What is the Armor of God?

In this week’s episode of Pints with Aquinas we’re going to interview the Angelic Doctor himself! Together we’ll find out what he has to say about spiritual warfare! With Aquinas as our guide, we’ll discover:

  • The spiritual armor you and I have at our disposal – and how to use it
  • Who our nearest enemy is – and why we must focus on fighting him first
  • What sandals have to do with the spiritual life (Ha! Never thought of this one before)
  • And a whole lot more!

Ghosts, Demon Babies & Werewolves

When I say Aquinas talked about everything, I mean he talked about everything. In today’s episode, Jimmy Akin and I explore what Aquinas had to say about: 

  • The “occult” and what that is
  • Werewolves — they aren’t what you think
  • The possibility of demon babies — SHOCKING
  • Ghosts: Can they really appear to people
  • And a whole lot more…

Aquinas, Pornography & Remedies for Sorrow

In my first talk since our country was shut down by COVID, I address the students at Franciscan University of Steubenville about porn and Aquinas’s remedies for lust and sorrow. 

We tackle:

  •  Aquinas’s underwhelming, yet vitally necessary, remedies for lust
  • Why Aquinas’s remedies for sorrow are essential in the struggle against porn
  • Students’ questions and Aquinas’s answers for beating porn addiction

Want to Understand Aquinas? Start with Augustine

Today I’m joined around the bar table by Dr. Chad Engellend—professor of philosophy at the University of Dallas, an expert in St. Augustine’s thought, and host of our new 7-part series on the Confessions of St. Augustine. Together we discuss: 

  • Who Augustine was and why he’s relevant for us today
  • How, in many ways, Augustine’s world is more similar to ours than to Aquinas’s
  • Why his Confessions are the best entry-point to discover his thought
  • And more…

If you’re interested in hearing the rest of this series, consider becoming a patron here

Debate: Does God Exist?

What happens when a Dominican Thomist goes head-to-head with an “atheist apologist”?

In this episode of Pints with Aquinas Fr. Gregory Pine, a Dominican priest and Assistant Director of Campus Outreach at the Thomistic Institute, debates Ben Watkins, co-creator of “Real Atheology”: a blog and podcast dedicated to providing well-reasoned arguments in favor of atheist non-belief.

Has No One Condemned You?

This is the third and final part in 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.”

  • One thing you can do to overcome the limits of language
