For some reason I am forever answering to accusations that Catholic men are spineless and guilt-driven, able to be controlled by homosexual celibate priests. Obviously I know this to be the farthest thing from the truth.  Chainsaw
Were there any saints or notable Catholics that said things about masculinity and the Catholic man that would be worth quoting to back up my point? This could be a good thread to discuss what the saints say about being a Catholic man as well, but this is the tank, things rarely go as planned!  Grin

Nothing to add here, other than to say that the bolded part is quite true.

Hopefully the next poster will be of more help.

I don't know about Saints' quotes, but I would think St. Joseph would be the best Catholic model.

Thanks!  I don't know if I'll get to see it, then, but I plan to make time to go see it, then get the DVD.

You know - there's a pair of Catholic men that aren't spineless or guilt-driven!

Well this is not something someone said...but Kink Henry V and the Black Prince were Catholic...and Men with plenty of spine...as was Roland and Charles Martel and his son

I don't suppose the Crusaders were all that spineless

The French Resistance was rife with Catholic men and women,   The Poles put up a good fight against the two biggest boys on the block and had the silly fortitude to charge tanks with horses...and they were all Cath...rather die than live under the incoming scum, you know.

There is a large percentage of Catholics in the Army not being spineless...

This quote (that I use in my signature) is not directly related to the subject of masculinity, but it is certainly relevant to these emasculating times:
Quote from: St. John Chrysostom
"Further, the person who does not become irate when he has cause to be, sins. For an unreasonable patience is the hotbed of many vices: it fosters negligence, and stimulates not only the wicked, but above all the good, to do wrong."

In Corde Regis,
Joshua

"Every one therefore that shall confess me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven. But he that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven. Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword."
-Matthew X : XXXIII - XXXIV

A very edifying quote. Always good to demonstrate that being ''religious'' does not equate to being effeminate. Just see Jesus Christ driving out the crap from the Temple.

Also how about the soldier saints like, Martin de Tours, St Sabastian, Ignatious of Loyola, and St Longengitis the roman that was converted after peircing the side of Jesus on the Cross he has a shrine in Saint Peters itself.

or the Priest Father Corapi on ewtn he was an army ranger once, and has a voice so menacing that you sware if you did not belive what he says he would beat it into you. 

and dont forget the kings Charlemain, or Richard the Lionheart, they were Catholic soldier kings.
I doubt anyone called them a sissy boy.

"O MARY, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee."

"Teach them that just as there is only one God, one Christ, one Holy Spirit, so there is also only one truth which is divinely revealed. There is only one divine faith which is the beginning of salvation for mankind and the basis of all justification, the faith by which the just person lives and without which it is impossible to please God and to come to the community of His children. There is only one true, holy, Catholic church, which is the Apostolic Roman Church. There is only one See founded in Peter by the word of the Lord, outside of which we cannot find either true faith or eternal salvation. He who does not have the Church for a mother cannot have God for a father, and whoever abandons the See of Peter on which the Church is established trusts falsely that he is in the Church." - Pius IX, Singulari Quidem.

Ringing bells, outside of Church, is not manly.

It should be "Crusaders clash against shields" or something Smiley

If you bash somebody's helmet hard enough, it'll sound like bells to them.

And it's worth pointing out that Mohammedans hate the sound of bells ringing.

It must've been frightening to hear all those crusader shields and helmets clashing around them.
