Ep 245 | Are tattoos sinful? | Q&A Episode!

According to many modern-day Catholics, the Bible&#39;s instruction for husbands and wives is to be mutually submissive to one another. 
I had heard this interpretation of Ephesians 5 numerous times. Having actually read the entire book of Ephesians multiples times myself, I was always perplexed at how we came to these conclusions. 
One problem many Catholics have is being guilty of what Protestants accuse us of the most: not reading the Bible. 
If you&#39;ve read the New Testament, it&#39;s hard to understand the direction for husbands and wives as anything close to mutual submission in the way it&#39;s often explained today. 
In this episode, we will take a deeper look at what Scripture, the Church fathers, and some doctors of the Church have to say about mutual submission.

Ep 85 | What's The Deal With Pope Francis and The Traditional Latin Mass?

In this episode of The Manly Catholic, James sits down in the backyard of Deacon Greg Beasley, to discuss what it truly means to live a life of disciplined faith. Deacon Greg shares his fascinating backstory—from operating nuclear submarines in the Navy, to his powerful conversion to Catholicism through the Eucharist. The conversation dives deep into practical tools for spiritual and physical growth, exploring the impact of Discipleship Quads for building deep brotherhood and accountability, and the Daniel Plan, a holistic approach to treating food as medicine and honoring the body as a temple of the Holy Spirit. Tune in for a candid look at personal responsibility, daily prayer discipline, and the call to step out of the shadows and into the fight. Thank you for your prayers and support!
