Crisis of Young Men 2025: A Catholic Response to Nick Fuentes, Andrew Tate & Fatherlessness
Description
The numbers are brutal and undeniable: 60 percent of Gen Z men are single, and suicide rates among young males have quadrupled since 1980. Scott Galloway’s new book, Notes on Being a Man, sounds the alarm on purpose and fatherlessness, while desperate young men drift toward Nick Fuentes’ rage and Andrew Tate’s hustle, chasing shadows after the Liver King scandal exposed the hollowness of steroid-fueled alpha myths. Helen Andrews’ essay, “The Great Feminization,” diagnoses a culture that neuters boys, and Walter Ong’s Fighting for Life reveals how competition and ritual once forged men into protectors and providers.
In this episode, Andrew Petiprin and Robert Mixa cut through the noise to ask where Christian Humanism offers a truer path: raising sons who reject screens, sin, and self-destruction for virtue, brotherhood, and mission.
