0:02.0	Hmm, try that again. Gidey. How are you? I'm Matt Frad. Welcome to Pints with Aquinas.
0:10.0	Today, I will be joined around the bar table by my good mate, Jimmy Aiken, to discuss faith and reason.
0:17.0	In his encyclical, John Paul II, said that faith and reason are like two wings on which the
0:21.9	human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth and God has placed in the human heart a desire
0:26.9	to know the truth in a word to know himself so that by knowing and loving God men and women
0:32.4	may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves. This is going to be a very helpful episode to you.
