The most wonderful thing about Matt Fradd and Pints with Aquinas is that it seems like Matt is learning along with us. With all the brilliant speakers (especially the excellent Fr. Gregory Pine) you see Matt engaging and wanting to learn how to live more faithfully and wisely. There's something so unique about his honesty and his desire to apply everything the speakers talk about practically to his own life. It is why Pints with Aquinas feels like a journey with a man who acknowledges his state as a sinner and is seeking out how to be holy. God Bless you, Matt.

YES I heard Matt speak in person several times and I’ll never forget how he emphasized how this isn’t just him talking at us or about the holy “us” and then the sinful “them” or “you” it’s ALL of us in this journey of life and sin and struggle TOGETHER just trying to grow and improve ourselves and become virtuous people

Thank you so much for sharing this with us, Matthius Fraddius.

This episode was so human, so real and chock full of inspiration. Took tons of notes on quotes. As a Catholic sinner striving to be a saint, I worry constantly about being authentic in my prayer life and also in how others view my practice of my Catholic faith. Fun and thought provoking discussion. It’s nice to know I’m not alone. You two were great.

It's been a while since I've listened to your podcast or watched your KZread videos @MattFradd and forgot how full of sense of humor your platforms are! Glad I was able to watch this one and will continue to do so! Thankful for the insights from Fr. Gregory Pine and yourself! God bless!

100k incoming lads... 👀 Been listening for a few years now Matty, from Scotland to now Pittsburgh, grateful for your work, can't wait to grab a pint with you one day 👌

Thank you so much Fr. Gregory. Thank you Mat.

"playing the hand you were dealt" - great, wise, helpful, aaaand these two gents were dealt the "ridendo dicere verum" cards. Thank you so much and Dominus noster Iesus Christus vos benedicat and protegat.

This brought to mind Thomas Merton’s analogy of grace being a ray of light entering a crystal that gives a new radiance to the crystal . Each crystal with its unique shape and clarity will emit a different form of radiance. All are beautiful creations of God’s love.

This was so amazing!!! Thank you Matt!! Your channel is really amazing.

Thank you for sharing this Matt. I really appreciate it.

This was amazing!! Thank you for sharing. My favorite Bible quote is very relevant to the theme of this talk, “My grace is sufficient for thee; for power is made perfect in infirmity.” 2 Corinthians, Ch 12

This is awesome and an unexpected surprise.

You always take great care to be precise and balanced, thank you Matt!

Thanks Matt for making this video public. It helped me a lot. Also I would suggest u make more videos like this where the interior life, its struggles and solutions are discussed. I think it will benefit many. God bless u Matt

The hand we're dealt and how to use it is a great analogy. I really appreciate this conversation so much, really have me a different way to look at how I have been dealing with myself lately.

What a wonderful video Father Pine is so amazing and it was so nice to see him “almost” relaxing. I really want the opportunity to meet him in person.

such a good episode

This was such an excellent episode that at the end I genuinely found myself clapping along in front of the screen! 😂 Thank you Matt and fr. Gregory, God bless you!

I really enjoyed listening to that conversation between you and that very articulate priest who seems to be very smart and have a lot of wisdom for such a young priest, who looks like he's just out of high school and Matt you are one funny dude, I mean bloke.

God bless you both and guide you always.

Really great chat. Did Gregory open a beer with his robe? That was cool...

excellent work - relevant discourse - family is the toughest, most rewarding job - bravo

Please, please pray for my salvation brothers and sisters and please offer up your sacrifices for me to help me make reparation for my sins and for my salavtion! I was away from the Church for 7 years and led a very sinful life! Thank you

Matt, I have a doubt with intercessory prayer through saints. How can a saint know what I am praying. For eg: If I pray to saint Antony of Padua, how will he understand Malayalam because he is Portuguese. God will know but how can saints

The Saints are with God in Heaven and because God knows, they know b/c they are with Him. It pleases God for prayers to be answered through His saints, since God's glory is shown forth in them.

The same way we can pray to St Michael Archangel even not speaking the idiom of the angels. Because those who are in the Celestial Jerusalem, the Church Triumphant, can communicate on the concept of the “beatific vision”: that means the supernatural and perfect state of joy and knowledge through the sanctifying grace of God. “The beatific vision is when God, though transcendent, opens himself up to man and gives man the capacity to contemplate God in his heavenly glory.[11] Contemplation is the prayer of silently focusing on God and heeding his word; in other words, contemplation is the prayer of uniting with God.[12] The beatific vision, then, is ultimate union with God; indeed, it comes from sharing in God's holy nature via sanctifying grace.[13] Because God is beatitude and holiness itself, the beatific vision entails ultimate beatitude and holiness.[14] The beatific vision is a grace and a privilege intended for every man and angel, since God created men and angels to enjoy the beatific vision; the beatific vision is the ultimate purpose of each person's and angel's life.[15]” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatific_vision That’s not a dogma in itself, but a theological explanation of how the “communio sanctorum” (communion of saints) works, but a high certainty proclamation of the magisterium. Eastern Orthodox believes quite similarly, although they don’t use the terminology “beatific vision”.

Just to also conclude to the comments...Saints can understanding everything since they first received the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and they able to speak in tongues and because Jesus is the reason being the one mediator...that is exactly He is for! He is in heaven giving that connection now since He is and they (Saints) are in His presence knowing through the beatific vision - knowing who who and how God is yet they are not God(s) but like God. Understand! Bible is very clear in book of revelations and Maccabees (books that heretics took out in order to differentiate themselves from Catholic Church - the original Christians' teachings. By they way, as middle eastern Christian Catholic we too confirm from our ancestors faith the teaching of the early Christians as practicing Catholics and non other...unless they were actually heretics believing things like what some protestants and others as Jahovah Witnesses etc...)...Goodbye...say whatever you like

@Logan T we all live in mortal sin before baptism because that's our default state of being. But if you were to die before becoming Catholic, one would believe that God would keep you from he'll because of your desire to be purified. If it makes you feel better, you can make an examination of conscious & say an act of contrition at the end of each day.

It's a good thing you stopped the interview when you did because I think Father Pine was on his third or fourth beer.
