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.
