By Julian Kwasniewski, Catholic World Report - Wherever you live, Bear Woznick’s new book 12 Rules for Manliness: Where Have All the Cowboys Gone brings some of their wisdom right to you. “The world needs more real men. The world needs more cowboys.”... Woznick’s sentiment is echoed by Catholic men’s guides of various stripes, but few authors have the credentials he has: real time in the saddle, in the waves, on the road... “Men,” Woznick says, “we need to fan into flame the hidden embers in the ashes of traditional virtues to put a fire in our belly that will make us strong and maybe even a little dangerous.”... This book takes an explicitly Catholic and Christian approach to virtue building, acknowledging that building real virtue is impossible without divine assistance.

By Henry Sire, One Peter Five - Speaking for myself, one of the many doctrines of Pope Francis with which I fully agree is that “the reality is greater than the idea”. In this case, the reality is that Pope Francis is a politician; and, as with all politicians, his pronouncements are slogans in his essential aim of courting power and popularity. Fr Lanzetta, however, has chosen a more painstaking approach, that of analysing the Pope’s words in detail and thereby pointing out the shallowness and incoherence they represent. From both methods the greater reality emerges.
