If you could sit down with St. Thomas Aquinas over a pint of beer and ask him any one question, what would it be? Every episode of Pints With Aquinas revolves around a question, a question that St. Thomas addresses in his most famous work, The Summa Theologica. So get your geek on, pull up a bar stool, and grab a cold one. Here we go!

03: Why are there 7 sacraments?: For spiritual life has a certain conformity with the life of the body: just as other corporeal things have a certain likeness to things spiritual. Now a man attains perfection in the corporeal life in two ways: first, in regard to his own person;... by Pints With Aquinas

19: Give me an argument for the existence of God?: The first and more manifest way is the argument from motion. It is certain, and evident to our senses, that in the world some things are in motion. Now whatever is in motion is put in motion by another, for nothing can be in motion except it is in... by Pints With Aquinas

12: Was the crucifixion necessary for our salvation?: Article 2. Whether there was any other possible way of human deliverance besides the Passion of Christ? Objection 1. It would seem that there was no other possible way of human deliverance besides Christ's Passion. For our Lord says (John... by Pints With Aquinas

05: Are wet dreams/sexual dreams sinful?: "Nocturnal pollution may be considered in two ways. First, in itself; and thus it has not the character of a sin. For every sin depends on the judgment of reason, since even the first movement of the sensuality has nothing sinful in it, except in so... by Pints With Aquinas
22 min listen
02: Do we need faith to know that God exists?: It is written (Romans 1:19), "That which is known of God," namely, what can be known of God by natural reason, "is manifest in them." Our natural knowledge begins from sense. Hence our natural knowledge can go as far as it can be led by sensible... by Pints With Aquinas

07: Who created God?: First, whatever a thing has besides its essence must be caused either by the constituent principles of that essence (like a property that necessarily accompanies the species--as the faculty of laughing is proper to a man--and is caused by the... by Pints With Aquinas
25 min listen
14: Is it possible for me to be happy?: Happiness is the attainment of the Perfect Good. Whoever, therefore, is capable of the Perfect Good can attain Happiness. Now, that man is capable of the Perfect Good, is proved both because his intellect can apprehend the universal and perfect good,... by Pints With Aquinas
22 min listen
04: Does purgatory really exist?: Whether there is a Purgatory after this life? Objection 1. It would seem that there is not a Purgatory after this life. For it is said (Apocalypse 14:13): "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. From henceforth now, saith the Spirit, that they may... by Pints With Aquinas
21 min listen
11: Is the death penalty always wrong?: Article 2. Whether it is lawful to kill sinners? Objection 1. It would seem unlawful to kill men who have sinned. For our Lord in the parable (Matthew 13) forbade the uprooting of the cockle which denotes wicked men according to a gloss. Now whatever... by Pints With Aquinas
26 min listen
08: Was there death before the fall of man?: Objection 2: Further, it is unfitting that elements hostile to one another should be brought under the mastership of one.

16: Can honors and fame make me happy?: It is impossible for happiness to consist in honor. For honor is given to a man on account of some excellence in him; and consequently it is a sign and attestation of the excellence that is in the person honored.

17: Is the ontological argument for God's existence sound?: [Even a] fool, when he hears of … a being than which nothing greater can be conceived … understands what he hears, and what he understands is in his understanding.… And assuredly that, than which nothing greater can be conceived, cannot exist in... by Pints With Aquinas
23 min listen
13: Does evil disprove the existence of God?: Objection 1. It seems that God does not exist; because if one of two contraries be infinite, the other would be altogether destroyed. But the word "God" means that He is infinite goodness. If, therefore, God existed, there would be no evil... by Pints With Aquinas
28 min listen
09: What makes an act good or evil?: “The good or evil of an action, as of other things, depends on its fullness of being or its lack of that fullness.

06: Why didn't you accept the immaculate conception, St. Thomas?: Objection 3. Further, as it has been stated above, no feast is celebrated except of some saint. But some keep the feast of the Conception of the Blessed Virgin. Therefore it seems that in her very Conception she was holy; and hence that she was... by Pints With Aquinas

26: What does Athens have to do with Jerusalem?: I answer that it must be said that gifts of grace are added to those of nature in such a way that they do not destroy the latter, but rather perfect them; wherefore also the light of faith, which is gratuitously infused into our minds, does not... by Pints With Aquinas
