The idea of male friendship has undergone a shift for the worse in the wake of the turbulent, and failed, sexual revolution. It's not just relationships between men and women that have suffered; relations between men have also suffered. Men, Christian or otherwise, don't want to "get too close" out of fear that it seems either gay or something only women do. But real friendship is built on virtue, and the root of virtue is the Latin vir, or male adult. What are men afraid of? Adam Minehan and David Niles, creators and hosts of The Catholic Man Show podcast, are lifelong friends and talk about the lost art of manly closeness. SUBSCRIBE, RATE AND REVIEW THIS PODCAST. THANKS!
