Summary

Please join me as I sit down with Thomist and Catholic priest Father Christopher Pietraszko to discuss Saint Thomas Aquinas’s doctrine of Catholic priesthood. We explore how Saint Thomas does not see “bishop” as a separate Holy Order but as an elevation of “priest.” We also discover how laypeople and parishes can incorporate Thomism as a practical theology for growing in sanctity in Christ.

0:00.0	All right, well welcome. I'm sitting here via Skype with Father Christopher Pashro, and we're going to talk about St. Thomas Aquinas and the priesthood, and get fathers some thoughts on this, and we're going to talk about the nature of the
0:15.2	priesthood and how it relates to the episcopate and then maybe get into how Thomas's theology and his philosophy is pastoral.
0:25.0	It's not just something for the seminary or the academy or the university,
0:29.4	but it's actually something that can form and sanctify a parish.
0:33.4	So Father, welcome.
0:34.7	Thanks.
0:35.7	How are you doing, Taylor?
0:36.9	I'm great.
0:37.9	Can you tell everybody where you're at, your parish,

1:13.2	And so I was introduced to it by my professor named Dr. Fox who studied at St. Thomas
1:19.7	University in the United States.
1:22.4	And ever since I encountered St Thomas in our lectures and our school,
1:30.0	I might confidence in what the church teaches on so many levels increased exponentially.
1:38.0	He made sense out of a lot of things and I just kind of fell in love with him.
1:41.5	So I consider myself an aspiring student of him.
1:44.8	I wouldn't consider myself an expert in any stretch of the imagination, but I love what he has to say about our fate.
