Thomas Aquinas & Thomas More (ft. Michael Knowles)

[@benconnolly9883]

Two of my own patron saints. I'll enjoy this! Thomas and Thomas, pray for us

[@mlj567]

Proud to be a direct descendant of St. Thomas More. His daughter Margaret married a man named Roper. Their line carried down to my grandmother Edith Roper.

[@jozsefnemeth935]

Then you might've come across Chambers, R.W. (1935): Thomas More He writes about the sources and household. Roper, too. His style is so entertaining.

Knowles has a shocking depth of knowledge on so many deep topics. From the classics. Philisophy...Christopher columns is. Italian literature. Impressive

Great conversation, I entered the Church about a month ago St. Thomas was my confirmation Saint as well, Aquinas that is.

[@nicholaspresberg3269]

God bless!

[@yoricusrex]

Great video, very edifying to listen to. Very helpful especially to a new Catholic convert like myself. Looking forward to seeing more!

[@Jessica-wk7nf]

Michael is a very interesting speaking on Dante, too. He gives good college talks as well. He's an inspiring leader for conservatives and Catholics.

[@Delta19G]

Absolutely an A1 conversation

So interesting and great advice and direction. This is the education all young people should be given--to give them a chance...even if from abuse or other trauma or deprivation. I know.

I think the key difference between the Left and the Right is that the Left prefers the older broadcast media whereas the Right prefers the two-way communications of the Internet. That is, the Right was not kicked off the broadcast media, it found the two-way communication offered by the Internet more attractive.

Great ! ❤ blessed 🇺🇸

[@dialogos585]

Isn't that tripartite hierarchy similar to Plato's? Gold for the rulers, silver for the noble caretakers (firemen, generals, lawmakers, etc,) and brass or iron for the artisans, husbandmen and craftsmen.

[@benstarnes2048]

Michael, awesome interview! Serious Catholic content is mixed with well timed pithy humor 👌. But if I may offer just one piece of feedback … when the interviewer asks towards the end “What advice would you offer a college student considering a career in politics?” I think (St.) Thomas More would answer “Have you yet discerned a call to Catholic religious life?” If the best reward of an authentically Catholic statesman is eternal life and eternal glory, it seems the shortest and objectively surest route to Heaven ought to be considered first - religious life. The caveat to this advice is that I’ve not read the whole Summa Theologica and may be missing something. But St. Thomas More first pursued an ecclesiastical vocation before he switched course and pursued civil law. Just an observation so you can perhaps polish up an already outstandingly brilliant CATHOLIC and CONSERVATIVE sword! ⚔️ ⛪️ ❤️‍🔥 👑

Miasma: a highly unpleasant or unhealthy smell or vapor. "a miasma of stale alcohol hung around him like marsh gas" an oppressive or unpleasant atmosphere which surrounds or emanates from something. "there was a miasma of despair over this place"

Excellent bibliography: Chambers, R.W. (1935): Thomas More Life of the saint by Walter Nigg Thomas Morus : d. Heilige d. Gewissens by Nigg, Walter, 1903-;

[@StuartDay-t9n]

I have a difference of opinion about Thomas Aquinus. He is a philosopher who pushed gnosticism into Christianity. And becoming a part of the philosophical graph work of socialism. Being an influence on Hegel and Immanuel Kant, who then influenced Marx, Engles and Henri Saint-Simon.

[@balipsette]

Michael is brilliant. He’s wasting his talents at the DW. Or at the very least, being a political pundit. He should have his own series like Dr. Peterson has on the DW.

[@KiwiFromChowder]

Catholics should discuss St Thomas More *more* often.... I'll see myself out..

[@hkray1988]

I'm shocked to the core. This is the first time for me to hear Michael Knowles speak in normal tone, without provocative statements and ugly facial expressions, extremely dumb topics and opinions that rival conspiracy theories. Which means he plays a character on Daily Wire. I could have sworn that he was just dumb like Dave Rubin, but he's actually really smart person. Likeable even.

[@MirandaHutlet-wr1bw]

If you watch his long-format interviews on The Daily Wire he has a similar tone. I’ve seen many interviews he’s done in which his natural intelligence and breadth of knowledge shine!

[@hkray1988]

@@MirandaHutlet-wr1bw I didn't know that. I saw few shorter ones on TikToks, demons, yoga and astrology. And he was rather obnoxious in each and every one of them. I just assumed he's a comic relief of DW, and Matt Walsh is the serious one. I like the real Michael.

[@DrewDrawed]

Michael is definitely the serious one. You might only be seeing his provocative clips, but I do find his show challenging. while he may be discussing some derpy cultural issue of the day, he’s applying these principles that you see on display here to those issues. What I used to find shocking from Michael, is much less now because I understand why he’s saying what he’s saying

[@hkray1988]

@@DrewDrawed I watched what yt recommended, so I guess that algorithm simply misjudged what was worth seeing. This was the first quality stuff I've seen from Michael. I could listen to him for hours.

[@SpiritofAloha11]

The God and Man at Yale discussion convinced me that there's men who sit around and talk about culture while making zero impact on it, and men like Matt Walsh who are out there creating it. I've stopped listening to Knowles since.

[@danielr3127]

You do realize some people, like Knowles and Robert P. George, have a vocation primarily to teach culture rather than simply building it, which by the way is necessary because you need to understand what culture you should create before you attempt to create it. Plus, political commentary and professorship is part of the way you create a better culture. Either way, you can’t do everything with equal intensity.

[@stcolreplover]

lol, what a silly thing to say

[@loganparsons5179]

Ridiculous. Teaching history and culture is just as important making it.

[@Simonm-jc]

Setting aside Michael's interraction with podcasts, television, and other media, you don't seem to acknowledge the amount of people which this kind of content inspires to action.

[@SpiritofAloha11]

@danielr3127 name a single piece of culture that others have you to thank for that you can accredit to discussions from Knowles or George. The ppl that listen to this kind of putzing are the same ppl that are infatuated with Tom Bombadil.
