Why are so many men losing their calling today?
Father Paulus explains how passivity, pornography, and distraction weaken men—and how true Christian manhood can be rediscovered.
Adam stood next to Eve but did nothing when the serpent spoke.
His mistake was passivity—not that he sinned, but that he failed to act. Today, the “serpent” often takes other forms: pornography, career, distraction, drugs—anything that keeps a man distracted instead of present. Jesus shows what true manhood means: not brutality and power over others, but love even to the point of self-sacrifice. This is about true manhood, about Pope John Paul II’s Theology of the Body, and about the question: What happens when men abandon their mission—and how can they reclaim it?
