Mandeville, LA – The topic of masculinity is an issue drawing increasing theoretical reflection. As Harvey Mansfield has recently taken great pains to demonstrate, manliness is a topic that has attracted and deserves serious study (Mansfield 2006). In a world that seems ever more to aspire to fashion a gender-neutral understanding of social and political affairs, the question of what manliness is and whether manliness should be affirmed has assumed pressing significance. I believe that the type of character to be found in the Catholic Hemingway Hero represents a form of masculinity that is credible in the contemporary age, and which is all the more so when viewed in comparison to rival views of religiously grounded masculine revivalism. The Hemingway Catholic Hero supplies a plausible account of masculinity for the modern world, a world that has been deeply shaped by the rise of the Women’s Movement. Feminism has affirmed the value of female strength, and the inclusion of women in traditionally masculine roles in social, cultural, economic, and political life.
The Catholic Hero can affirm this power and inclusiveness. He is not prone to resentment or to seek revenge for lost privilege. He can affirm the spectacle of feminine power as part of the world he loves, in fact, he is inclined to recognize in ordinary women a capacity for great strength. Yet at the same time he himself remains strong, while arresting the rise of any arrogance; he knows all shall perish and not achieve their mortal desires. Further, his inner strength allows him to see the value of life in all its complexity, without reducing that very complexity to simplified doctrine or dogma. In all, his is a way of life that would appear to be quite relevant to modem times. – Hemingway on Politics and Rebellion edited by Lauretta Conklin Frederking
