Manly Catholic: Igniting Men to Light the World on Fire Ep 176 - Baptism Is War: Why Every Man Must Know the Power of the Old Rite
Most Catholic men have never been told the truth about what happens at baptism. Not the watered-down version. The real thing. Baptism is a confrontation with the kingdom of darkness. It is the moment a soul is ripped from Satan’s grip and claimed for Jesus Christ. And in this episode, we open the doors to the old Roman Rite of Baptism, a rite forged in the heart of the Church, saturated with exorcisms, sacred signs, and the unmistakable authority of Christ.
Father Dom walks step-by-step through the ancient rite that formed countless saints. A rite Satan despises. A rite packed with commands, renunciations, blessings, confrontations, and symbols that speak clearly: this child no longer belongs to the enemy.
We explore the prayers the demons fear. The salt of wisdom. The triple breath of God’s own ruach. The spittle of Christ echoing Mark 7. The repeated exorcisms. The renunciation of Satan. The chrism that marks a man forever. The white garment of purity. The candle of vigilance. And the final declaration of peace spoken over a soul newly liberated.
This episode challenges every man to stop treating baptism like a family photo-op. Baptism is a battlefield. A transfer of allegiance. A declaration of war against hell.
Whether you’ve been baptized for decades or you’ve never taken the time to understand what happened to your soul, you need this episode. Because if you don’t understand the power of baptism, you will never understand your identity as a Catholic man or the spiritual war you were born into.
And if you are not yet baptized, this is your call. Do not wait. Eternity is at stake.
Challenge to the Men:
Go to Scripture today. Find every passage on baptism. Read them slowly. Pray with them. Then open the Catechism and read the section on baptism. If you are not baptized, or your children are not baptized, act now. Do not delay. This is war.
Three Powerful Quotes from the Transcript
- “Without the Church, I’m a weakling compared to Satan. Without the Church, I’m nothing.”
- “Baptism is the most ultimate exorcism. It tears a soul out of Satan’s kingdom forever.”
- “Whoever God they belong to, that’s my God.”
Key Takeaway for Men
Understand your baptism. Live from it. Because baptism wasn’t a cute ceremony. It was your enlistment into Christ’s army. Start living like a man who has already declared war on hell.
