Welcome to Pines of the Quinus, my name is Matt Frad.

If you could sit down over a pint of beer with Thomas Aquinas and ask him any one question,

what would it be? Today we are joined around the bar table by my good friend,

Father Damian Ferrance, to discuss Thomas's epistemology. How do we know stuff?

And how do we know that we know stuff and the like? Enjoy the show!

I'm in good to have you back at Pines with Aquinas, the show where you and I pull up a bar

stall next to the angelic doctor to discuss theology and philosophy. I hope you enjoyed last week's

episode on the Sumithiology and how to read it. It's been really cool to see many of you

reach out to me and tell me how you're reading Aquinas for yourself. I hope you also enjoyed

my sister's talk. If you didn't listen to that, it's the one beneath this one in your podcast

feed, so be sure to go listen to that. Today we're going to dive into deep philosophical waters

with Father Damian Ferrance to discuss, as I already said, epistemology. This is a fascinating

discussion and I know you're going to love it. After you've listened to the show, do me a favor.

Let me know what you thought about it on Twitter. I always love hearing your feedback.

We have a Pines with Aquinas Twitter account. And if you don't know, we also have a Pines with

Aquinas Instagram page. I think it's under At Matt Frad. Okay, that's the handle. And I have

somebody who posts around four or so memes every week. I send him the quotes from Thomas Aquinas.

He puts beautiful images behind them and puts them up. And they look really cool. So be a cool

thing to do. Maybe follow me on Instagram. You can get those inspirational memes a few times

a week. Hope you enjoy the show. Here we go. Father Damian Ferrance, what is up?

Well, the temperature is up a little bit here in Cleveland, Ohio. And it's wet. So hopefully my soul,

my spirit, my virtue, but I don't know what's up with you. I just started renting an office in
