Are you searching for answers to life’s struggles? The key to overcoming challenges and becoming the best version of yourself lies in one word—virtue. In this conversation, Drew Taylor of Catholic Link sits down with Dave DiNuzzo, founder of TrueManhood.com, to explore how embracing virtue leads to authentic Catholic manhood and a fulfilling life.
The Foundation of Virtue: Why It Matters
According to Dave, virtue isn’t just a lofty ideal; it’s the blueprint for living as true men of God. Many men instinctively seek purpose, but our modern culture suppresses this intrinsic desire. Virtue, modeled perfectly by Jesus Christ, provides the answer to this longing.
“Virtue is the habitual and firm disposition to do the good.” – Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1803
What is True Catholic Masculinity?
The world has distorted masculinity, often portraying it as a power struggle or a dominance game. However, true masculinity isn’t about overpowering others—it’s about rising above childishness and embracing responsibility. According to Dave, a man is either growing in virtue or slipping into immaturity.
Key Characteristics of True Masculinity:
- Courage in the face of adversity
- Prudence in decision-making
- Self-discipline in all aspects of life
- Authentic love, which seeks the good of others
“Masculinity isn’t about power—it’s about virtue. Become the man you were created to be.”
– Dave DiNuzzo
