“Boys Adrift.” “The Boy Crisis.” “The War Against Boys.” This is a sampling of book titles released in recent decades about the crisis of masculinity in the modern world. Something has gone wrong in the formation of men. In the aftermath of tectonic civilizational shifts—from industrialism to the sexual revolution to cultural secularization—men of all ages have struggled to find their true identities. Without a strong and healthy masculine presence, many families and communities have suffered.
A nationwide Catholic men’s group, Fraternus, co-founded by Jason Craig, wants to address this crisis by helping men and boys rediscover their identities, grow into mature fathers, and thereby renew society.
