Behold the Man Ep.4 - St. Joseph, The Exteriority of Men, & Masculine Virtues? w/ Dr. Peter Holmes

Book Coming Soon: Redeeming Masculinity by Dr. Peter Holmes Dr. Peter Holmes, a Catholic theologian and professor (University of Notre Dame, Australia), discusses the concept of masculinity and its importance in society. He emphasizes that Christ is the greatest example of masculinity, as he embodies self-giving and self-sacrificing love. He argues that the industrial revolution and the separation of work from the home have contributed to a gap in understanding masculinity. He suggests that the key to reorienting masculinity is to focus on fatherhood and the love and protection of family. They also discuss the concept of complementarity between men and women, with men being more exterior and women being more interior. They delve into the importance of fathers in calling their children out of the safety of home and into the world to flourish. They also touch on the virtues that are unique to men, such as courage, work, and chastity.
