Men, it’s time to reclaim your weapon. In this episode of The Manly Catholic, James sits down once again with author and lay Dominican Shaun McAfee to discuss his newest children’s book from TAN Books, "Saints and Sacramentals: Saint Dominic and the Rosary" and why the Rosary remains one of the most powerful spiritual weapons in the Church’s arsenal today.
Shaun shares the origins of the Rosary, tracing it back to St. Dominic’s battle against heresy in 1208, when Our Lady herself gave him the “battering ram” against the enemy: the Angelic Psalter. He unpacks how this Marian prayer transformed the Church, crushed falsehood, and became the spiritual sword of saints, soldiers, and families for centuries.
James and Shaun challenge Catholic men to stop viewing the Rosary as an old lady’s devotion and start wielding it as the weapon for warriors. The discussion dives into why Our Lady chose something so simple yet so profound, how the Rosary defends the home, and why it must be restored to the heart of every Catholic household today.
