Balancing Faith & Reason | Matt Fradd

Matt Fradd is a Catholic apologist and the host of the popular podcast, "Pints with Aquinas." Fradd is an eloquent defender of the Catholic faith and a champion of civil discourse around even the most contentious topics, from cultural analysis to religious philosophy. In today’s episode, we dissect ideas like toxic skepticism, the West’s normalization of sin, and the pragmatic application of Catholic principles. We also explore what it means to be “free” and compare the ritual similarities between Catholicism and Judaism. Stay tuned and enjoy this episode of the Sunday Special!

You can tell Matt genuinely wants to help people and share his love for Christ. He was one of the ones who introduced me to Catholicism. May God bless him and his efforts

I’m a 15 year old Catholic convert (finished conversion at 14). My parents are atheist and something you said really stuck out to me. It was the part about people not liking to talk about sin. I went to confession last weekend and my mom said “you have no sins, you’ve done nothing bad. You’re 14”. I think with religion we recognize all of us are broken people. I think with atheism people think that we are all perfect but so, times do bad things (for lack of better words). I think my parents and atheists in general don’t like to talk about sin, because they genuinely don’t understand it. Anyways may God bless you all and pray for my parents if you can. (Yes I know I’m not the average teenager 😂)

As a Protestant and subscriber to both Ben and Matt, I really enjoyed these two discussing religion in a respectful manner.

We need Ben on Pints with Aquinas for 3 hours with Matt just being curious with simple questions!

[fr.antoniofarrugia]

Matt, you are a champion. On behalf of all Catholic priests, thank you.

[JaceyMitchell]

Love Matt Fradd and Pints with Aquinas. One of the best podcasts out there by far.

I'm a Jew...indeed, a proud Jew...but honestly, the world needs Christianity now more than ever before!

[kaloncar]

"Being chosen doesn't mean superior" This explanation is a great and important message for the world to hear.

[DeniseSPSP]

I'm catholic, a Jew and a Catholic walk into a bar and chat about God. What a joy!

[andrewdalton]

Thanks, Ben and Matt, for being bright lights in a world immersed in darkness! I’ve long loved you both, and it’s beautiful to see the brotherhood between you!

With my priestly blessing,
Fr Andrew

This was excellent. Matt and Ben have such engaging dialog with each other. I'd love to see Ben on Pints.

I like how matt took over the interview and then they began to really talk

[bettinawright]

This conversation has been such a blessing. I’m Christian but not catholic, however very fascinated by the theology of both Judaism and Catholicism. Thank you both so much ❤️🙏❤️

[steveguti]

Jesus Christ died for our Sins according to the scriptures and that he was Buried and he rose Again the third day praise God praying for everyone Everyday God bless you all

[Jamesrs]

It's a shame Matt didn't ask Ben about the talmud and about the new Israel, The One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church. That would of been good.

[Gajus_Julius]

There is no such thing as judeo christian ethics, there are judean ethics and there are christian ethics.

[theotokos]

I’m a Catholic and a big fan of Pints with Aquinas, and I really loved hearing about Judaism. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Jews recognize that Christians are monotheists still when they profess the Trinity. Great interview! Do more of these, please!

[MarysKnoll]

Matt Fradd, you are yourself in this interview - brilliant because of your authentic faith in the rationality of your proper basic beliefs.
I've taken notes because your responses are "in The Eucharist"...ie, there is nothing self-referential but only a clear report of your lived experience in Christ. Unique!!!
