140: Intro to Aquinas (Yeeeey!)

Pints With Aquinas is fully fan funded. If you'd like to support PWA, click <a href="https://www.patreon.com/pwa">here</a> now. Thank you for your support. Here's the text from today's meditation: That Christ should die was expedient. 1. To make our redemption complete. For, although any suffering of Christ had an infinite value, because of its union with His divinity, it was not by no matter which of His sufferings that the redemption of mankind was made complete, but only by His death. So the Holy Spirit declared speaking through the mouth of Caiaphas, It is expedient for you that one man shall die for the people (John xi. 50). Whence St. Augustine says, "Let us stand in wonder, rejoice, be glad, love, praise, and adore since it is by the death of our Redeemer, that we have been called from death to life, from exile to our own land, from mourning to joy." 2. To increase our faith, our hope and our charity. With regard to faith the Psalm says (Ps. cxl. 10), I am alone until I pass from this world, that is, to the Father. When I shall have passed to the Father, then shall I be multiplied. Unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground die itself remaineth alone (John xii. 24). As to the increase of hope St, Paul writes, He that spared not even his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how hath he not also, with him, given us all things? (Rom. viii. 32). God cannot deny us this, for to give us all things is less than to give His own Son to death for us. St. Bernard says, "Who is not carried away to hope and confidence in prayer, when he looks on the crucifix and sees how Our Lord hangs there, the head bent as though to kiss, the arms outstretched in an embrace, the hands pierced to give, the side opened to love, the feet nailed to remain with us." Come, my dove, in the clefts of the rock (Cant. ii. 14). It is in the wounds of Christ the Church builds its nest and waits, for it is in the Passion of Our Lord that she places her hope of salvation, and thereby trusts to be protected from the craft of the falcon, that is, of the devil. With regard to the increase of charity, Holy Scripture says, At noon he burneth the earth (Ecclus. xliii. 3), that is to say, in the fervour of His Passion He burns up all mankind with His love. So St. Bernard says, "The chalice thou didst drink, O good Jesus, maketh thee lovable above all things." The work of our redemption easily, brushing aside all hindrances, calls out in return the whole of our love. This it is which more gently draws out our devotion, builds it up more straightly, guards it more closely, and fires it with greater ardour. Learn more about your ad choices.

A Good Friday meditation by Thomas Aquinas

Today I take a look at what Aquinas had to say about correcting our Christian friends (and leaders ... like the Pope and stuff ... {crickets} ...) Please <a href="https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd">support our work here</a> and get COOL rewards as a thank you! Here's what I read from the ST II-II, Q. 33. Article 1. Whether fraternal correction is an act of charity? On the contrary, To correct the wrongdoer is a spiritual almsdeed. But almsdeeds are works of charity, as stated above (II-II:32:1). Therefore fraternal correction is an act of charity. I answer that, The correction of the wrongdoer is a remedy which should be employed against a man's sin. Now a man's sin may be considered in two ways, first as being harmful to the sinner, secondly as conducing to the harm of others, by hurting or scandalizing them, or by being detrimental to the common good, the justice of which is disturbed by that man's sin. Consequently the correction of a wrongdoer is twofold, one which applies a remedy to the sin considered as an evil of the sinner himself. This is fraternal correction properly so called, which is directed to the amendment of the sinner. Now to do away with anyone's evil is the same as to procure his good: and to procure a person's good is an act of charity, whereby we wish and do our friend well. Consequently fraternal correction also is an act of charity, because thereby we drive out our brother's evil, viz. sin, the removal of which pertains to charity rather than the removal of an external loss, or of a bodily injury, in so much as the contrary good of virtue is more akin to charity than the good of the body or of external things. Therefore fraternal correction is an act of charity rather than the healing of a bodily infirmity, or the relieving of an external bodily need. There is another correction which applies a remedy to the sin of the wrongdoer, considered as hurtful to others, and especially to the common good. This correction is an act of justice, whose concern it is to safeguard the rectitude of justice between one man and another. Article 4. Whether a man is bound to correct his prelate? Objection 1. It would seem that no man is bound to correct his prelate. For it is written (Exodus 19:12): "The beast that shall touch the mount shall be stoned," [Vulgate: 'Everyone that shall touch the mount, dying he shall die.'] and (2 Samuel 6:7) it is related that the Lord struck Oza for touching the ark. Now the mount and the ark signify our prelates. Therefore prelates should not be corrected by their subjects. Objection 2. Further, a gloss on Galatians 2:11, "I withstood him to the face," adds: "as an equal." Therefore, since a subject is not equal to his prelate, he ought not to correct him. Objection 3. Further, Gregory says (Moral. xxiii, 8) that "one ought not to presume to reprove the conduct of holy men, unless one thinks better of oneself." But one ought not to think better of oneself than of one's prelate. Therefore one ought not to correct one's prelate. On the contrary, Augustine says in his Rule: "Show mercy not only to yourselves, but also to him who, being in the higher position among you, is therefore in greater danger." But fraternal correction is a work of mercy. Therefore even prelates ought to be corrected. I answer that, A subject is not competent to administer to his prelate the correction which is an act of justice through the coercive nature of punishment: but the fraternal correction which is an act of charity is within the competency of everyone in respect of any person towards whom he is bound by charity, provided there be something in that person which requires correction. Now an act which proceeds from a habit or power extends to whatever is contained under the object of that power or habit: thus vision extends to all things comprised in the object of sight. Since, however, a virtuous act needs to be moderated by due circumstances, it follows that when a subject corrects his prelate, he ought to do so in a becoming manner, not with impudence and harshness, but with gentleness and respect. Hence the Apostle says (1 Timothy 5:1): "An ancient man rebuke not, but entreat him as a father." Wherefore Dionysius finds fault with the monk Demophilus (Ep. viii), for rebuking a priest with insolence, by striking and turning him out of the church. Reply to Objection 1. It would seem that a subject touches his prelate inordinately when he upbraids him with insolence, as also when he speaks ill of him: and this is signified by God's condemnation of those who touched the mount and the ark. Reply to Objection 2. To withstand anyone in public exceeds the mode of fraternal correction, and so Paul would not have withstood Peter then, unless he were in some way his equal as regards the defense of the faith. But one who is not an equal can reprove privately and respectfully. Hence the Apostle in writing to the Colossians (4:17) tells them to admonish their prelate: "Say to Archippus: Fulfil thy ministry [Vulgate: 'Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.' Cf. 2 Timothy 4:5." It must be observed, however, that if the faith were endangered, a subject ought to rebuke his prelate even publicly. Hence Paul, who was Peter's subject, rebuked him in public, on account of the imminent danger of scandal concerning faith, and, as the gloss of Augustine says on Galatians 2:11, "Peter gave an example to superiors, that if at any time they should happen to stray from the straight path, they should not disdain to be reproved by their subjects." Reply to Objection 3. To presume oneself to be simply better than one's prelate, would seem to savor of presumptuous pride; but there is no presumption in thinking oneself better in some respect, because, in this life, no man is without some fault. We must also remember that when a man reproves his prelate charitably, it does not follow that he thinks himself any better, but merely that he offers his help to one who, "being in the higher position among you, is therefore in greater danger," as Augustine observes in his Rule quoted above.

Real Love for the Poor (Bob Lesnefsky) | Ep. 317

Habemus Papam! The Church has a new pope—and he’s from Chicago.
In this episode, Father Dave and Deacon Bob react with joy, awe, and a healthy dose of disbelief to the election of Pope Leo XIV, a South Side Chicago native and fellow “Bob.” The first American pontiff, Leo XIV is an Augustinian, missionary, canon lawyer, and lifelong baseball fan with deep roots in both Villanova and Peru. His election is already making waves—and memes.
Before diving into Vatican news, the hosts process a different kind of drama: sports heartbreak. Bob relives the Cleveland Cavaliers’ playoff collapse—one for the record books—and the deep disappointment that followed. Father Dave offers perspective (and a hopeful prediction) before they shift gears to highlight Franciscan University's Commencement weekend. From Mary Rice Hasson’s bold defense of the human person to Bishop Andrew Cozzens’ catechetical preaching, the event was a joyful witness to faith and truth.
Finally, they unpack the significance of the name Leo, what this new pope may prioritize, and how the legacy of Pope Leo XIII—with his groundbreaking encyclicals on labor, justice, and the Holy Spirit—may resonate in the years ahead.
From Chicago sports to conclave suspense, from Catholic memes to Marian devotion, this episode is a fast-paced blend of humor, reverence, and hope for the Church’s future under a pope who, as Bob puts it, “plays Wordle with his brother and orders from Wawa.”

Today, leadership requires courage.  In times like ours it’s easier to stop rather than to keep going.  But what’s the secret to courage?  In the lives of the saints we find many examples of courageous leadership.  But in the life of St. Stanislaus, Bishop of Krakow, there is a special lesson that speaks to each one of us: the strength of consistent integrity.

Reviewing Trent's ABORTION Debate with Destiny on Whatever (Trent Horn) | Ep. 419

A leader could have the best strategy in the world but if he’s unable to make a choice on how to implement it his strategy will be meaningless.  And yet is precisely here that many of us struggle.  Making a choice seems irrevocable and sometimes choosing one way in preference to another seems like closing the door on perfectly good opportunities.  But then again not choosing is also a choice and it’s a choice that won’t bring us to where we need to go.  How does our faith in God help us with this dilemma?   How does it help us to be leaders who decide?

Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet | Fr. Chris Alar, MIC | Episode #092

The Eucharist...the source and summit of our faith. Men, if you don't know the Eucharist, this episode is for you! The Eucharist and the cross are the two elements of our Catholic faith that caused most of Jesus's followers to leave Him. Think about that men...we know how the Resurrection changed the world. Yet how many people still doubt? The Eucharist is the other major pillar of our faith that causes the most division, even amongst self-proclaimed Catholics today! Listen to this episode to hear some fantastic stories on the Eucharist, an epic quote by St. Ignatius, bishop of Antioch, the connection between the Old and New Testament, and why the Mass is NOT boring because it is all about what you put into it, not just what you receive. Next week, we dive deeper into the concept of Transubstantiation and why you must believe this to be Catholic. Thank you to our partners at Hallow!

Relieving Post-Traumatic Stress & Calming Anxiety (Dr. Gerry Crete) | Ep.449

The non-Christian world can paint a vision of capitalism wherein the owner or the boss rules over the workers – exacting from them the maximum of energies in the most efficient way possible for the maximum profit.  Is this the vision that God has for our work?  In its landmark document from 2011, the Catholic Church lays out six principles to guide business leaders.  Its third principle holds that business ought to be for the benefit of the employees as well as the customer.  Here’s how this can be done.

Heated Debate on Pornography w/ Dennis Prager

This week, I'm excited to have my good friend Paul George back on the show! If you caught our last episode, you'll know that Paul is not only the founder of The Art of Living but also the author of some fantastic books like "Rethink Happiness" and "Holy Grit." If you haven’t checked those out yet, I highly recommend you do—they’ve been game-changers for a lot of men, especially in men’s groups.

Find more here 👉 https://www.paulgeorge.la/

or here 👉 https://www.discovertheartofliving.com/

In this episode, Paul and I dive deep into what it really means to be a husband and father. We’re talking about the real stuff—the joys, the struggles, and everything in between. We get personal about our own experiences, from how we navigate the daily challenges of marriage and fatherhood to the importance of having authentic friendships with other men. We both know firsthand how easy it is to fall into the trap of trying to go it alone, but let me tell you, that’s exactly where the enemy wants us.

We also talk about the power of vulnerability. Paul shares how he’s learned to let down his guard and be real, not just with God but with his wife and kids, too. And I open up about some of the hardest things I’ve faced as a husband and father—things that have also turned out to be the greatest blessings in my life. It’s not always easy, but man, it’s worth it.

One of the highlights for me was when we discussed the role of prayer in our lives. The morning we recorded this, Paul and I spent some time just praying for each other—real, honest prayer about the things that weigh on us as men. We realized that the hardest battles we face are often at home, in our roles as husbands and fathers. But that’s also where God is calling us to be the strongest, the holiest.

If you’re a guy who’s struggling in your marriage or feeling the weight of fatherhood, this episode is for you. We’re here to encourage you, to remind you that you’re not alone, and to offer some practical advice on how to move forward with God’s help. So whether you’re listening in the gym, mowing the lawn, or just driving in your car, I hope you’ll find something here that speaks to you.

What Your Family Needs w/ Paul George

“God has not created us for the perishable and transitory things of earth, but for things heavenly and everlasting.” Join us for a provocative and faith-filled conversation on artificial intelligence, truth, and the Catholic worldview. In this episode, Rigel and Travis explore an extraordinary ChatGPT transcript in which an MIT student leads the AI model to a bold conclusion: that Catholic Christianity is the most rational, historical, and logically coherent worldview. Our discussion explores:- How ChatGPT responds to theological and philosophical questions when rigorously prompted- The danger of relativism and the cultural bias embedded in most modern discourse- Why miracles—if even one is true—are sufficient to validate the supernatural claims of the Church- What the Church teaches about miracles and how they’re rigorously tested (including examples like Lourdes)- The difference between scientism and true scientific reasoning—and why science alone can’t explain the fullness of human experience- How prompts and custom instructions shape AI output—and what that tells us about modern epistemology- Simulation theory, Elon Musk’s worldview, and how scientism circles back to belief in a “creator” of a different kind- A call for intellectual humility and a rational path toward faith in Christ and the Church He founded Whether you’re a believer, skeptic, or simply curious about how AI intersects with metaphysical questions, this episode will challenge you to consider not just what is true—but how we come to know it. Rigel and Travis emphasize that while AI can offer clarity, it must never become a substitute for truth itself. Instead, it can serve as a powerful tool—when wielded carefully—to highlight the profound coherence of the Catholic faith. Resources:Want to read the full ChatGPT conversation?

Transformation

The life of the Virgin Mary is the tale of a hero.  In the face of great obstacles and great opposition Our Lady demonstrated leadership in the most excellent of ways.  She goes before us as a mother and a queen, but it can be easy to overlook the harrowing and trying circumstances in which she lived.  Learning about her heroism helps us in our own.

DGT Episode 104 - The Vision, Daring, and Grit Of The Virgin Mary

Christianity means that we belong to Christ as members of His body and that means that we extend his mission through our own body, our own space, and time.  What is the mission of Christ.  One of the reasons He says He came to this world was to seek and to save what is lost.  If we are to be faithful to our mission we need to do the same.

DGT Episode 71 - Christ's Mission, Our Mission Part 5 - To Seek What Was Lost

In this week's episode of Catholic Re.Con., guest Kenny Burchard takes us from Pioneer Day to Moody Seminary to the Catholic Church. Kenny decided to stop asking anti-Catholics and "Joe Catholics" about the Catholic faith.&nbsp;

Culture, Pro-life Movement, and Nashville (Jonathon Van Maren) | Ep. 396

What if the solution to parish decline isn’t another event, but a knock at the door?

In this week’s episode, John welcomes Austin Habash, founder of Think Catholic and Sent Evangelization, to share his powerful story—from agnosticism to the Carthusian monastery, and now to leading neighborhood evangelization across the country.

Austin explains why door-to-door ministry isn’t just possible for Catholics—it’s vital. And how real transformation doesn’t start with a script, but with prayer, presence, and genuine charity.

Lenten Series - Your Whole Heart Pt. 3: Sloth

Why do you pray? Why do you work? Why do you listen to this podcast? 
“If you don't have passion you are never going to do anything well”.  Where does that passion come from? On this week’s episode, John and Victor chat about this answer… your “why”. THAT is what is going to make a difference in how you live your everyday life. Your WHY is the detrimental factor in living a meaningful life.

In this episode, John and Victor talk about:
- Following the traditions of the family vs. claiming your own beliefs. 
- Jesus becoming REAL to John in jail
- What it means to divorce ourselves from the Lord 
- If they are a good teacher it is because they were a good witness first and you can only be a good witness if you have your WHY

In this episode, Victor and I sit down to talk about complacency, and how we can fight it in our own lives.

In this episode you’ll learn:

Todd has over 25 years of business management and consulting experience in bringing digital and interactive initiatives to fruition through leadership, strategic alliances, processes, and technologies in industries such as media and entertainment. Todd holds a Bachelor of Business Administration in accounting from Texas A&amp;M. Born out of the loss of his daughter, Todd co-founded the Taylor’s Gift Foundation, an award-winning 501c3 non-profit focused on organ donation and grief support for donor families. Taylor’s Gift is a compassionate source of hope, ensuring donor families never have to grieve alone. The show starts with “Blessed are the Joke Makers,” where the Dudes must address the prompt “doubting Thomas wished he was known for _____” as a thrill seeker. You won’t believe how the points play out on this one. The focus then turns to talk of heroes, and Todd shares a powerful reflection about his own granddad, Harland Storch. And speaking of heroes, Todd and the team reflect on Todd’s son Ryan and his calling to discern with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal in NYC at the start of Covid. In his final reflection, Todd talks about his final moments sitting by his daughter’s side as they prepared for her organ donation, and he asked his brother-in-law to keep him accountable to live a life that honors God and others, regardless of what storms we face. <h2>Follow Todd &amp; Taylor's Gift</h2><a href="https://www.taylorsgift.org/">Taylor's Gift Website </a><h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://decidedexcellence.com/">Decided Excellence</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/">The Pencil Bureau</a>

In this episode, we welcome back Dr. Peter Kreeft, Professor of Philosophy at Boston College and renowned author and lecturer. We discuss the importance of philosophy and logic, and why philosophical errors are at the root of much of the crisis in our culture and in the Church.

Bill Donaghy On Transgenderism

The BeatiDudes are joined by speaker, author, and entrepreneur Jordan Raynor to discuss faith and work. This ecumenical conversation challenges listeners to realize our role in making every workplace sacred through our existence as Christians and through the excellence of our work. Through his bestselling books (The Creator in You, Redeeming Your Time, Master of One, and Called to Create), the Mere Christians podcast, and his weekly devotionals, Jordan has helped millions of Christians connect the gospel to their work. In addition to his writing, Jordan serves as the Executive Chairman of Threshold 360, a venture-backed tech startup that Jordan previously ran as CEO following a string of successful ventures.

The Sacredness of Secular Work | Jordan Raynor | Episode #069

This week, I’m diving deep into what it means to truly wait on God. We live in a world where we’re always on the go, but sometimes, God calls us to slow down and listen. It’s not always easy—trust me, I struggle with it too! But the grace we find in that quiet waiting can be life-changing.

Join me as I talk about how I’ve navigated moments of feeling distant from God, and what I’ve learned about hearing His voice in the stillness. We all need patience, fortitude, and hope, and I hope this episode helps you find some in your own journey.

Isaiah 40:31 – "But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."

Micah 7:7 – "But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me."

Matthew 10:30 –  "But even the hairs of your head are all numbered."

Luke 22:44 –  "And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly; and His sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground."
