Three Marks of Manhood 06/19/2010
"These days it seems that our culture has become obsessed with the idea that everyone and everything should be equal. This ideology has taken root in the Church, leaving many Catholics ignorant (or disdainful) of the hierarchies found in our Tradition—particularly the patriarchal structure of the Christian family.
Now a new title from Saint Benedict Press, The Three Marks of Manhood, reveals that the time has come for men to re-discover Church teaching about patriarchy and take up their God-ordained role as priest, prophet, and king of their families.
“The establishment of a new Christian patriarchy is the most urgent need of our times,” states Three Marks author G. C. Dilsaver. “The Church, and . . . the family are under attack as never before.”
The Three Marks of Manhood challenges the modern world’s preconceptions of marriage and the family. “We must adopt a new and untainted kind of patriarchy in which the husband’s authority is unequivocal, yet formed by humility and self-sacrificial love,” Dilsaver explains. “Only then can men lead their families to become what God intended.”
This not-to-be-missed title offers sound counsel for both men and women to build strong marriages and families.
