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.

6 Essential Rules Every Catholic Man Should Live By

January 24, 2023
“I will fear, love and honor God above all others, even at the cost of my own life.” The early Church was full of martyrs. These men didn’t simply give up their lives for Christ, they faced their death with courage and — sometimes — even jokes! It is said that as St. Lawrence was being roasted to death on an iron grill, he teasingly told his torturers, “I am done on this side, turn me over.” Christ was so real to the early Christians that they counted death as nothing so long as they could be with Him. You may not have to die for your faith. But you may suffer from “soft martyrdom,” such as losing friends over your beliefs. The word “martyr” means “witness.” By holding true to Christ’s teachings, you are witnessing to a higher order of values.

Raising Catholic Gentlemen in Your Homeschool

January 24, 2023
Our world has become aggressively crude and divisive, while the societal pressures on men and boys to hate their own masculinity has taken its toll on all of us. So what are Catholic families to do? John Heinen recently joined The Homeschooling Saints Podcast to talk about Bringing Back Gentlemanliness.

Afraid of God

January 17, 2023
I'm afraid of God. I’ve probably always been afraid of Him but just realized it – put it into those words – at the Vigil Mass for the Solemnity of Mary. May she pray for me now and at the hour of my death. This may be Proverbs 9:10: “The beginning of wisdom is fear of the LORD, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” I hedge (“may be”), because the “feeling” I refer to is claustrophobia: I am overwhelmed by His presence and power and feel the need to escape.
