Modern culture tells men they're inherently oppressive and tells women the Church despises them — both lies. Modern culture often pits men and women against each other — and even Christians are getting caught in the polarization. In this video, Brian unpacks the roots of anti-Catholic slander, the failures of radical feminism, the resentments forming among young men, and how the Christian tradition—not paganism, not secularism—offers the only real path toward healing between the sexes. Along the way, he explains why the Church has never taught that women are soulless or inferior, how Christianity historically elevated the dignity of women, and why faithful women's voices (including in Catholic media) remain important today.

"Asking for proof of a miracle is like demanding proof of the proof; miracles are the proof."

Responding to a question by @GospelSimplicity

#Miracles function as God's own verification system: events that exceed natural explanation and require no specialized knowledge to understand. #Eucharistic miracles, especially those scientifically examined and repeatedly revealing AB blood and living heart tissue, serve as external, divine endorsements of the Catholic Church's sacramental claims. They demonstrate that God accompanies #Catholic #worship with signs exactly where the Church claims #Christ is truly present. Demanding "proof of the proof" misunderstands miracles: they aren't puzzles to solve but signs meant to be witnessed, inviting humility rather than hubris.

Modesty is a virtue that sits in the mean between vanity and slovenliness, so honoring the occasion of Mass, not avoiding attention, is what actually matters.

This video unpacks the "Would she be welcome in your church?" meme and the broader assumptions behind it. Brian challenges the stereotype that traditional Catholics are unwelcoming while progressives are inclusive, shares personal stories, and explains why modesty, decorum, and appropriate dress are moral questions rooted in virtue—not aesthetics or personal preference. Drawing from lived experience and St. Thomas Aquinas, he argues that "externals" matter because they reflect inward dispositions, especially in the context of worship.

"Protestantism cannot surpass Catholicism in its claims because it depends on it for its very existence. A stream can't rise higher than its source; a derivative cannot exceed its principle." Sponsor: https://catholicmatch.com/ Support the channel by visiting: https://brianholdsworth.ca/help

When I first became a Christian, I wanted to find the Church Jesus actually founded. But the deeper I looked into Protestantism and Catholicism, the more one thing became clear: Protestantism has no real unity apart from its opposition to the Catholic Church. In this video, I explore why Protestantism's identity depends on Catholicism, why visible unity was central to Christ's prayer in John 17, and how the early Church's structure, sacraments, and authority leave only one credible option for anyone seeking the original Christian faith.

We're never actually evaluating the best arguments for or against God; we're evaluating the best arguments we can understand. Which says more about us than about the truth being evaluated. Sponsor: https://catholicmatch.com/Support the channel: https://brianholdsworth.ca/help

Sometimes, faith isn't a conclusion we reason our way into, it's a step we dare to take when reason reaches its limits. In this episode, Brian shares a recent conversation with a viewer who's sincerely searching for truth but feels stuck between compelling arguments for and against God. Through that story, he unpacks why many of our deepest choices, including faith, can't rest on intellect alone, and why the pursuit of meaning, happiness, community, and eternal hope still make Christianity the most rational choice of all.

Conservatives Need to Stop Prioritizing Unity Over Truth

Sponsor: https://catholicmatch.com Support the channel by visiting: https://brianholdsworth.ca/help

The Church of England's decision to nominate a woman as Archbishop of Canterbury has sparked yet another fracture in global Anglicanism — a vivid example of how progressives often prize ideology over unity. Meanwhile, conservatives in both Church and politics repeatedly choose compromise and patience, valuing cohesion even as institutions crumble around them.

In this video, Brian Holdsworth argues that conservatives must stop mistaking tolerance for virtue, recover the courage of the early Church, and push back against ideologies that destroy faith, culture, and community.

"Anything not properly ordered becomes disordered, and the Church is no exception. If we give lesser goods priority over greater ones, the effects will always reveal disorder."

We often assume moral choices are about good versus evil—but what happens when the choice is between two goods? In this video, Brian Holdsworth explores how disordered priorities among competing goods have led to the Church's current crises—from collapsing vocations to confusion about faith and worship.

By looking at the hierarchy of goods, the nature of supernatural faith, and the consequences of misplaced priorities like ecumenism and social activism, this video makes the case that the Church's renewal depends on recovering right order—beginning with faith and the liturgy.

"If you blame the Latin Mass for dissent, you're necessarily claiming the Latin Mass is harmful — and that's something the Church can never say." Sponsor: https://catholicmatch.com/ Join the Community: https://brianholdsworth.ca/help When Catholic commentator Mike Lewis claimed that Traditional Latin Mass communities are "not in communion" with the wider Church, he crossed a serious line. In this video, I respond directly to his article, correcting false claims and showing why Latin Mass Catholics are among the most faithful in belief and practice.
