Matt Fradd vs. Santa
I’ve listened to Pints With Aquinas since about the beginning of 2017. It was part of my initiative to finally stop being afraid of St. Thomas Aquinas and his magnum opus, the Summa. This morning, as I was getting ready for work, I was listening to the latest episode of the podcast. Oh boy… This week Matt tackled so many topics which are sure to irritate many!
Should I lie to my kids about Santa Claus?
Would it have been allowable to lie to the Nazis?
Should we be allowed to take Communion in the hand?
Is swearing okay?
How does Matt (and St. Thomas) answer these questions? Click here to find out. For what it’s worth, I don’t necessarily agree 100% with all the points made here, but that’s another post for another time…
After finishing the episode, I did tweet Matt, pointing out that he missed an obvious fund-raising gimmick with this episode…
Matt recently quit his job and will be devoting himself to the podcast full-time. If you’re an awesome person and want to prove it, you could even donate a few dollars each month to the apostolate via Patreon.
