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.

Yet this kind of polemic is a form of extremism—and extremism is the devil’s playground. Satan thrives in extremes. He despises virtue and constantly goads us toward deficiency on one side or excess on the other.

A Lesson in Obedience from Dietrich Bonhoeffer

November 11, 2025
Perhaps the most valuable lesson that the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer can offer to the Christian men of our time is a lesson in obedience, a virtue highly unpopular and largely absent from our culture.  The seriousness with which Bonhoeffer viewed obedience to God was evident not only in his life, but also in his theology, which is worthy of note.  Bonhoeffer is well known for his concepts of cheap grace and costly grace. 

The World Does Not Honor the Housewife, So We Must

October 22, 2025
Women who stay home do so from a natural and holy urge, but they are made constantly to feel as if they should be doing something of “actual value” out in the world.  Obviously, to a Catholic with even the slightest formation knows the dignity of motherhood is above all other vocations.  There is not a higher work.
