Pints With Aquinas  

Mum: “ok one more video before bed” Child: **turns on 4 hour PwA episode**

4 hours with Trent Horn!!!!! 🤩it’s my lucky day!

Protestant here. I could watch Matt and Trent talk for hours. Love this .

Irish media is out to get Jason Evert as he tours Ireland Keep him in your prayers please

I like when these things go for longer hours! You’re able to get a lot deeper into different topics, and cover a lot more areas!

I’m a 20 year old college girl from NYC haha- I LOOOVE this ❤️🙌🏻

Matt, I'm an Evangelical brother here from South Carolina but wanted to let you know that I enjoy your show so much . Having Trent do a long form interview was a treat. Looking forward to more!

Bouncing between this and the podcast version over multiple days to make it through, and dang, it never ceases to amaze me how Trent can just whip out not just the names of every historical and contemporary philosopher of note, but also verse and chapter citation for biblical references all without even glancing at a page of notes.

Matt has gotten so good at interviewing! Asking questions that he knows the answers to and raising objections that he doesn’t believe in for the sake of the audience. Well done!

I owe Trent a lot for my conversion, his book "Why We're Catholic" opened the door for Catholicism in my life. Sadly I don't listen to his podcast anymore after how he handled the whole Pachamama debacle and the constant jumping through hoops to make Pope Francis seem Orthodox. We have a crisis in the Church and the answer isn't to just ignore that anything bad is happening and completely focus on evangelization. You can only convert so many Protestants until you realize that your own Church is burning down...

I bought Trent Horn’s book, “What Catholics Believe” and gave it to my son, who hasn’t gone to church since his teenage years. I pray daily that he will read it some day!

Looking forward to watching this whole interview after my kids are in bed! Yay!

I am a Protestant man, but I love this interview. This channel is consistantly presenting excellent apologetics and material that are supporting Christendom

50min in and its already great....forget watching a movie, sticking with this tonight

Thanks Matt Fradd, I am painting a wall. 4 hours is perfect.

His parents saw the fruits of his conversion and were at peace! Beautiful

My brain feels very small. Haha! I am loving every second of this. 3 hours in!! 💜💜

I would like to state that I have heard on pints with aquinas is one way I have chosen to deal with problems in the Church: turning all these questions to God. I think he will see us through all errors. The solution will never be leaving the Church

"Life is good...Just because something is a basic good doesn't mean we have to pursue it, but we just can't act against it." You have no idea how much that helped me. My wife is trying to justify contraception and I have been having trouble articulating fully why that is not an option to me. Thank you so much for the insight!

I really like your pose, Matt. It's like you are looking to learn something every moment

4 hour break from editing my own video? Sounds good

Marvel: "Avengers Endgame is the most ambitious crossover of all time." Me, an intellectual:

This is now my favorite podcast. He always asks the best questions. It always answers every question I have on certain topics👍🏼

Bounced over from Capturing Christianity! So fab to see a discussion instead of a skirmish. Interested in what Catholics believe and not a bunch of angry rhetoric. You recommended this episode, so here I am! I have to do some reeeaaaaly boring stuff, so I'm giving this a listen!

I've listened to this episode well over 30 times - still my all time favourite - both Matt and Trent are a ray of sunshine in catholic defending! Keep up the good work. God bless+

Loved every minute of this discussion...especially the last part concerning why to Stay Catholic. Thanks guys very much appreciated.

Hi Trent, I feel the same way as you I do not get the "feeling" too. But please know that people like that are a gift from God. As we know without feeling, we know with out touching the whole in our Lord's hand. God knows how to reach each and everyone of us.

I've saved this to a Catholic playlist for future reference. Time stamps for topics would be amazing.

2 hours and 30 minutes into the conversation. I've been listening to it during the day with some pauses. Didn't realize how long this was when I started. Very cool, Matt Fradd!

I feel so stupid whenever I listen to Trent Horn but I love his brain! I've seen both men speak at a Catholic conference. So inspiring and Trent is seriously a walking wikipedia. Knowledge just BLEEDS out of him! Love what you're sharing. God bless!

I want an ep with Matt, Fr. Pine, and Trent just chilling and talking. Id watch hours of that

Trent killed it but man these questions Matt is proposing allowing Trent to elaborate further and make a proposition stronger are very good.

@Pints With Aquinas I don’t know how long you could talk but you sure have a talent for getting and listening to others talk. I love to listen to all of you talk. Your program is definitely one of the 3 best on any media. Thanks for your work; it’s important. You might try inviting someone with a chronic illness on to see what can be taught about suffering physically. It’s a great way to learn patience.

Greetings from Australia! I’m an Ortho inquiring into Cath.WOW. What an interview! Thank you for your interview style, Matt. So entertaining and I love the questions that you ask. Trent was such a fantastic person to listen to, as well. So much knowledge!! And his delivery is fantastic. Taking the seemingly complex and scholarly information, and delivering it in Layman’s terms for every body to understand with great usage of metaphors and examples. I’ll probably even watch it again, cos it’s that great! Thank you, E.

This dialog is deliciously entertaining. I'm completely grounded and honed in.

Great video. I think Matt Fradd would be an excellent moderator for a debate between Tim Gordon and Trent Horn on what the Catholic teaching is on women in the work place.

For the record, I really enjoyed reading What the Saints Never Said. I thought it was a fun and informative read, and I highly recommend it to anyone who's debating whether or not to pick it up.

4 hour talk that went by just like that!... some movies or events I just can't wait to head home. This was so engaging and intellectually stimulating!

Nearly 4 hours long and, it was wrapping up, I found myself wishing it would go on for another 4 hours.

I’m not a catholic but I like this channel and this video was gold ✨👌🏽

First time watching a full PwA episode! Very high quality questions and topics you brought up and loved how you brought a “skeptic” point of view to make him fully explain to a lay person his view entirely. Looking forward to future episodes!

Great Interview Matt! Trent Horn has a crazy memory bank of great things

Very nice new camera work Matt! The shots and lighting look really nice as well as the new PWA logo. However, Trent’s face is seen in the mirror on the left facing shot, it’s hilarious

This is a fantastic conversation! So glad I came across this.

Lovely!! I sure hope Trent’s next book is on logic! We need more books on logic, fallacies, and reason

Yaaaasssss! Finished watching this morning. Trent’s defense of the papacy was great! Learned so much! Thanks Matt ❤️

Trent is so wise

Greetings from the U.K I've always had an extremely high opinion of Trent Horn and this video validates my opinion

Patiently waiting for Pt. 2 and or a discussion between Trent, and Jacob Imam!

This is worth the 4 hours! Thanks for keeping this up.

Interview starts at 4:00

Very insightful conversation.

I was born Catholic, but I didn't even have an idea of what place Jesus occupied in my life until World Youth Day 2019.

That little Trent head in the mirror. Brilliant.

Trent, you are my favorite apologist and a genuinely awesome man. I am a young Catholic man who loves the Faith but still has some doubts from time to time. Two arguments that I find to be most compelling against the existence of God and Catholicism in general are these. First, if God exists, why is it that he is so hard to see? What is the reason for Him not fully revealing Himself to us in the present day? Second, if I go all-in in my Catholicism, does that make me rigid and unable to genuinely entertain other ideas? Am I boxed in?

Three sittings, but finally finished. I have more questions than when I started, but that is ok. Thanks for the work. 🍻👍

I thoroughly enjoyed hearing the both of you approach discussions with others with opposing beliefs. I’ve often struggled with this even when I do my best to be charitable, my delivery can sometimes be taken the wrong way. This was an enlightening conversation. Please do more! You and Trent Horn are such a pleasure to listen to and learn from. God bless you both 🕊

I guess he can’t call and interrupt this one if he’s there haha

What incredible minds. Thank you both for providing this discussion. I'm so glad to live in the internet age and have access to such rich and impressive content, especially since I would never encounter an informed, advanced exploration of these topics in my normal life. I really appreciate your work, Matt.

🍿 let's do this gentleman.

Thank you Matt and Trent for this great interview!😁 Well done, and worth every minute. May God bless you both in your work.🙏🙏🙏

I can't believe I watched/ listened to the whole thing. But it was all very awesome!

I (cradle Catholic) like and enjoy watching and learning from Matt Fradd's shows.

Finally finished!!! I was struggling on why we should be in a church where the pope can make mistakes. This helps. Thank you!

When the camera is on Matt Fradd, does anyone notice Trent's face?

1:55:20 "why would one universe out of the multiverse exist at all"? Good one!

So weird to hear you say Pints with Aquinas vs The Matt Fradd Show (yes I watched the video explaining). Needless to say, I'm happy you're figuring out how both shows can live under one show title. So excited for this SUPER LONG interview!! Thanks for all you do Matt!

Turncoat is a derogatory term from the American Revolutionary War used to insult someone who switched sides in the conflict. At the time soldiers literally wore decorated coats as part of their uniform.

I'm very grateful that you had Trent on this conversation, conversation being where we find truth most often. I found his charge of St Thomas's Fallacy of Composition to be absolutely delightful, for it gives us the opportunity to work through a Thomistic thought primarily, at its base. I think that I disagree with Trent for the following reason: His assertion that St Thomas committed the fallacy of composition I think is based on an assumption of the nature of time that may not obtain. Since Trent, to my knowledge (I may have missed something in my surprise and pleasure) did not define 'time,' we need to deal with that concept, which is perhaps a bit trickier than Trent might (might, mind you) think, at least in this conversation. What is 'time'? Didn't St Augustine say, _What then is time? If no one asks me, I know what it is. If I wish to explain it to him who asks, I do not know_ ? I think that that depends on what you mean by 'what is'. Our definitions are not reality unless they accord with it, and that means that we have to ask some very serious fundamental questions about what we assume about them. Just what exactly are we asking? Are we asking to find an answer that accords with some other, already-familiar concepts? If we find something that is totally 'different,' how will we explain it (we don't do very well 'explaining' the electron, for example)? In physics, sometimes 'time' is equated with 'motion.' I have read physicists who insist that there is only motion and not time at all. This I think is a little simplistic and precipitous. In classical relativity, 'time' is part of 'space' in a kind of equation (perhaps something like 'space + time = 0') that says 'the faster you use space, the less time you have.' This is an oversimplification, but I think it'll do for this discussion. This means that time = space in a very real sense, so what Aquinas says about time applies equally to space and is not the fallacy of compposition. This nature of spacetime is the reason Mercury is in 'the wrong place,' for it is so deep in the sun's acceleration (gravity) that time runs more slowly on it than it does on earth. The same holds true for clocks in orbit, which run about 38,700 nanoseconds per day faster than clocks on earth. So we can't actually assume the same nature or the same kind of nature for time that we do for space. They are different though inextricable. Thus, I think that we actually can do and say as St Thomas does about time (he says early on in the Summa Contra Gentiles that we can't regress in time for infinity, which I think is true if the Big Bang Theory has validity to it, and thus the argument fro motion --- which I think quite convincing --- is in fact valid and true) without committing the Fallacy of Composition, because he's talking about something quite apart from space which seems to have a beginning, considering what we've seen of its expansion and motion. Something --- someone --- set it in motion. Trent, of course, goes on to reason carefully about the 'extreme forms' of the Fallacy of Composition and about everything else in this episode, and does so ennobling his mind and ours. Thank him for us (again), and thank you.

I listen to Catholic videos in the mornings while prepping my upcoming lesson plans. I was prepping one on a part of The Crucible, where the credibility of witnesses is challenged. That was right when 44:57 played, lol. Thanks for the idea, Matt! Pull quotes from Fatherhood will be in tomorrow's lesson, right before the author's mugshot.

I love me some Matt Fradd and I love me some Trent Horn. But I really love it when they're together!

Just when I thought this couldn’t get any better, the dog showed up!

Bravo! Great discussion!

Love this interview. Please do more like this.

Finally got through this! Thanks Matt and Trent. God bless.

God bless everyone and have a good day ❤

Wonderful discussion on a wide variety of topics. Keep up the good work Matt!

God bless Sir Trent

This made me remember how grateful I was that I don't have to understand everything to be allowed to participate at Mass to return and receive Holy Communiion, and the great comfort and gratitude that the Truth doesn't depend on whether or not I believe it, and that faith isn't arrived at purely through reason. It is the gift of God to whoever will open their heart to Him. So in that sense Truth does depend on us :).

These multi-hours interview would be better if they are indexed to questions or topics by time on video.

😮♥️ WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DOG!

My two favorite Apologists in RU-vid. ✊🏼🤩

I love these long in depth conversation ❤

Great interview

Awesome. Thanks Matt, thanks Trent.

As the world gets more chaotic and confusing, the more this protestant leans and looks towards the Orthodox and Catholic church for answers.

This is great. Thanks

Great interview!

Two of my favorite people.

The way he described his conversion I felt the same exact thing from Catholic to evangelical. God is so good!! He wants us to all connect. Tower of Babylon. Mans ideals are not important but the truth of God is of the ultimate importance. Us Christians must reconnect!!!! Forget the man made distractions.

What an amazing conversation, where and how do I find people like you guys? I am a new Catholic in London and it seems very hard to find a community.

Mint audio and video quality.

Studied logic years ago....,brings back memories....

The peace prayer??!!!NOT from St. Francis????!!!! But I have a mug that proves it was! ;p (Protestant here who's world is now shook. St. Francis is one of my favorite old saints outside of the biblical ones.) My coffee mug now exists to mock my disillusionment, though it's still a great prayer.

Watching this video back in 2021. It's so weird to see Matt without his beard!

So good. So so good.

What an incredible mind. Wow 😮

Just an FYI, William Wallace WAS a real man. I am related to him through his mothers line. Other than that, this was a really interesting episode. 👍🏻 A bit long though, LoL - had to watch it in two sittings. 😂

2:05:00 Pascal 2:05:30 Rodney Stark survey / religious people live longer, are ealthier, etc 2:05:00 Salvation is about how to have heaven into me 2:10:00 divine hiddenness / evil / suffer 2:26:00 how predestination and freewill ork together : Luis Molina 2:33:00 not being able to solve difficulties is not the system is wrong

Matured and fully assured.
