Summary

Join Michael Knowles for an in-depth and engaging discussion with Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P., a leading Thomistic scholar, Dominican priest, adjunct professor of dogmatic theology, Assistant Director of the Thomistic Institute, and author of Prudence: Choose Confidently, Live Boldly, as they explore the life, theology, and timeless wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinas—the Angelic Doctor whose Summa Theologiae continues to shape Catholic thought. In this expert dialogue, they unpack Aquinas' profound insights on faith and reason, the Five Ways to God's existence, divine simplicity, natural law, virtue ethics, grace, happiness, and how his medieval genius speaks powerfully to modern challenges in culture, morality, and daily Christian living—offering accessible clarity, lively exchange, and practical applications for anyone seeking deeper understanding of one of the Church's greatest minds. Whether you're a seasoned student of Thomism or new to his towering intellect, this conversation delivers rich, thought-provoking content from two sharp Catholic voices. - - - Today's Sponsor: Hallow - Download Hallow for 3 months free at https://hallow.com/knowles - - - Become a Daily Wire Member and watch all of our content ad-free: https://dailywire.com/subscribe 🍿 The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin is now streaming exclusively on DailyWire+ Watch now: https://dwplus.watch/ThePendragon Subscribe here: https://pendragonseries.com 📘 My book "Speechless: Controlling Words, Controlling Minds" is available here: https://dwplus.shop/Speechless 🕯️ Get your Michael Knowles candles: https://thecandleclub.com/collections/michael-knowles 👕 Don’t dress like a squish.
