\"Matt\"\"Santapunch\"<\/p>\n

I’ve listened to Pints With Aquinas<\/a> since about the beginning of 2017. It was part of my initiative to finally\u00a0stop being afraid of St. Thomas Aquinas and his magnum opus, the Summa<\/a>. This morning, as I was getting ready for work, I was listening to the latest episode<\/a> of the podcast.\u00a0Oh boy… This week Matt tackled so many topics which are sure to irritate many!<\/p>\n

Should I lie to my kids about Santa Claus?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Would it have been allowable to lie to the Nazis? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Should we be allowed to take Communion in the hand? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Is swearing okay?<\/strong><\/p>\n

How does Matt (and St. Thomas) answer these questions? Click here<\/a> to find out.\u00a0For what it’s worth, I don’t necessarily agree 100% with all the points made here, but that’s another post for another time…<\/p>\n

After finishing the episode, I did\u00a0tweet Matt, pointing out that he missed an obvious fund-raising gimmick with this episode…<\/p>\n

\"Fradd1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
