The Pints with Aquinas Story - Matt Fradd

As a former Protestant who became Catholic a few years ago, i found this conversation so enriching. Love your work!

Good talk!

Ireland isn't lost but the Republic of Ireland is seriously on its last legs. Its the Protestants in the North who are fighting back there and we don't have them in the South.

I was just wondering if Matt had ever been on the opposite end of an interview.

I couldn't find an email address through Matt's websites. Wanted to comment on dopamine - might help to characterize what it does... re: Parkinson's. When I describe it to others, I hold out an arm and tell them "we have a neurotransmitter (a chemical that communicates between nerves), that lets our brain tell our arm to stick out like this." Then I drop it, and say, we have another one that lets our brains tell us to do that. - That's dopamine." So, dopamine allows our arm to relax. Parkinsonians don't have that, so they stiffen up. Can someone share this with Matt? it might give a different nuance to his explanation in his anti-porn ministry. (I left an MSc program in chemistry to enter a religious community. I couldn't do the extrapolation. :) )

I was so jet lagged and sick in this interview! Was still fun. Thanks Charbel!

Subscriber to Pints here from Lakewood, Ohio. Wonderful Podcast. I watched every one of the 78 minutes of it. One of these days, I want to go to matt's cigar bar. I imagine sitting there reading a good book and sipping a Tullamore Dew while puffing on a good cigar would be a much better way to spend my time than arguing on the internet about "things out of my control." I'm 67 years old, and that closing comment hit me right in the heart.

Love Matt's watery red eyes

God bless you Matt. You had a part to play in my conversion to Catholicism. Love from NZ 💚

Excellent, thank you, Charbel and Matt!

Thanks for this interview. I knew Matt came from Australia, and I didn't know his background. Very interesting to hear his life journey. Blessings.

Two wonderful men
