The Union of Faith and Reason: Thomas Aquinas In this reflective episode of 11:11 Talk Radio, Simran explores the timeless wisdom of Thomas Aquinas, guiding listeners into the sacred union of faith and reason. Through contemplative insight and grounded spiritual inquiry, this episode invites you to rediscover truth as both a lived experience and an inner knowing, bridging intellect and devotion in a deeply integrated path of awakening. THOMAS AQUINAS Thomas Aquinas (1225–1274) was a Dominican theologian and philosopher whose work profoundly shaped Western spiritual and intellectual tradition. Integrating Aristotelian philosophy with Christian theology, he articulated a vision of truth in which faith and reason coexist in harmony. His writings, including the Summa Theologica, explore the nature of God, ethics, and human purpose, offering a framework for understanding the divine as both knowable through reason and experienced through contemplation.

Are Aliens Demons, Our Cosmic Neighbors, or Something Stranger?   Host Curtis Chang and author Andy Crouch explore the theological implications of UFOs, extraterrestrial life, and the possibility that humans are not the only created beings in the cosmos. They ask whether aliens should be understood as material creatures, angels and demons, image bearers, or cosmic neighbors—and what Scripture, Christian theology, and even Aquinas suggest about our human uniqueness. Along the way, they consider whether first contact would reveal Christian love, humility, and wonder—or our instinct toward fear and domination.   00:47 - Introduction to Alien Life and Declassified UFO Reports 02:19 - Do Aliens Exist? 08:32 - The Value of Pondering Alien Life 13:02 - Aliens vs. Angels and Demons 23:18 - God's Mysterious Creatures in Scripture 27:42 - The Octopus Dilemma and Human Specialness  38:26 - Missional Work and Alien Life? 44:26 - The Nature of God's Love 48:49 - Domination or Love : The Human Response to Aliens 50:58 - Andy Imagines Worshipping with Cosmic Neighbors   Turn on Apple Podcasts Automatic Downloads: Go to the Settings app on your iPhone.

Fr. Michael Hurley joins Patrick to discuss St. Thomas Aquinas (4:43) who was St. Thomas Aquinas (11:15) what is the Albigensian heresy? (18:19) Brendan - The one that impacted me was Thomas Aquinas' 5 proofs. I saw a video in middle school that challenged atheists. I didn't know there were such intellectual people in the church. It really shook my faith and eased my anxieties in it and have more faith in God. (25:05) Break 1 Madeline - He's not my saint...I'm trying to love him as a brother and I don't know how to reconcile. I love St. Faustina. I don't like him because he said pets don't go to heaven and that's why I left the faith. I'm back in the faith now because of St. Faustina and St. Maximilian Kolbe. (32:53) Role of Reason in our life today (34:47) Jean - My most favorite thing about him...he admitted at the end of his conversations that all of his writings meant nothing. He found what he was writing was useless. Once he spoke to the Lord, he found that he was so inadequate from what he learned from the Lord. (39:48) Break 2 (40:52) Regina - He taught that women are defective. I want to know how to get around that. It's offensive. I have a reference from Summa Theologica. (45:03) Thomas Aquinas’ Devotional life Where should people start when reading about St. Thomas Aquinas?

In this episode we discuss the first petition of the Lord's Prayer, Hallowed be Thy Name. Among other things the Catechism sets forth at least five things that we are asking for in these words. In addition we read an article from the Summa Theologica in which St Thomas asks the questions "whether the seven petitions of the Lord's Prayer are fittingly assigned?" (S.T. IIa IIae Q. 83 a.9)

In this episode we begin our study of the Lord's Prayer by discussing the very first word "Father." We also read article one and two of question 113 in Prima Pars of the Summa Theologica, concerning Guardian Angels!

In this episode we read the conclusion of the catechisms treatment on prayer in general. The Catechism sets forth conditions for prayer and elements of what makes a good prayer. We also read a brief section from question 83 of the Summa Theologica (i.e. ST IIa IIae) concerning the distinction between praying to God and to the saints.

In this episode we commence the fourth and final part of the Catechism concerning prayer and the Lord's prayer. The Catechism discourses on the necessity of prayer and sets forth 10 fruits of prayer. In addition we read an article from the Summa Theologica on "whether it is becoming to pray." St Thomas explains how our prayers are becoming and even necessary as they are designed by God to be among the causes by which he brings about his effects! (ST IIa IIae Q. 83 a.2

n this episode of The Patrick Madrid Show, Patrick takes on a curious question from Javier in San Antonio: Did Adam and Eve actually need to eat to stay alive before "the fall?"   Patrick breaks it down by saying that the Catholic Church doesn't have a solid, definite answer on this, so it's something we can speculate about. He mentions that St. Thomas Aquinas talked about this in his Summa Theologica. St. Aquinas seems to indicate that in the Garden of Eden, eating wasn't about survival—it was all about enjoyment.    Patrick goes on to explain that before "the fall", life was all about enjoying God's creation and following His command. No hard work, no stress—just pure bliss with everything they needed at their fingertips. Of course, after "the fall", everything changed, and life got a lot harder. Patrick assumes that because Adam and Eve had regular human bodies, they probably did all the normal human things—like eating and digesting food.   Patrick also suggests checking out Pope Benedict XVI's book, In the Beginning, if you're into looking deeper into the creation story. It's got some great insights on Genesis and how we fit into the big picture.   So, while we don't have a definite answer, it's pretty interesting to imagine how Adam and Eve lived in total harmony before things went south.

In this enlightening episode of Higher Density Living, hosts Jason Rigby and Alexander McCaig explore the profound thoughts of Thomas Aquinas, particularly his concept of creation as outlined in his magnum opus, Summa Theologica. The hosts dive deep into Question 45 of the first part, offering a fresh perspective on Aquinas' ideas and their relevance to modern discussions on cosmology, metaphysics, and the philosophy of religion.   Key Points Discussed:   Aquinas' Definition of Creation   Creation as "the emanation of all being from the universal cause, which is God" The concept of creation ex nihilo (from nothing) How this differs from modern Christian interpretations   The Nature of God in Aquinas' Philosophy   God as an infinite power rather than a personified being The gap between non-being and being as infinite, requiring infinite power to bridge   Creation and Natural Processes   How Aquinas distinguishes creation from other forms of causation The idea that natural processes work with existing matter rather than creating from nothing   The Concept of Co-creation   Aquinas' view on the emergence of new forms in nature as co-creation The hosts' interpretation of this concept in relation to human creativity and procreation   The Imprint of the Creator   Aquinas' argument that all created things bear a trace of the Trinity The hosts' modern interpretation of this concept, relating it to genetic code and the passing on of ideas   Critique of Modern Religious Interpretations   How Aquinas' views differ from contemporary religious dogma The hosts' perspective on the rigidity of modern religious institutions compared to Aquinas' more open approach   Relevance of Aquinas' Ideas Today   The continued importance of Aquinas' logical analysis and interdisciplinary approach How his ideas can contribute to contemporary philosophical and theological discussions   Throughout the episode, Jason and Alexander offer their own insights and interpretations, drawing parallels between Aquinas' ancient wisdom and modern scientific understanding. They emphasize the importance of open-minded exploration of these concepts and critique the rigidity often found in contemporary religious institutions.   The hosts conclude by highlighting the value of studying "heretical" thinkers like Aquinas, whose ideas challenge conventional wisdom and encourage deeper reflection on the nature of reality and our place within it.   This episode of Higher Density Living offers listeners a thought-provoking journey through ancient philosophy, encouraging a reevaluation of our understanding of creation, God, and the nature of existence itself.

In this episode we conclude the catechisms treatment of the eighth commandment. This commandment enjoins the virtue of truthfulness. In addition, we read about that "special" virtue from the Summa Theologica. ST IIa IIae Q. 109 a. 2. We also reference the definition of virtue from St Augustine in Ia. IIae Q. 59 a.4

In this episode we pause in our reading of the catechism to examine two articles in the Summa Theologica concerning the nature of a lie. We read from Secunda Secundae Question 110 articles 1 and 3. (ST IIa IIae Q. 110 a. 1 and 3)

In this episode we commence our study of the eighth commandment reading the section in th Catechism concerning the prohibitory or negative part of the commandment. Additionally we read two articles from the Summa Theologica concerning reviling and backbiting and the distinction between them. ST. IIa IIae Q. 72 a.1 and Q. 73 a. 1

John J. Miller is joined by R. J. Snell of the Witherspoon Institute to discuss Thomas Aquinas's 'Summa Theologica.'

In this episode we discuss what the seventh commandment with regard to what it enjoins. Additionally we read an article from question 62 of the second part of the second part of the Summa Theologica concerning restitution. ST IIa. IIae. Q. 62 a. 7

In this episode we pause our reading of the catechism and instead read four articles from the Summa Theologica concerning why the possession of external property is natural to man. In addition we read an article concerning the definition of theft and distinguish it from robbery. ST. IIa IIae Q. 66 a1-a4

In this episode we conclude the Catechism's treatment of the fifth Commandment. The commandment inculcates the love of enemies. In addition to reading the catechism we also turn to the Summa Theologica concerning "whether we should love our enemies?" ST. IIa IIae Q. 25 a. 8

In this episode we commence out study of the Fifth Commandment. The Catechism divides the commandment into a prohibitory part and a positive part. We also read from two articles in the Summa Theologica regarding the rectitude of capital punishment as well as the legitimacy of killing in self defense. ST IIa IIae Q. 64

In this episode we conclude the Catechism's treatment of the Fourth Commandment. The Catechism explains the appropriateness of the reward attached the commandment (i.e. "that thou mayest be long lived, etc." We also read from the fourth Chapter of the Book of Tobias in which Tobias provides an excellent example of the way that Fathers should behave to their sons. Additionally we read from the Summa Theologica where St Thomas explains how a long life is a suitable reward. ST. IIa IIae 122. a. 4 ad. 4

In this episode we read the Catechism with regard to its treatment of the words "Honor" and "Father" and "Mother." We also read excerpts from the Summa Theologica from Secunda Secundae concerning the virtue of Piety.

In this episode we commence our study of the Fourth Commandment of the Decalogue: Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother. As the fourth "Word" (of the "Ten Words") is the first on the second tablet, we discuss why Catholics number and arrange the ten commandments as they do. The Catholic arrangement is from St Augustine's teaching in his work "Quaestiones in Exodum," from which we read. Additionally we read from the Summa Theologica, Secunda Secundae Question 122 article 5, "Whether the fourth precept, about honoring one's parents, is fittingly expressed?"

In this episode we commence our study of the second commandment of the Decalogue "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain". In addition to reading the Catechism concerning this commandment we also take a look at the question in the Summa Theologica "Whether the second precept of the decalogue is fittingly expressed?" (ST. Secunda Secundae, Q. 122, A 3)

In this episode we continue to read the Catechism concerning the Sacrament of Holy Orders. In particular we study the distinctions of Major and Minor Orders and why the Church used to designate seven different "orders" encompassed within this sacrament. It is within the scope of the church's power to order itself and make a division of labor with respect to the sacrament of the Eucharist- and we see that all of the orders are at the service of the priest. Additionally, we read two excerpts from the Summa Theologica concerning the division and multiplicity of orders. (ST. IIIa. Supplement Q. 37 a. 1 and a. 2)

In this episode we commence our study of the Sacrament of Holy Orders. In addtion to reading the Catechism concerning why Orders is a sacrament we also take a look at Question 34 of the Supplement to the Summa Theologica concerning this same question. Additionally we note that certain changes were made with respect to the suppression of the minor orders in 1973 by Pope Paul VI in his Motu Proprio Quaedam Ministeria. (ST. III Supplement Q. 34 a.1)

In this episode we commence our study of the Sacrament of Extreme Unction. We discuss why extreme unction is a sacrament, its unity as well as its matter and form. Additionally we read selections from two articles in the Supplement to the Summa Theologica. (ST Supplement Q. 29. a.1 and a. 2)

In this episode we continue our discussion of the integral parts of the sacrament of penance discussing confession. We discuss the necessity of confession and how it is beneficial to the individual and society. Additionally we read some articles concerning this same matter from the Summa Theologica. (ST. IIIa. Supplement selections from Q. 6-Q.7)

Did Jesus give the Eucharist to Judas on the night in which Jesus was betrayed? Should private sinners be denied communion from a priest? What about public sinners? Michael Lofton explores all of these questions in light of St. Thomas Aquinas and his work in the Summa Theologica.

Episode 80 - St Thomas Aquinas is known as the patron Saint of students and teachers. Although his theology is deep, his love for God was deeper. Fun fact: St Thomas Aquinas was known to levitate from time to time! His feast day is January 28. Hosts: Fr Sean Danda & Nathanael Rea Resources mentioned in this episode: The Summa Theologica of St Thomas Aquinas https://a.co/d/8hvoWTp

In this episode we read the Catechism's treatment concerning why Penance is a sacrament and we also begin to discuss its matter and form. Additionally we read from the Summa Theologica concerning these subjects and especially why the acts of the penitent may be considered the matter of Penance. (ST. IIIa. Q. 84 a.1 and a.2)

In this episode we commence our study of the sacrament of penance. The Catechism first explains the various meanings of the word penance, and then explains that penance is, first of all, a virtue. IN addition we read an article from the Summa Theologica in which St Thomas Aquinas justifies the saying of St Jerome that "penance is a second plank." (ST. IIIa. Q. 84, a. 6)

In this episode we conclude the Catechism's treatment concerning the Eucharist. Having set forth the doctrine concerning the Eucharist as a sacrament, the section concludes with a discussion concerning the Eucharist as a sacrifice. In addition to reading the catechism, we also read from three articles from the Summa Theologica concerning these same matters as well as St Thomas' explanation and division of the words in the rite of the Mass. (ST IIIa. Q. 79 a. 7, Q. and Q. 83 a.1 and a.4

In this episode we read the Catechism regarding the reception of the Eucharist under the species of bread and wine. Why do many Catholics receive the Eucharist under only the species of Bread? Does the reception of the Eucharist under both species add anything? We also discuss the role of the Priest as an instrumental agent in the consecration of the Eucharist. In addition we read two relevant articles from the Summa Theologica. (ST IIIa. Q 80 a. 12 and Q. 82 a. 5)

Thomas Aquinas (1225–1274) is one of the church’s most celebrated defenders of the faith. Yet just three months before his death something caused him to leave unfinished his Summa Theologica, the massive legacy of his life’s work. While reflecting on the broken body and shed blood of his Savior, Aquinas claimed to see a vision that left him without words. He said, “I can write no more. I have seen things that make my writings seem like straw.” Before Aquinas, Paul too had a vision. In 2 Corinthians, he describes the experience: “This man [Paul himself]—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows—was caught up to paradise and hear inexpressible things” (12:3–4). Paul and Aquinas left us to reflect on an ocean of goodness that neither words nor reason can express. The implications of what Aquinas saw left him without hope of finishing his work in a way that would do justice to a God crucified for us. By contrast, Paul continued to write. But he did so in the awareness of what he couldn’t express or finish in his own strength. In all of the troubles Paul encountered in service to Christ (2 Corinthians 11:16–33; 12:8–9), he could look back and see, in his weakness, a grace and goodness beyond words and wonder.
