  • Musings on the Traditional Latin Mass with Mr. Rocky Brittain

    9 NOV 2022 · The Traditional Latin Mass - what is it? Who goes there? If I start attending the Latin Mass will I become a Pope-hater? Will I all of a sudden get forced to join a rebellious cult of Catholics? Or, is it time to progress forward and abandon the 1962 Roman Missal? Should the Catholic Church consider taking elements of the Latin Mass and adding to the Ordinary Form of the Mass? I want to go to the Latin Mass but I am afraid to? I don’t know how to? What if I am judged? What if my children are too noisy? Well, if you have ever wondered about the Traditional Latin Mass, today, we are happy to have husband, father, theologian and friend Mr. Rocky Brittain on our show.

Real Catholic Man is a podcast whose mission is to learn together and to encourage and fortify Catholic Men to seek a principled life. Strong men are incredibly important in our culture and in the Catholic faith. Now more than ever, we need a strong male presence in our Catholic communities. We need real men who are not afraid to stand up for their beliefs, hold each other accountable and spread the word that men need each other and our families, our church needs us to be as strong as we possibly can be. How are we supposed to embrace our manhood in a world that is constantly trying to attack us? We will attempt to answer that question and to help each other to find new solutions to such a dilemma.

Each week, we will feature guests who will help us along our journey to becoming the best and strongest men that we can be, so that we can take that strength back into our homes, our families, our parishes and our communities. Please come join us along this journey as we learn and grow together, and as we renew our commitment to being strong male role models.
