ABOUT US

Founded in 2013, The Catholic Gentleman has become one of the most recognizable online men’s apostolates.

Each week hundreds of thousands of men around the world visit our site for the insightful articles and the highest-quality products designed to encourage a life of authentic manhood.

Our Mission: To inspire men to holiness

We are a community of Catholic men like you, striving to live for Christ by serving our families, our neighbors and the Church.

We believe that holiness is for men. It is the ultimate challenge, the greatest pursuit and the most rewarding attainment.

Every post from The Catholic Gentleman is prayerfully written and designed to strengthen and encourage Catholic men just like you to lead holy and fulfilling lives. You’ll find posts about manly saints, beer, dressing sharp, marriage, spiritual weapons and a lot more.

It’s everything you need to know to be an authentic Catholic gentleman!

Esto Viri. Esto Sancti.

Our motto is Esto Viri. Esto Sancti., which means “Be a Man. Be a Saint.” Following Christ isn’t for the faint of heart.

Catholic men are called to change their lives.
To leave mediocrity behind.
To strive for greatness.

True manliness is not about assuming a passive or subservient role in social and professional situations. True manliness is about having the courage to set things right. And it all begins with changing your life.

The Catholic Gentleman.
Be a Man. Be a Saint.

Furthermore, Our Lord appears to be saying that He believes that God His Father has left Him. However, Jesus, to be a perfect sacrificial offering to God, was intent on identifying Himself as sin, though He had sinned not. Our Lord willed to embrace the experience of abandonment that the sinner experiences when separated from God. Indeed, Jesus deemed it necessary to endure the abandonment caused by sin for the purpose of fully redeeming all sinners.

John Hienen, owner of The Catholic Gentleman, said that often men treat Lent as though it is “extra credit,” as though we are being kind to God by offering Him a little extra. How nice. Lent is not an add-on feature, a bonus segment on a liturgical app, an extra rep, or an extra lap around the track.Lent is essential.You will only have so many Lents—perhaps seventy or eighty for those who are granted a longer life. “Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.” (Psalm 90:10)Indeed, how many of these Lents have we embraced to the fullest?
