Today, John, Sam, and Devin dive deep into the compelling topic of why men often seek respect but sometimes for misguided reasons. They explore how this desire for respect is etched into the core of a man's being, often intertwined with the desire for love. However, the hosts emphasize the need for this to be guided correctly because the opposite leads to vainglory, a sin that veers us off the virtuous path. Tune in as they articulate the essential rules that men should hold close to their hearts, guiding them on the journey to earn respect in a way that aligns with God's divine plan for their lives.Finally, each week we are going to answer one of your questions during the podcast. This week we have a question from a man who wants to know the relationship between habitual sins and addictions. If you have any questions, please, record yourself on your phone and send us the audio clip to <a href="mailto:podcast@catholicgentleman.com">podcast@catholicgentleman.com</a>. Or just send us your question and we will read it on air. 🔴 SPONSOR: Catholic Woodworker - https://catholicwoodworker.com/🔴 Watch all 1h 35 mins of episode 134 on Catholic Gentleman Plus: https://catholicgentlemanplus.comHelp Support the Catholic Gentleman - https://catholicgentleman.com/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Relieving Post-Traumatic Stress & Calming Anxiety (Dr. Gerry Crete) | Ep.449

Marriage is tough, it comes with incomparable joys, as well as intense sorrow. When two people, both fallen and broken, enter into a loving marriage they must expect struggles and sacrifices. It is through these challenges that their love will be purified and they become witnesses to a profound commitment mostly lacking in today's world. Today we read through a secular blog that offers reasons men should consider divorce, using this as a sort of bellwether of society to get to the right understanding of marriage and how this is all horrible advice.We do our best to tread with dignity discussing the interior lives of the men brought up in the article but are honest about the falsehoods that they espouse.✅ If you have any questions that we can answer on the show, please, send your questions to us at podcast@catholicgentleman.com.

Horrible Marriage Advice

Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Matthew Petrusek, senior director of the Word on Fire Institute and the host of the Word on Fire Show. Thank you for joining us. The faithful recently rejoiced at the news that Archbishop Fulton Sheen, the great American evangelist who lived from 1895 to 1979, has moved forward in the canonization process. The Vatican recently announced that he will soon be beatified, which is one step away from being declared a saint. This is an especially happy development for Word on Fire Catholic Ministries, which, as an apostolate dedicated to evangelization, has a special devotion to Archbishop Sheen; in fact, his portrait hangs just beyond the studio doors where we are recording this show, next to our other patrons, St. Thérèse of Lisieux and Pope St. John Paul II. Looking back, what kind of enduring impact has Fulton Sheen had on evangelization and the Church? Looking forward, what can we continue to learn from him today, especially given the fact that the evangelical landscape has so drastically changed, both culturally and technologically, since Sheen's time? Here to celebrate Sheen's legacy, and how the great communicator continues to shape Word on Fire's own evangelical mission, is Bishop Robert Barron. Topics Covered 00:00 | Introduction 01:22 | Winona-Rochester's confirmation season 02:19 | What is beatification? 04:44 | Who was Fulton Sheen? 07:15 | Sheen's theology of the Church as mystical body of Christ 11:38 | Sheen's theology of grace 15:10 | The quiet influence of Fulton Sheen in Bishop Barron's life 20:44 | The Pivotal Players: Fulton Sheen 21:59 | Examining Sheen's universal appeal 26:22 | Fulton Sheen and social media 29:49 | Word on Fire and Fulton Sheen 30:20 | Listener question: How do I best use social media to evangelize? 32:23 | Join the Word on Fire Institute <a href= "links:">Links:</a> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Word on Fire Institute: <a href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/?tblci=GiBXvHfcJX4oZg-wmduPKb324kS5wUYHx9RAQRSDmWbwoCDNulooifjrjryg5PpT">https://institute.wordonfire.org/</a></li> </ul> NOTE: Do you like this podcast? <a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/ignite-wof-show">Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member</a>!
