New Episodes every Sunday.Train Hard. Pray Harder. Join the brotherhood today: https://catholicwarrior.com/ Nobody told you that you had to be a traddie in a cassock to be Catholic. Nobody told you that you had to fit inside someone else's box.The truth is — the Church is big enough for all of us. The hunter. The fighter. The guy who's still figuring it out. The man who's been away and is finding his way back. You don't have to be perfect. You just have to show up.In this episode I'm talking about the niche Catholic gatekeeping that drives men away from the Faith instead of drawing them in. The cliques. The purity spirals. The guys who make you feel like you're not Catholic enough. That's not the Church. That's pride wearing a rosary. We are all on the same team. We are all fighting the same enemy. And the moment we start treating each other like opponents is the moment the devil wins.Be proud to be Catholic. All of it. The whole thing. Not just the parts that fit your aesthetic.
