Ep 171 - The Rosary: Heaven’s Weapon with Shaun McAfee

Men, it’s time to reclaim your weapon. In this episode of The Manly Catholic, James sits down once again with author and lay Dominican Shaun McAfee to discuss his newest children’s book from TAN Books, "Saints and Sacramentals: Saint Dominic and the Rosary" and why the Rosary remains one of the most powerful spiritual weapons in the Church’s arsenal today.
Shaun shares the origins of the Rosary, tracing it back to St. Dominic’s battle against heresy in 1208, when Our Lady herself gave him the “battering ram” against the enemy: the Angelic Psalter. He unpacks how this Marian prayer transformed the Church, crushed falsehood, and became the spiritual sword of saints, soldiers, and families for centuries.
James and Shaun challenge Catholic men to stop viewing the Rosary as an old lady’s devotion and start wielding it as the weapon for warriors. The discussion dives into why Our Lady chose something so simple yet so profound, how the Rosary defends the home, and why it must be restored to the heart of every Catholic household today.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The true story of how St. Dominic received the Rosary from Our Lady.
- Why the Rosary is still relevant and needed in our modern spiritual war.
- How parents can introduce prayer and sacramentals to their children without frustration.
- How to reclaim the Rosary as a weapon for yourself and your family.
Challenge for Men:
Pick up your Rosary every day this week
Products/References Mentioned:
- Saints and Sacramentals: Saint Dominic and the Rosary by Shaun McAfee
- Compendium of Sacramentals by Shaun McAfee
- 20 Answers: Relics and Sacramentals
- Article: “The Controversial History of the Rosary”
Powerful Quotes:
- “Our Lady called the Rosary the battering ram against the enemy — and that’s exactly what it is.”
- “Truths don’t stop being true. The Rosary endures because it works — it forms saints.”
- “The Rosary is a gift. If we treat it like that, our children will learn to cherish it too.”
Key Takeaway for Catholic Men:
The Rosary is not a relic of the past — it’s your daily weapon of protection, purification, and perseverance. Pray it, teach it, and defend your home with it.
