A non-Thomistic Thomists? Awkward moments with Bishop Robert Barron? And apparently Aquinas loved making lists? We’re going to have a great time in this episode of Pints With Aquinas.

I sit down with Michael Knowles from the Daily Wire to discuss objections some Catholics have for voting for Trump in 2020.

Today, I'm joined around the bar table by my good friend, Fr. Gregory Pine, to discuss "10-Minute Topics," based on suggestions from Pints with Aquinas patrons. So, sit back, and learn something. And maybe drink an adult beverage while you're at it!

In this episode of Pints with Aquinas, we'll take a look at Aquinas' commentary on St. Paul's Letter to the Ephesians. Specifically, we will delve into what he has to say about putting on the armor of God.

Today, I'm joined around the bar table by my good friend and Catholic Answers' apologist Jimmy Akin to talk about what Aquinas had to say about the Occult. (Cue spooky music).

Wow, Aquinas has a LOT to say about this topic.

Here are just a few of the things you'll learn about during my conversation with Jimmy:

- What Aquinas had to say about Psychic Powers

- Werewolves

- Crystal Healing

- Astrology

- Ghosts

So, buckle up, turn on all the lights so you don't get scared, and let's talk about the Occult!

APOLOGETICS CONFERENCE: https://www.virtualcatholicconference.com/earlyapologetics2020

This is the third and final part of a three-part series we've been doing on John 8:1-11 (The woman caught in adultery).

🔴 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd

📖 Here is the text from the ESV: but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Early in the morning, he came again to the temple. All the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them. The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?” This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. But when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.”

Have you noticed just how bad we are at arguing these days, especially online?

Take a look at your Facebook feed during this election year or just scroll through the comments on previous “Pints with Aquinas” episodes, and you’ll see exactly what I mean.

Sometimes it feels like we’re overly eager to misunderstand each other.

Today we’re joined around the bar table by my good friend Fr. Gregory Pine. Together we’re going to discuss 7 things you can learn from St. Thomas Aquinas about how to argue effectively, persuasively and charitably.

This is the second in a three-part series we're doing on John 8:1-11 (The woman caught in adultery).

Today on Pints with Aquinas, I'm joined by Fr. James Brent, O.P. Fr. James is professor of philosophy at the Dominican House of Studies, and one of the most brilliant, articulate, and convincing people I’ve ever met.

During this conversation, we dig into the philosophical soil in which atheism grows — particularly the materialist, mechanicist, nominalist, skeptic, and relativist worldviews so prevalent in our culture. We’ll tackle the BIG issues, like:

• Why saying there is a God or there is no God represent two radically different worldviews

• How atheism is, historically, a minority position, and what’s happened to change this minority position in modern times

• Why true science is actually neutral about the question of God’s existence

• Why it feels like you’re rejecting science when you reject materialism (HINT: You’re not!)

• The five negative positions that constitute “big tent” Platonism, and why this list is invaluable in discussions with atheists...

If you enjoy BIG conversations, then grab your notepad and pen because you’re really going to enjoy this episode!

Today we'll take a look at what Thomas Aquinas has to say about our Lord's words in Matthew 6:5: "And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward."

That's right ... we're looking at one verse. Why not two? Because you can't handle two! ... and Neither can I.

Today we talk to our Lord's words, "let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid." And we see what Thomas Aquinas has to say on the matter.

Also, here's the prayer I wanted to share with you.

Father, I give you thanks, for you have qualified me to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. You have delivered me from the dominion of darkness and transferred me to the kingdom of your beloved Son in whom I have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

You are the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. By you all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through you and for you. And you are before all things, and in you all things hold together. You are the head of the body, the church. You are the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything you might be preeminent.

For in you all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through you all things have been reconciled, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of your cross.

And though I was once alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, you have now reconciled in your body of flesh by your death, in order to present me holy and blameless and above reproach before you.

Col 1: 12-22
