First and foremost the Paladin Institute is a Roman Catholic evangelical organization that seeks to save the souls of men by helping then apply christianity to their daily lives.
The Paladin Institute decodes the gospel, borrows from the greatest philosophers in history, offers a tactical plan for daily living, and recognizes righteousness as the primary goal of all men.
To separate ourselves from others we use the title of “Paladin".” A Paladin was a medieval knight that swore a sacred oath of service to a king or emperor. They were so trusted by their king that they were ordered to work within the palace itself; thus the term “Paladin.” The Paladin Institute has adopted this term as a title bestowed upon a man who lives according The Way of Jesus Christ, maintains a disciplined lifestyle, and inspires others with love and service.
Our goal is to produce the finest men in the world.
We lead by example.
We create change through inspiration.
We serve with love and gratitude.
What is The Paladin Institute?
The Paladin Institute is an umbrella organization that houses various initiatives that teach men how to become Paladins. PaladinInstitute should be a harmonization between para military military and spiritual organizational tactics there should be a feeling of military given the spiritual warfare and there should also be an overlay of real life preparedness and real life violence prevention real life self-defense but ultimately the theme and the feeling of the organization should be very military oriented and ver very confident in all abilities of a good to go mentality
What is a Paladin?
A Paladin in the pinnacle of masculine design.
What is Masculine Design?
Masculine Design is the practical definition of the ideal/perfect man.
What is the Ideal Man?
There has only been one perfect man, Jesus Christ. However, the practical definition of masculine perfection cannot use God incarnate as the only answer: the ethical bar is way too high and there are numerous and obvious historical contextual obstacles. We need to use the example of Jesus in a way that inspires us, but necessarily allows for the inevitable occurrence of sin. We may seek to become christ-like, but we can’t BE Christ. We CAN be Paladins.
If Paladins are the pinnacle of masculine design and Jesus is the template of the Perfect Man, then we must create a way of life that blends the Church’s teaching on Jesus with the mundane. Fortunately most of the mundane is simple and easily derived by me.
Explanation of the necessity of the Paladin Oath and Paladin Way
WHY - Five Parts
Because you don’t know. Necessity is the mother of invention.
If you did know, things would be better. You would be better so the world would be better.
There is an answer to every question. There is an answer to the greatest question.
Answers are objective and clear. The way must be clear.
Love for god and for others mandates improvement.
WHAT - Five Parts
A template and identity of what a righteous person is and how they live.
A system of rational action that leads to righteous living.
An understanding of what it means to live well,
A correct way that highlights the incorrect ways as well as giving direction.
A repeatable set of actions that inspire others to do likewise those achieving the original goal of making the world better.
HOW - Five Parts
Everyday excellence. Everyday is the way and nothing else matters.
If nothing else matters the way becomes easier.
Nothing is more important than the way. It is absolute.
If we have an absolute fact or foundation to work off of then we can build up.
There is no changing others, only inspiring.
WHO - Five Parts
The man. The ones we forgot.
The young man. The ones we didn’t forgot but could not serve.
The older man. The ones that did the forgetting, but need to be the example most.
The Mothers. The ones that must do the job of two.
The powerful. The ones that made it on their own, and now need a compass of purpose.
WHEN - Five Parts
There will be stages. Nothing is done all at once.
The first stage is acceptance of loss, ignorance, and need.
The second stage is experimentation in commands. Longest.
The third stage is absolute acceptance of the way.
The fifth stage is evangelizing and teaching.
