Summary

Today we'll take a look at one of Aquinas' lesser known works, On Evil. In it, among other things, he addresses the question, can the demons read our thoughts. That's what we'll be discussing. --- Here is the Anima Christi prayer I shared: Soul of Christ, sanctify me Body of Christ, save me Blood of Christ, inebriate me Water from Christ's side, wash me Passion of Christ, strengthen me O good Jesus, hear me Within Thy wounds hide me Suffer me not to be separated from Thee From the malicious enemy defend me In the hour of my death call me And bid me come unto Thee That I may praise Thee with Thy saints and with Thy angels Forever and ever Amen --- SPONSORS EL Investments: https://www.elinvestments.net/pints Exodus 90: https://exodus90.com/mattfradd/ Hallow: http://hallow.app/mattfradd STRIVE: https://www.strive21.com/ GIVING Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd This show (and all the plans we have in store) wouldn't be possible without you.

0:00.0	Welcome to Pints with Aquinas Episode 47. I'm Matt Frad. If you could sit down with
0:07.9	St. Thomas Aquinas over a pint of beer and ask him any one question what would it be?
0:15.0	In today's episode we'll ask St. Thomas the question, can the demons read our minds?
0:31.0	Welcome back to Pints with Aquinas, the show where you and I pull up a
0:35.0	barstle next to the angelic doctor to discuss theology and philosophy. Listen,
0:41.5	this show Pints with Aquinas depends on your support. So if you would like to
0:45.8	support the show, for as little as $2 a month, go to Pints with Aquinas.com and
0:50.9	click the Patreon banner and you can begin supporting. And for those of you who
0:54.8	already are supporting the show, thank you so much. I know it's a cliche but it
0:59.6	wouldn't exist without you because it takes a lot of time to do this show in my
1:03.1	spare time actually. And so thank you very much. Can the devils know our thoughts?
1:10.7	Have you ever wondered that? I think I have. Here's what the catacasem of the
1:16.8	Catholic Church has to say about Satan by the way. We should probably begin there
1:20.4	shouldn't we? Since there are Christians who maybe today have fallen under the
1:27.4	false belief that the church doesn't teach that Satan is real or that hell is real
1:34.0	or that the demons exist. That isn't true. And it seems to me that if we want to
1:39.6	say we are followers of Jesus Christ, then we ought to believe what Jesus Christ
1:43.3	taught. And since Jesus Christ taught that Satan and the demons exist and since
1:47.9	Holy Scripture teaches it and since his Holy Church, which he founded, does,
1:53.4	to say with a straight face that we follow Jesus while denying what Jesus taught
1:58.4	seems to me to be, well, not a good thing. So here's what the catacasem of the Catholic
2:04.7	Church has to say about Satan and will begin in paragraph 391. Behind the disobedient choice
