The Catholic Culture Podcast: Ep. 78 – Three Marks of Manhood, Pt. 1: Patriarchy Purified

June 19, 2020

For Catholics, it is vitally necessary to acknowledge the timeless Biblical and Magisterial teaching on the headship of the father over the family. But St. Paul’s simultaneous call for husbands to love their wives even to the point of death, even as Christ loved the church, is in fact the essence of Christian patriarchy. , may be treated as an appendix.

In his 2010 book Three Marks of Masculinity: How to Become a Family Priest, Prophet, and King“Father of Christian Psychology” GC Dilsaber explains how pagan, controlling, and selfish elements must be purified while upholding the natural and supernatural foundations of male headship. I’m explaining what not to do. The path to becoming a true Christian man is through a crucible of humiliation. Dilsaber argues that, contrary to the notion of a strictly masculine and “active” man, receptivity is a fundamental condition of living beings, regardless of gender. This is the maxim of Catholic mysticism that the soul is feminine in its relationship to Christ.

This is the first part of a two-part interview.
