True Manhood

[SinfulMan]

What does it mean to be a man? What are the qualities of a true man according to Catholic teaching?

Could you please provide me with some sources, maybe some mp3 links to good talks on this subject?

Jesus Christ is our role-model in this regard.

I highly recommend the EWTN series “Behold the Man” by Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers. You may download MP3’s from:

Yea, I agree with the above poster.

Thank you so much. I will surely download those talks and listen to them. If anyone provides some additional links, I would greatly appreciate it.

That is good. I know and understand the demons you struggle with. You are to be commended for your efforts to defeat them - and you surely WILL defeat them (through your own free-will efforts, with the help of God), as many have. Even an entire lifetime of sinful dispositions CAN be overcome, as many Saints will attest (consider the “Confessions of St. Augustine,” for example).

Deacon Harold is an amazing preacher and teacher, especially when speaking on the topic of masculine spirituality. I am very sure that you will benefit greatly from his insights.
