Thank you for your honesty and realness Matt. And thank you for acknowledging women in the struggle 🙏

[@CatholicNicklas]

I'm here because I've masturbated multiple times today alone, I really need your prayers!

[@Derbas777Fold]

I'll be praying, pray for me as well.

*1 cor 15:33* "bad company corrupts good character" ; *Psalms 1:1* "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. *2 cor 10:5* cast down your imagination under his will ; *mat **16:24* deny thyself *Galatians 5:22-23* against the fruits of the spirit there is no law

'St. Thomas at the end of his life was raised up to a supernatural contemplation of the mysteries of the faith, such that he could not dictate the end of the Summa Theologica, the last part of the treatise on Penance. He could no longer compose articles with a status quaestionis, beginning with three difficulties, followed by the body of the article and by the answers to the objections. The higher unity which he had now attained made him view all theological principles more simply and more radiantly, and he could no longer descend to the complexity of a purely didactic exposition.' Reginald Garrigou Lagrange

When I heard him say "there is a need for a crusade..." 36:00 I immediately took my sword out and almost mounted my horse until I heard him say it was about manliness...

Got everything down, but brushing the teeth, twice a day. I will do that now.

Could you provide the references in Aquinas work in the description to make it easier. Thank you for a great video Cameron!

As one who struggles with lust, I wonder why human males continue to have a sexual drive..long after the age of reproduction. It seems to me that it would be better if this drive went away after age 40 or so.

[@tonychulog12]

LOVE. What's the link for the cool merch?

[@curtweigel8460]

Love the analogy of the MMA fighter!

[@themonsterunderyourbed9408]

This whole "Women struggle too!!" thing really upsets me. I know they do, kind of. But no woman will ever understand what it's like to be a man with these impulses. Whatever women feel with lust, men experience it by multiple orders of magnitude more. It's like if a doctor is working on a man with a gunshot wound to the liver and then suddenly a woman bursts into the OR and says "EXCUSE ME!!! I have a sprained ankle! I'm suffering too!!! Pay attention to me!". Take a fkn seat lady, you don't need the same attention this guy does.

[@cardboardcapeii4286]

Some women have as strong or stronger sexual desires than man (I’ve heard). Both sexes are sexual beings

[@CHAZER-sp5cm]

Great episode

[@TJ_USA]

5 mins in and you have said precisely nothing. Life is too short.

[@pintswithaquinas]

Okay.

[@robertmenezes6456]

Paul MacDonnell aw come on you have eternity to go, time is one thing we have

[@BrockSamson18]

Hot tempers cause arguments, but patience brings peace. (Proverbs 15:18)

[@CHAZER-sp5cm]

Mate in the first 5 mins Matt have an introduction, a Short announcement and definitions to key words Aquinas used. The rest of the episode is gold, thanks Matt!

[@ransomcoates546]

It’s the same with Ben Shapiro. He has a weighty topic to discuss and suddenly he breaks out into an ad for mattresses.
