If you could sit down with St. Thomas Aquinas over a pint of beer and ask him any one question, what would it be? Every episode of Pints With Aquinas revolves around a question, a question that St. Thomas addresses in his most famous work, The Summa Theologica. So get your geek on, pull up a bar stool, and grab a cold one. Here we go!

04: Does purgatory really exist?: Whether there is a Purgatory after this life? Objection 1. It would seem that there is not a Purgatory after this life. For it is said (Apocalypse 14:13): "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. From henceforth now, saith the Spirit, that they may... by Pints With Aquinas

06: Why didn't you accept the immaculate conception, St. Thomas?: Objection 3. Further, as it has been stated above, no feast is celebrated except of some saint. But some keep the feast of the Conception of the Blessed Virgin. Therefore it seems that in her very Conception she was holy; and hence that she was... by Pints With Aquinas

09: What makes an act good or evil?: “The good or evil of an action, as of other things, depends on its fullness of being or its lack of that fullness. Now the first thing that belongs to the fullness of being seems to be that which gives a thing its species. And just as a natural... by Pints With Aquinas

07: Who created God?: First, whatever a thing has besides its essence must be caused either by the constituent principles of that essence (like a property that necessarily accompanies the species--as the faculty of laughing is proper to a man--and is caused by the... by Pints With Aquinas

02: Do we need faith to know that God exists?: It is written (Romans 1:19), "That which is known of God," namely, what can be known of God by natural reason, "is manifest in them." Our natural knowledge begins from sense. Hence our natural knowledge can go as far as it can be led by sensible... by Pints With Aquinas

25: Does Hell exist? Is it eternal? With Fr. Chis Pietraszko: On the contrary, It is written (Matthew 25:46): "These," namely the wicked, "shall go into everlasting punishment." Further, as reward is to merit, so is punishment to guilt. Now, according to Divine justice, an eternal reward is due to temporal... by Pints With Aquinas

47: Can the demons read our minds?: Today we'll take a look at one of Aquinas' lesser known works, On Evil. In it, among other things, he addresses the question, can the demons read our thoughts.

08: Was there death before the fall of man?: Objection 2: Further, it is unfitting that elements hostile to one another should be brought under the mastership of one. But many animals are hostile to one another, as the sheep and the wolf. Therefore all animals were not brought under the... by Pints With Aquinas

17: Is the ontological argument for God's existence sound?: [Even a] fool, when he hears of … a being than which nothing greater can be conceived … understands what he hears, and what he understands is in his understanding.… And assuredly that, than which nothing greater can be conceived, cannot exist in... by Pints With Aquinas

16: Can honors and fame make me happy?: It is impossible for happiness to consist in honor. For honor is given to a man on account of some excellence in him; and consequently it is a sign and attestation of the excellence that is in the person honored. Now a man's excellence is in... by Pints With Aquinas

13: Does evil disprove the existence of God?: Objection 1. It seems that God does not exist; because if one of two contraries be infinite, the other would be altogether destroyed. But the word "God" means that He is infinite goodness. If, therefore, God existed, there would be no evil... by Pints With Aquinas

11: Is the death penalty always wrong?: Article 2. Whether it is lawful to kill sinners? Objection 1. It would seem unlawful to kill men who have sinned.

03: Why are there 7 sacraments?: For spiritual life has a certain conformity with the life of the body: just as other corporeal things have a certain likeness to things spiritual.

30: Has science done away with the need for God? With Trent Horn: [I]t is superfluous to suppose that what can be accounted for by a few principles has been produced by many.
