0:00.0 | Hello, and welcome to Focus. The Catholic Dance was podcast for living, understanding, and |
0:10.2 | defending your Catholic faith. I'm Sy Kellet, your host, Carl Rusard, our guest this time. |
0:15.8 | And we're going to talk a little bit about religion as it relates to men because it does |
0:21.6 | seem, I don't know, the last time you were in a Catholic church, but that more women |
0:27.1 | are taking seriously the call to participate in the faith and to live the faith than men. |
0:34.5 | That might be a misimpression, but it certainly seems to be the case. It doesn't seem to be |
0:38.2 | the case at the synagogue. It doesn't seem to be the case at the mosque or at the Buddhist |
0:43.4 | temple, but it certainly seems the case among Christians that we have lost some of the |
0:47.4 | sense of the manliness of religion. And so we thought, who should we ask? How about |
0:52.9 | the manliest man that we know? Carla Rusard. Hi, Carla. Thanks for coming. Hey, Sy, it's |

1:18.4 | out with why it is manly actually to be religious to embrace religious faith? Yeah, I think |
1:25.1 | immediately answering the question that you just posed, if it were not a manly thing to |
1:31.1 | be in relationship with Jesus or it would not be a manly thing to be in love with Christ, |
1:36.7 | then it would not be a manly thing to be in relationship with Jesus. As if somehow being |
1:41.3 | in a relationship with someone is excluded from being a man. And in particular, in this |
1:46.2 | case, a relationship with our Lord who has God made flesh. And this actually tees up nicely, |
1:52.9 | Sy, this topic of the manliness of religion. I've been trying to think through this issue |
1:59.4 | quite a bit. And so I'm basically just sharing with you some of the fruits of my thinking so |
2:04.5 | far. And I do acknowledge that I need to think more about it. Oh, this is going to be a great |
