in every man but we do not want to teach about it or give good role models for it. The Church offers a solution: the Saints. In The Manly Saints Project, Hugh shines a light on a manly saint each week. From warriors to monks to politicians to pilgrims, we can take heart knowing there are so many ways to become a manly saint.

In this episode, Matthew and Evan tackle the philosophy of the Bronze Age Mindset - the idea that men should strive for excellence in order to pursue excess pleasure or money. While this philosophy does lead men to discipline and excellence, it obviously falls short of the Catholic masculine ideal.

Every man knows that lust and pornography is the greatest scourge of our time. It has been estimated that around one third of the internet is dedicated to its production. Studies have shown that it is more addictive, and can rewire more neural pathways, than almost anything else, and it is just clicks away at any given moment.

Even more than the biological and social ramifications, we can also recognize its spiritual ramifications. Pornography is a sin and the willful use of it separates us from God.

In this episode, Andres Loret and I discuss ways to avoid this harmful reality, and live the life that God calls us to.
