There is no doubt that Jesus Christ is the model man, par excellence. However, to posit that manhood started/originated with Catholicism indirectly asserts that St. Joseph, pre-Nativity, and all the Patriarchs, were not quite manly, at least not in a perfect manner. Yes, the Saints of the New Law often surpass those of the Old, but it is wrong to leave the impression that the Saints of the Old Law were not up to par in some way.
