Aquinas on Why Philosophy Isn’t Enough

In this episode, we look at the VERY FIRST THING Saint Thomas said in his most famous work, the “Summa Theologiae”: the first part, first question, first article. Aquinas asks the question, “Is philosophy enough? Why do we need Sacred Scripture?”

Find out how he answers this and related questions like:

– Does philosophy truly cover all there is to know?
– Is it okay to try to understand things above natural reason?
– Why does God reveal things to us if we can know them through our own reason?

Lent: Do or do not, there is no try!

Lent is here again! So it’s a good time for a bonus episode about how we should be preparing for it.

We talk about:
– Advice on how to give up something for Lent (hint: keep it simple and don’t be vague)
– Why fasting is good for us, according to St. Thomas Aquinas
– What I’m giving up for Lent (and why I’m super nervous about it)

Our listeners also weigh in on what they’re giving up for Lent.

7 Reasons to LOVE St. Thomas Aquinas

In this episode, I explain seven reasons why St. Thomas Aquinas was a great writer, teacher, and saint. Here’s your chance to get to know the Angelic Doctor as a person and learn:

– What Aquinas was like as a kid, and why his own brothers kidnapped him
– What he did when he found a prostitute in his room
– How he found the best arguments both for and against his own positions
– Some of the fantastic questions he asked that we still ask today, like do dogs go to Heaven? (And I tell you what his answers are)
– Why he said you should cry and take hot baths (yes, he said that).

I hope that after this episode, you’ll love Aquinas even more!

Why More Young Catholics are Identifying as “Traditional” w/ Brian Holdsworth

In this episode, I chat with my friend Brian Holdsworth—web designer, videographer, and YouTube show host—about something we’re noticing in the Church today: younger Catholics (as well as not-so-younger Catholics, like me) are identifying more and more as “traditional.”

Pull up a barstool with us as we explore this and related questions like:

– What is modernism and how does it affect our spirituality?
– Was the way Mass was done before Vatican II really so great?
– What is going to a traditional Mass like today?
– And a whole lot more!

Pornography VS iconography w/ Jonathan Pageau

In this episode, I talk with artist and public speaker Jonathan Pageau about the idea that pornography is “anti-iconography.” We talk about Jonathan’s work as an iconographer and then explore these topics:

– How pornography is an idol
– Whether you can depict nudity in art without sensuality
– Depicting God the Father and why today’s iconographers don’t do it
– We even discuss some COVID-related topics!

Pull up a barstool and join us for this great conversation!

From Atheist to Catholic Priest w/ Fr. Mark Goring

In this episode, I’m joined around the bar table by Fr. Mark Goring, a member of the Companions of the Cross and the host of his self-titled YouTube channel. He shares his interesting story about how he went from being an atheist to becoming a Catholic priest.

Fr. Mark tells us about:
– How his dad responded to his teenage questions about faith
– The first time he felt the presence of the Holy Spirit
– The book that made him start thinking about the priesthood.

Grab a pint and get comfortable as we listen to this great story!
