In a world increasingly shallow and distracted, Sword&Spade offers an antidote—deep, thoughtful engagement with the topics that matter most to Catholic men and their families.
As a quarterly print magazine, Sword&Spade encourages men to step away from the digital noise and dive into intellectual, yet accessible, discussions.
No content in the “clouds” here. Sword&Spade is a print magazine that helps you escape the screen, engage with truth, and apply it at home.
Each issue of Sword&Spade is built upon solid philosophy, beautiful art, and the teachings of the Catholic Church.
Trust the experienced, not merely the “experts.” Our editors and authors know your challenges, because they are in the trenches with you.
Each issue serves as a catalyst for authentic conversations about virtue, culture, and living well in the modern world. Its content helps men cultivate deeper households and more resilient communities, becoming the fuel for discussion. This publication is at the heart of Fraternus Mens Squads.

Simple. Christianity has always had a special relationship with the written word, especially in our understanding of truth and our habits of prayer which require concentration and contemplation. Sword&Spade offers a bridge back into the world of deep reading and the formation of the mind.
