Summary

Become a patron of Pints With Aquinas here.

Today on Pints With Aquinas I interview Fr. Gregory Pine about papal infallibility!

Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P. serves as the Assistant Director for Campus Outreach for the Thomistic Institute. Born and raised near Philadelphia, PA, he later attended the Franciscan University of Steubenville, studying mathematics and humanities. Upon graduating, he entered the Dominican Province of St. Joseph in 2010 and was ordained in 2016. “It was St. Thomas Aquinas who first introduced me to the Order, and by his prayers that I grew in knowledge and love of its saving mission and ultimately came to find my happiness in Order of Friars Preachers.”

Here's the section we read from the ST:

I answer that, Wherever there are several authorities directed to one purpose, there must needs be one universal authority over the particular authorities, because in all virtues and acts the order is according to the order of their ends (Ethic. i, 1,2). Now the common good is more Godlike than the particular good. Wherefore above the governing power which aims at a particular good there must be a universal governing power in respect of the common good, otherwise there would be no cohesion towards the one object. Hence since the whole Church is one body, it behooves, if this oneness is to be preserved, that there be a governing power in respect of the whole Church, above the episcopal power whereby each particular Church is governed, and this is the power of the Pope. Consequently those who deny this power are called schismatics as causing a division in the unity of the Church. Again, between a simple bishop and the Pope there are other degrees of rank corresponding to the degrees of union, in respect of which one congregation or community includes another; thus the community of a province includes the community of a city, and the community of a kingdom includes the community of one province, and the community of the whole world includes the community of one kingdom.

ST Supp. Q. 40, A. 6.

Hello! Welcome to Pines of the Quiders! My name's Matt Fred.

0:03.6

If you could sit down over a pint of beer with tubbers of gladis and ask him anyone question,

0:08.0

what would it be? Today we are joined around the bar table by Father Gregory Pine to discuss

0:14.1

papal infallibility. Glad you could make it.

0:17.4

Okay, okay, okay. Grab a drink because Father Gregory and I are drinking and I'm really glad you could

0:34.5

make it. Hey, guess who we have on the show next week? I'm not going to, you guess. No?

0:42.5

Okay, I'll just tell you, Dr. Peter Craved. Next week, tune into Pines of the Quiders. I

0:49.7

interviewed Dr. Peter Craved. It was such a fun and fantastic discussion. Honestly, I think I'm

0:56.4

going to call it Pines of the Peter Craved next week because we did discuss Thomas Aquinas,

1:00.7

but it was, I just took every opportunity I had to ask him every question I've ever wanted to

1:05.0

ask him and it was a fantastic episode. You're going to absolutely love it. Also, I need to let you

1:10.6

know that next week we are going to start selling these Nonissite Domine, Pines of the Quiders T-shirts.

1:18.4

Nonissite Domine is Latin for and we're going to discuss that in Peter Craved's episode, actually.

1:23.1

Nothing if not you, Lord. It's what Aquinas said to Jesus when he said,

1:27.3

what will you have as your reward for writing so well of me? These are beautiful T-shirts. We

1:32.3

also have beautiful women T-shirts. We have sweaters, long-sleeved shirts. They're not available yet.

1:37.4

They're going to be available when I interview Peter Craved next week and they're only going to be

1:41.3

available for about seven days. That's right, just seven days. So get your geeky Latin T-shirt on.

1:49.1

A great conversation starter. We're keeping the prices as low as we can. Really great quality.

1:54.4

You're going to love them. They're super great. The design's awesome. So look out for that as well.

1:59.2

Today's episode was really fun. I'm serious. Go get a drink. I'll wait. Go.

2:03.6

Too many cranes. So so.
