  • Fr. Dom's Homs - Deny the Trinity, Lose Your Soul: Why Catholic Men Must Reclaim the Forgotten Dogma
    Jun 20 2025

    Most Catholic men can recite the Sign of the Cross in their sleep. But do we truly grasp what we’re invoking every time we say those words?

    Fr. Dom cuts through the confusion and calls Catholic men to stand firm in one of the most attacked and misunderstood dogmas of our faith: the Most Holy Trinity. From Scripture to heresy, from the Catechism to the Creed, this episode dives deep into why the Trinity is not just a theological concept—but the very heart of Christian manhood.

    We walk through salvation history, tracing how the Trinity was slowly unveiled, culminating in Pentecost when God fully revealed Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This is not just a mystery to study—it’s a mystery to live. And in a world that mocks the sacred, we are challenged to reclaim our bold, public witness to this truth.

    Fr. Dom reminds us that every time we make the Sign of the Cross, we are drawing the sword of Christ's victory over Satan. Every confession, every Eucharist, every act of prayer—these are moments where we are in direct contact with the living Trinity.

    But how many men cower when it’s time to make the Sign of the Cross in public?

    This episode issues a direct challenge: Catholic men must stop being ashamed of their faith. Stop being passive. Start embracing the power of the Trinity that was poured into your heart at baptism.


    Key Challenge Issued:

    “We must stop being ashamed of making the Sign of the Cross in public. The world needs to know who we are and what we stand for.”


    One Key Takeaway for Men:
    Begin and end your day making the Sign of the Cross slowly and reverently. Do it with conviction. Do it in public. Do it as if your soul depends on it—because it does.


    💬 Three Powerful Quotes from the Episode:

    1. “Try to understand the Trinity and you’ll lose your mind. Try to deny it and you’ll lose your soul.”
    2. “The cross is the weapon that destroyed Satan’s kingdom—and the Trinity is the power behind that victory.”
    3. “There’s no language in the world that can describe the love God has for you, poured into your heart by the Trinity.”


    Final Word to Catholic Men:
    The Trinity is not just a dogma—it is the battlefield on which your soul stands or falls. Enter into the mystery. Live it. Defend it. Die for it if you must. But never, ever ignore it.

  • Fr. Dom's Homs - Hearts Set on Fire: Pope Leo XIV, the Mission, and the Call to Catholic Men
    May 23 2025

    The Church has entered a historic moment—and you, Catholic man, have a mission. In this episode of The Manly Catholic, we reflect on the election of Pope Leo XIV, the first American Pope in the history of the Church, and the profound implications this moment holds for Catholic men across the world. This isn’t just a historical event—it’s a spiritual challenge.

    With clarity, conviction, and a deep love for the Bride of Christ, Pope Leo XIV comes out of the gates with power. Drawing from the charism of the Augustinians and inspired by Pope Leo XIII, our new Holy Father is already taking bold, countercultural stands. In just his first week, he infallibly declared that marriage is between one man and one woman and proclaimed the family as the nucleus of civilization. He is not holding back—and neither should we.

    We are facing our own Industrial Revolution: Artificial Intelligence, the breakdown of the family, confusion about human identity and sexuality, and an increasing rejection of moral truth. But like Pope Leo XIII before him, Leo XIV is standing in the breach—and he’s calling us to do the same.

    Key Takeaway: Live your faith publicly and boldly.

    Do not hide behind silence or comfort. Proclaim Christ with your life, especially in your home. Begin by strengthening your marriage and leading your family in sacrificial love. That is where the Church is rebuilt.

    References & Products Mentioned:

    • Pope Leo XIII’s encyclicals, especially Rerum Novarum
    • The St. Michael the Archangel Prayer
    • St. Augustine’s quote: “Our hearts are restless until they rest in You.”
    • The “Room of Tears” tradition in papal history
    • The Gospel of John 13:34–35
    • Catechism of the Catholic Church (sections on papal infallibility, marriage, and the Church)

    Final Charge:
    Pope Leo XIV isn’t waiting around—and neither can you. Catholic man, your home is your mission field. Your vocation is your battlefield. And your courage, forged in love, is the weapon that will rebuild the Church.

    "End Your Day Like a Man of God: The Final Stand in the Daily Grind"

    Most men wake up in chaos and go to bed in silence—but not in prayer.

    In this final installment of our “Daily Grind” series, I give you the strategy every Catholic man needs to end his day with clarity, discipline, and purpose. If you’re not examining your day with God every night, then you are drifting—and drift is deadly in spiritual combat.

    This episode is your call to war.
    Not against the world—but against your own mediocrity.

    We walk through the 3 essentials of a nighttime routine that isn’t about comfort—it’s about conversion:

    • Review your day under the gaze of God.
    • Repent of your failures with humility.
    • Resolve to rise and fight again tomorrow.

    This isn't fluff. This is about forming the habit of holiness through repetition. This is about reclaiming your night from the Enemy and entrusting it to Christ. This is about ending your day like a saint-in-training—not a slave to screens or laziness.

    I issue a clear challenge: You have no excuse not to do this.
    Stop wasting your nights. Stop lying to yourself that you're too tired. You are a man of God—act like it.

    You want to be a priest of your home?
    Then end your day as a priest, offering the sacrifice of your failures and victories to the Lord.

    🔑 Key Takeaway:
    Start an evening examen—tonight. No delay. 5 minutes. Reflect, repent, resolve. Make it a non-negotiable.

    💬 3 Powerful Quotes:

    1. “Your day doesn’t end with Netflix. Your day ends with the Cross.”
    2. “If you’re too tired to pray, you’re too tired to lead.”
    3. “When men stop examining their lives, the Devil fills the silence.”

    📦 Resources Mentioned:

    • The Examen Prayer (St. Ignatius of Loyola)
    • The Liturgy of the Hours (Night Prayer)
    • "The Manly Catholic" Daily Grind Series (Parts 1–3)

    👊 Final Challenge to Men:
    Be intentional. End your day with God or end it with excuses. Every night is a battle. Finish strong. Review your day. Repent of your sins. Resolve to be better. That’s how Catholic men fight.

    📢 Listen now and start living like a man who means it.
    This isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence—with your God, your wife, your children, and your mission.

    Push play. Step up. Time to fight.
