Helping Catholic men become saints through spiritual warfare, discipline, and authentic masculinity.
The Manly Catholic

The Manly Catholic

The Manly Catholic is for men who refuse to sleepwalk through their faith. Hosted by James and Fr. Dominic, we tackle the hard questions on saints, Scripture, spiritual warfare, and what it actually costs to be a Catholic man today. We're not here to make you comfortable. We're here to teach you how to slay the dragon and become the man your family, your Church, and your God are calling you to be.

New episodes every week. Go out there and be a saint.

Father Dom's Homs: Christ’s Yoke: What Modern Culture Gets Wrong About True Freedom

Father Dom's Homs: Christ’s Yoke: What Modern Culture Gets Wrong About True Freedom

Secular culture tells us that freedom means doing whatever we want, whenever we want. In this Fourth of July homily, Father Dom dismantles that lie and explores what real, ordered freedom looks like under God. Drawing from a personal memory of his veteran brother, the wisdom of the Catechism, and the ancient imagery of an ox’s yoke, Father shows why surrendering to Christ's easy yoke is the only thing that breaks the slavery of sin and unlocks our full potential as men.

Fr. Dom's Homs: Every Breath is a Gift: Why God Fights for Your Soul

Plus, learn the surprising, humble Greek origin of Jesus's reference to "sparrows" and discover what it truly means to let God fight for you like a mighty champion.
