Here is what AI says

In Catholicism, expressing sorrow and seeking forgiveness involves both an internal act of contrition and an external act of apology. A sincere apology, rooted in genuine remorse, is essential for reconciling with others and with God. This includes acknowledging wrongdoing, expressing genuine sorrow, and taking steps to make amends. 

Act of Contrition:

• Traditional: "O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin. Amen." according to Vatican News.
• Other versions: There are also alternative Act of Contrition prayers. 
  
  

Elements of a Sincere Apology:

• Admitting the Error: Acknowledging that you have done wrong. 
• Expressing Sorrow: Feeling and expressing genuine remorse for the hurt caused. 
• Acknowledging the Harm: Understanding how your actions affected others. 
• Taking Responsibility: Not making excuses or blaming others. 
• Making Amends: Taking concrete steps to repair the harm caused, if possible. 
• Seeking Forgiveness: Whether from God or from others, expressing a desire for reconciliation. 

Importance of Sincere Apology in Catholicism:

• Reconciliation with God:
  Expressing sorrow and seeking forgiveness is essential for receiving absolution in the Sacrament of Penance. 
• Reconciliation with Others:

Genuine apologies are crucial for building and maintaining healthy relationships. Growth in Virtue:The process of apologizing and making amends helps cultivate humility, compassion, and a greater love for God and neighbor. [/list]

I think most aren't interested in having this conversation because the basis of it is directed against men without any consideration of context.

Are men mean, aggressive, and slow to apologize? Sure. But how is that conversation remotely interesting when we live in a world that is trying to annihilate white men? Every evil recognized by the modern world is blamed on men- and not in a historical sense, it's actually blamed on men currently living. Compare that to how women's agendas are promoted everywhere and incessantly. You see where I'm coming from? I understand from your point of view(the same for most other women, as far as I can tell) men just appear angry and mean. Fair enough, maybe we are. But at least try to understand where our negative sentiment comes from. We have to fight harder than you to get into university, to get jobs, we never get praise or sympathy, marriage and family(the things that every healthy man truly desires) have been made almost inaccessible. Shall I go on?

I saw on a thread recently a female poster mocked a male poster by calling him an "incel." I hope that her mouth tastes of ash for the rest of her days. How dare someone who pretends to be catholic utilize Jєωιѕн attacks on Christian men? That term is used to utterly delegitimise the real frustrations of young men who live in a world that hates them.

This is the context. And in this context, people look at your thread based openly off of Jєωιѕн pop-psychology  and they ignore it.

I don't know.  Maybe because it could help us all interact better/be better Catholics .... here as well as IRL?  And I would argue for those young men looking for a spouse, it might come in handy.

You're absolutely right. Women go crazy over guys who apologize. Even better if they have a lisp.

So is apologizing something effeminate to you?

Strawman.

Read my big post again. You'll get it one of these days.

Horatius, I am sorry for not acknowledging your feelings/concerns.  Yes, you and other men here have valid concerns.  That doesn't mean we can't try to have an objective Catholic conversation about making apologies to one another (whether on the forum or with others in real life).   

So is apologizing something effeminate to you?

When an innocent man is forced by implied threat of losing something he values (his children, his house, his job, his good name, his freedom) to grovel at the feet of an evil woman, yes, that is effeminate.  I vomit it out of my mouth.  

Gray,

I found this article and skimmed it.  Despite being Novus Ordo, it seemed to do a good job regarding the topic (although the title focuses on Lent, it speaks about apologizing with others as well as God):
