Summary

This week’s episode of “Pints with Aquinas” is about abortion. I talk with Lila Rose, a pro-life author, about the Catholic stance on abortion, what we can do about it, and what Christ’s will is for us.

We also discuss:
- The urgency and scale of the problem of abortion in the world.
- The importance of understanding our role in life and the goal of Heaven.
- How to overcome the evil within us before the evil outside of us.

I'd like to announce my new book How to Be Happy, St. Thomas's Secret to a Good Life.

0:06.8

Although just about every marketing firm self-help guru and man on the street has an answer,

0:13.3

very few, if any, understand true happiness. It doesn't come from power, pleasure,

0:19.9

popularity or possessions. So what is happiness and how do we find it?

0:25.0

In How to Be Happy, I rely on the help of St. Thomas Aquinas to show what will and won't

0:31.6

bring us happiness in this life. My hope is that by making the thought of Aquinas accessible for

0:37.2

today, my new book will be a helpful guide to a good life. Check the link in the description of

0:43.1

this video to get your copy today.

0:56.7

On the show, we have Laila Rose, who will be taking your questions on whatever you want. Laila,

1:12.0

you can see it behind your shoulder there, fighting for life. This is not what many people would expect,

1:21.2

1:45.6

1:51.6

world that you are concerned about abortion or some other social political spiritual issue.

1:58.6

And then say, I want to go and change that. I want to go and make a difference. And how do you do that?

2:04.2

How do you get started? What does that mean for our own personal change that is required to rise

2:11.6

to the occasion? And so it's basically 27 lessons for how to be an activist, not an activist in

2:18.1

the world-based sense, holy, but an activist also in the evangelical spiritual sense. What does

2:23.3

it mean to actually change the world and what changes required within? So it's 27 lessons.

2:27.6

And all my life experience and best and worst stories all together. And there you have it. That's

2:34.4

that's fighting for life. Well, beautiful. Well, we have a link at the very top of the description.
