The Government Failed at Fatherhood, by Victor Joecks

By Victor Joecks, Patriot Post - The government spent decades trying to make fathers unnecessary. The failure of that experiment put society on the long-term path to collapse... Father’s Day is Sunday. It’s much less popular than Mother’s Day for a sad reason. Fewer fathers are involved in their children’s lives. That’s caused by two main factors, the first being children born to single moms. In 2022, almost 40% of births were to unmarried women, according to the CDC. The second reason is the prevalence of divorce.

The Second Silence of Adam: A Father’s Call to Defend Modesty, by Patrick O’Hearn

By Patrick O’Hearn, Crisis Magazine - Modesty is one of the lost virtues of our fallen world. As summer approaches, so begins the real test of the custody of the eyes. But the deeper issue of modesty isn’t primarily about what women wear. It begins and ends with fathers... Sadly, many Catholic fathers want to be liked by their children and so they remain silent when their daughter wears leggings in public and skimpy skirts at Mass. Or maybe we fathers are too busy with our careers and pursuits that our daughters’ emotional needs are neglected. We as men also need to model modesty in how we dress.

An Homage to Fatherhood: Reclaiming the Role of Spiritual Leader in the Domestic Church, by Mark Haas

By Mark Haas, Catholic Exchange - On this Sunday, dedicated to honoring fathers, the Church has a powerful opportunity—not only to offer thanks for the men who give life, guidance, and protection to their families—but to renew our understanding of the irreplaceable role fathers play in passing on the Catholic Faith. The Catholic Church has long understood the family as a “domestic church,” a term rooted in the early Church and echoed at the Second Vatican Council (Lumen Gentium, 11). In this domestic church, the father traditionally served as a kind of household priest—leading prayers, teaching the Faith, and modeling virtue.
