7 Ways To Argue Better w/ Fr. Gregory Pine

Ever wonder how you can be more effective at arguing? Today we’re joined around the bar table by Fr. Gregory Pine to discuss seven things you can learn from St. Thomas Aquinas about arguing better. We’ll tackle issues like:

  • What attitude you should have when debating with someone
  • Why it’s absolutely vital that you understand your opponent’s position
  • One thing you can do to overcome the limits of language
  • What role tradition and authority should play in your discussions
  • And a whole lot more…

Free Speech & “Cancel Culture” w/ Dave Rubin

Want to know how to disagree without being disagreeable? Join two guys with a few different viewpoints — Dave Rubin and me — for an open and agreeable discussion!

Here are just a few of the topics we cover:

  • We have the freedom to put our thoughts out there but shouldn’t expect the world to bend to our demands.
  • When we command the world to act a certain way we can rush to judgment, which often leads to cancel culture.
  • Cancel culture is the exact opposite of tolerance.
  • Our freedom of speech means we can say things others may not agree with – about God, abortion, homosexuality, etc. – but that doesn’t mean we can’t respect each other.

 

Pull up a barstool, grab a pint and enjoy free speech at its finest!

What does the Bible say about priests?

It’s a new episode of Pints with Aquinas, and I welcome back my friend, Dr. Andrew Swafford—this time to talk about the Biblical basis for the priesthood.

If you’ve ever wondered what the Bible says about the priesthood (or if it says anything at all about it), then this episode is for you.

Dr. Swafford and I dive deep into the topic and answer such questions as:

  • What does a “priest” really mean?
  • Why doesn’t the Catholic Church ordain women?
  • Why do we call priests “Father” when Christ tells us to call no earthly man your father?
  • What is apostolic succession?
  • Why do we need another mediator, if Christ is already the mediator between us and God?
  • And more!!

I think you’re going to really love this episode! Enjoy!

Why People Become Atheists w/ Fr. James Brent

Today I’m joined around the bar table by Fr. James Brent, O.P., professor of philosophy at the Dominican House of Studies. Together we tackle the BIG issues, like:

  • Why saying there is a God or there is no God represent two radically different worldviews
  • Why true science is actually neutral about the question of God’s existence
  • 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!

Muhammad Was a FALSE Prophet w/ David Wood

Today, I’m excited to be joined at the bar table by David Wood — founder of Acts 17 Apologetics. David has a real passion for apologetics—particularly as it relates to refuting Islam. In this amazing conversation, we pick apart Islam, using Aquinas’ writings on Muhammad as our guide.

Together we’re going to discuss Islam:

  •       What it really teaches
  •       What St. Thomas Aquinas had to say about it (HINT: He wasn’t impressed!)

·        And why Muslims make the best Christian converts

4 Things Catholics Believe About Mary w/ Tim Staples

Well, we’ve gone and done it… This is the MOTHER OF ALL EPISODES.

I interview Tim Staples, Catholic Answers apologist, on what the Church teaches about Mary, the Mother of God.

During this episode you’ll learn about the 4 Marian Dogmas that we believe in as Catholics:

  • Mary is the Mother of God
  • Mary’s perpetual virginity
  • Mary’s immaculate conception
  • Mary’s assumption into heaven

Plus a WHOLE LOT MORE.

My goodness, if you want to better understand what the Church teaches about Mary, then this is the episode for you. Please watch/listen with an open mind, and share what you learn with your Protestant friends and family.

  •  Why Martin Luther (and St. Jerome) rejected the Deuterocanon… and why you shouldn’t
  • How the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls completely changed the way we view the Deuterocanon
  • Whether or not the New Testament authors referred to the Deuterocanon
  • And a whole lot more…
