Episode 238: Prideful? The Best Way to Stop

Pride among Catholic men rarely looks like arrogance. What men don’t realize is that it surfaces as control, self-reliance, withdrawal, or even habits that appear virtuous on the surface. In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, John Heinen and Devin Schadt are joined by Patrick O’Hearn to examine why pride is so difficult to recognize in ourselves—and why it quietly blocks growth in the spiritual life, marriage, and leadership.

They unpack why the Litany of Humility remains one of the Church’s most demanding prayers, and how it exposes attachments that many men don’t realize they’re carrying.
