Baptism is not soft. It is not sentimental. It is not a family photo-op.

It is the #moment a soul is torn from the #kingdom of darkness and claimed by Jesus Christ. It is a declaration of #war against Satan. And in this episode, we reveal why the *Old Roman Rite of Baptism* remains one of the most #powerful weapons the Church has ever wielded.

Most men have no idea what the Church originally prayed over them. They don’t know about the exorcisms. They don’t know about the confrontations with the demons. They don’t know about the sacred #salt or the spittle of Christ, the multiple anointings, and the repeated commands for Satan to release his grip.

Father Dominic walks us through the old rite step by step. You will hear the #prayers that the demons fear. You will understand why Latin strikes terror into the enemy. You will understand why the devil wants this rite gone. And you will understand what was taken from most of us when the newer forms became standard.

This episode is unapologetically direct. It exposes the spiritual war that begins at the font. It challenges men to know the truth about baptism. And it calls every man to rise up and live out the identity they received the day they were claimed for Christ.

If you have never taken your baptism seriously, this is the episode that will wake you up.

If you are not baptized, this is the episode that will convict you.

If your children need baptism, this is the episode that removes every excuse.

**Baptism is the foundation of Catholic manhood.**
If you don’t understand baptism, you don’t understand the spiritual life. And you don’t understand the war you are already in.

#challenge for Men

Open Scripture today. Find every passage on baptism. Read them. Pray with them. Then open the Catechism and read the section on baptism. If you are not baptized, or your children are not baptized, act immediately. This is war. Do not delay.

#key #takeaway :

Your baptism was not symbolic. It was not optional. It was not a polite formality. It was your enlistment into Christ’s army. Start living like a man who has already declared war on hell.
