  • Incredible Presentation of St. Thomas

    This show is a true gift. I’m almost done slowly working my way through the Summa. It’s taken a few years. I’m about to start the supplement, and my wife just sent me this podcast the other day. I was excited for a chance to reinforce everything I’ve already read and hear it put into contemporary language. This is a must listen for all Catholics interested in the intellectual life. So good!

  • Awesome podcast!

    Austin is brilliant in his ability to succinctly and reverently summarize the greatest work of Catholic and philosophical literature beside the Bible, aka St. Thomas Aquinas’ Summa. He makes it so easy to understand and gives current examples on occasion to help relate seemingly classical ideas to the modern listener who may not be familiar with classical jargon. I highly recommend this podcast.

  • Amazing Podcast

    Austin Habash explains the Suma with amazing clarity by using mostly plain talk and simple easy to understand examples and analogies. I’m getting so much more out of the Summa than I did by simply reading St. Thomas Aquinas’ words.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Day 48: The Image of God
Q: Whether man in his first state could be deceived?
Aquinas holds that the first man could not be mistaken regarding natural things, as man's nature would not have any defect; deception occurred due to interior sin.
Day 48: The Image of God
Q: Whether the first man knew all things?
Aquinas posits that as a naturally perfect being, Adam would possess complete knowledge of those things necessary for governance and supernatural truths required to direct human life.
Day 48: The Image of God
Q: Whether Adam in the state of innocence saw the angels through their essence?
Adam's soul could not understand separate substances, so he could not know angels as they are in themselves; however, he would have had better knowledge of angels compared to humans post-Fall.
Day 48: The Image of God
Q: What was man's mind like before the fall?
Aquinas argues that the first man did not see God as he is, but had a clear contemplation of the intelligible effects perceived by the first truth.
