The Pints with Aquinas Story - Matt Fradd

[@pintswithaquinas]

I was so jet lagged and sick in this interview! Was still fun. Thanks Charbel!

[@charbelraish3122]

It was great to have you here! Love to do it again some time. Praying for you great work! Thanks for all you do!

It can be seen on your face, that you're exhausted! Fortunately it didn't negatively impact your discussion, at least from a listener's perspective :)

Matt, check out the book "Earthing" by Clinton Ober, Stephen T Sinatra MD, Martin Zucker. Earthing or grounding should ease the effects of jet lag by grounding your electromagnetic field with the earth you are standing on. Try it.

Loved the beautiful way you interviewed Matt. I really appreciate that you are So humble and so other focused. Not making it about you. The Lord bless you.

Subscriber to Pints here from Lakewood, Ohio. Wonderful Podcast. I watched every one of the 78 minutes of it. One of these days, I want to go to matt's cigar bar. I imagine sitting there reading a good book and sipping a Tullamore Dew while puffing on a good cigar would be a much better way to spend my time than arguing on the internet about "things out of my control." I'm 67 years old, and that closing comment hit me right in the heart.

As a former Protestant who became Catholic a few years ago, i found this conversation so enriching. Love your work!

[@angrypotato_fz]

Good talk!

God bless you Matt. You had a part to play in my conversion to Catholicism. Love from NZ 💚

Two wonderful men

Thanks for this interview. I knew Matt came from Australia, and I didn't know his background. Very interesting to hear his life journey. Blessings.

Love Matt's watery red eyes

I just watched the podcast where you discuss the filioque. In one of my many visions I was permitted to swim around inside the Godhead which I found was composed of infinite living virtues. So infinite living Holiness and infinite living power. At some point I come upon the Trinity. Each divine person was represented by the front of a heart with arteries connecting each of the divine person with each other. The arteries totaled six two from each divine person to each of the other divine person. The infinite ocean of living holiness was propelled through these arteries from and too each of the three persons. As I drifted behind the first heart I was informed that this heart represented God the Father then I was pumped through one side to another person and was informed that this represented the Holy Spirit and finally I was pumped through the last artery to God the Son. Each heart was identical there was no way to tell which divine person was which until they themselves informed me. Finally I drifted off from behind the third heart and was transported back to my room where my body was still saying the Rosary. Although this vision seem to have lasted about half an hour I found that not one Hail Mary had gone by during the vision.

I was just wondering if Matt had ever been on the opposite end of an interview.

Ireland isn't lost but the Republic of Ireland is seriously on its last legs. Its the Protestants in the North who are fighting back there and we don't have them in the South.

I couldn't find an email address through Matt's websites. Wanted to comment on dopamine - might help to characterize what it does... re: Parkinson's. When I describe it to others, I hold out an arm and tell them "we have a neurotransmitter (a chemical that communicates between nerves), that lets our brain tell our arm to stick out like this." Then I drop it, and say, we have another one that lets our brains tell us to do that. - That's dopamine." So, dopamine allows our arm to relax. Parkinsonians don't have that, so they stiffen up. Can someone share this with Matt? it might give a different nuance to his explanation in his anti-porn ministry. (I left an MSc program in chemistry to enter a religious community. I couldn't do the extrapolation. :) )
