Pride among Catholic men rarely looks like arrogance. What men don't realize is that it surfaces as control, self-reliance, withdrawal, or even habits that appear virtuous on the surface. In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, John Heinen and Devin Schadt are joined by Patrick O’Hearn to examine why pride is so difficult to recognize in ourselves, and why it quietly blocks growth in the spiritual life, marriage, and leadership. They unpack why the Litany of Humility remains one of the Church’s most demanding prayers, and how it exposes attachments that many men don’t realize they’re carrying. 🟢 Get Patrick's Book for 20% Off Today - Code Gentleman20 https://sophiainstitute.com/product/humility-of-the-saints/ Patrick O'Hearn's Site - https://patrickrohearn.com/ 🙏 Litany of Humility - https://catholicgentleman.com/2026/01/the-litany-of-humility/ 🟢 Join Catholic Gentleman+ for exclusive formation, full sessions, and a brotherhood of men pursuing holiness: https://catholicgentlemanplus.com 👉 Get Devin Schadt’s book The Rule: https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-rule/ Coupon Code for 20% Off: Gentleman20 Learn more about your ad choices.
