Love this format. God Bless all the men out there looking to live a Catholic life. It's a knotty situation out there between secular hedonism and the seduction of the MGTOW/manosphere-type strangeness. St Joseph, pray for our boys and men 🙏
vymell23 Thank you. I like it too and think it has many nautical miles ahead of it. Thankfully had lots of guys agree to come on. Rowing, looking, moving & drinking, you can quickly forget yourself and the camera, get some honest accounts in return.
@@oneofnine My prayers for your family - who knows - could include heavenly trickle down fortune so you can make an all expenses paid tour of Australia. You'd have one guest locked-in :) But agreed more solid is Ezek 47:1-, Rev 22:1- catch up. [CS Lewis 'Fern Seeds and Elephants']
Catholics here in America resemble westboro baptists more than anything, cant go two sentences without bashing gays or flirting with ideas like fascism and civil war, meanwhile catholics in the UK: just a couple lads in a canoe talking about what fatherhood means to them, having a lovely time not hating anyone. Refreshing to be honest.
Very kind of you to say this. I would not hide the fact that this channel does hold some strong views, at least in the eyes of a post Christian world; no contraception, anti abortion, no sex before marriage, no remarriage and a variety of other terribly oppressive rules designed by old white men to ruin all fun forever and with it prevent human flourishing. All that said, included within these views is to treat one's fellow man with charity in thought, word and deed. We'll be judged on that as much as anything. I can say that you take an atheist outlook? A difficult position to back up.
@@oneofnine of course. I wouldn't expect us to have worldviews that agree on everything, but still it's nice to see this in a context where people just have personal convictions and talk about them, without acting like "communism" is upon us and the sky is falling. As for my atheism, i don't believe in a god for the same reason any empirically minded person would say they don't believe something, because sufficient evidence has not been presented to overcome my doubts. I don't believe in bigfoot because the photos are blurry and the stories don't make sense. Doesn't mean I can positively declare there are absolutely no large, wooly hominids out there, but I doubt it😂 In the same way, someone tells me there's an invisible being who answers prayers and 2000 years ago he became a baby, but also he was still god, and he did all these miracles that proved he was a god, but people for some reason still didn't believe him even after all those miracles and declared him a heretic and had him executed, it's a convoluted web of claims upon claims that read like a developing mythological legend instead of history, and can't be tested by any truly objective and unbiased methodology. Surely an omniscient god would have known ahead of time that retellings of his miraculous deeds would be questioned by the logical minds he created, muddled by quarreling denominations, and justifiably dismissed as legend and hyperbole as the centuries rolled by? I was born and raised catholic, but after applying Sagan's dragon and Hitchen's razor, I just couldn't maintain that worldview and look at myself in the mirror. But I wish you well all the same✌
100% The main course is here to stay. Big family from Cornwall up next. Trailer hopefully Monday. Made a recent push on mens content. Sore lack of it out there.
@@oneofnine Thank you! So glad to head you men share. It is good for women to hear the masculine Catholic perspective. Looking forward to the next one coming with Maria also. We appreciate you both so much. Takes our minds off of what is happening in the Vatican and focus on living the Catholic life in the trenches no matter what comes our way. Keep up the good work!

Martin, thank you. Will it be a celestial river by the time I get you on?

Is Maria going to have any more programs for the ladies?

Herons aren't beautiful, they are terribly predatory.
