Patrick opens this episode by confronting the struggle parents face with teenagers glued to their phones, offering down-to-earth tools from no-phones-at-the-table rules to the undeniable simplicity of charging stations outside bedrooms. He fields calls on topics like Catholic teaching on medicinal cannabis, quoting Church sources and distinguishing between therapy and recreational use. Listeners bring up Marian doctrine, struggles of being a convert, and the often-misunderstood nature of Confirmation, pushing Patrick to share both personal reflections and resources from the Thomistic Institute. He doesn’t shy away from tough questions either—how a Catholic might find confidence in salvation or what makes Catholicism compelling even for lifelong members—circling back to the raw reality of hope, trust, and the struggle to believe. Expect practical tips, honest guidance, and the kind of off-the-cuff encouragement you rarely get anywhere else.

(31:11) Kate (email) - You are 100% convinced about your Catholic faith. As a convert (I have been Catholic since 1992), I am not 100% convinced. Although I love Catholicism, I still struggle with some aspects of it. (36:27) Sandy – If we are here for the second coming, will there be a purification process? (48:45)

Welcome to our deep-dive into the question: How do we know God exists?In this series, we return to the topic of God's existence, which we covered aaall the way back in Episode 2 (!!), and we break it open to explore it more deeply. In this episode, we look at St. Thomas Aquinas's first three 'ways', or arguments for God's existence. These are among the most famous arguments for the existence of God, and they have been hugely influential in the history of the Philosophy of Religion. They have also been at times misunderstood and misrepresented, so in this series we're taking the time to delve deep and understand what, exactly, Aquinas is arguing.

What does the Catholic church teach about angels? How many angels are there? Can they read our minds or see the future?

What or who are angels? Why does it matter? Some of you may be coming to today's episode with some skepticism or at least curiosity. Why are we talking about angels and demons? Should we bother thinking or talking about invisible creatures? Is it possibly to not be scary or weird about it?As we'll discover today, Christians have always been concerned with angels, because angels are deeply concerned with us — with our wellbeing and our journey toward — or away from — the love and likeness of Christ.Fear not: today will not include impressive or spooky stories, or anecdotes of spiritual experiences. Instead, we focus on the goodness of God, the hospitality of heaven, and how the holy angels help us along the way. And little about how the naughty angels try to trip us up, how we can catch them at it, and the gifts God gives us to resist their tricks. No campfire stories. Just some good doctrine, simple advice, and a lot of Thomas Aquinas.Our guest today is the Rev. James Dominic Brent, OP. Fr. James is a Dominican Friar who lives and teaches at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C. He is the author of The Father's House: Discovering Our Home in the Trinity. He frequently lectures for the Thomistic Institute, and appears on their YouTube series Aquinas 101 as well as on the Dominican podcast Contemplata, A Podcast for Contemplative Souls.You can find more of his work on Soundcloud. Now forget your harps and halos for just a second. From the Desert Fathers to alcoholic's anonymous, we're going to find out about those blessed creatures who were made to be busy for God on our behalf.

Join our distinguished panel for a discussion of "Growing in Virtue: Aquinas on Habit" by William C. Mattison III. Growing in Virtue is the only comprehensive account of growth in virtue in the thought of Thomas Aquinas. Our conversation explores the intellectual rigor and accessibility of these topics, making them relevant to individuals of any or no religious affiliation, yet deeply rooted in Catholic thought. The focal point of our dialogue is the intriguing relationship between the graced virtue of the Christian life, often referred to as supernatural or infused virtue, and the more universally recognized virtues that people of any or no faith can possess, known as acquired virtues. With the aid of our distinguished panelists, we navigate through the intricate scholarly debates surrounding these concepts, aiming to contribute meaningful insights into virtue scholarship. Panelists: - William C. Mattison III, Wilsey Family Associate Professor, University of Notre Dame - Jennifer Herdt, Gilbert L. Stark Professor of Christian Ethics at Yale University's Divinity School. - Jean Porter, John A. O'Brien Professor of Theology, University of Notre Dame - Rev. Dominic Legge, O.P., Director of the Thomistic Institute and Associate Professor of Dogmatic Theology at the Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C.

Did Jesus always know that he was God, or did he acquire that knowledge at some point during his childhood or adolescence? Were there things that Jesus didn't know when he was on earth? Did he know what was going to happen in the future? Was Jesus ever tempted to sin, or to despair?
