Aquinas is the great synthesizer of the natural law, but who exactly is he drawing from? Today, Dr. Randall Smith joins Ben Eriksen to discuss the various philosophers and theologians who influenced Aquinas’ thought. Dr. Smith argues that Aristotle did not greatly influence Aquinas' conception of the natural law; instead, he believes that Cicero, Maimonides, and Philo of Alexandria were more pivotal. This enlightening conversation reveals the great depth of the natural law tradition and how we can contribute to this tradition in the modern era.

Despite the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, abortions are still rising, and many are using abortion pills. But for those who take the abortion pill and then decide to keep their child, there is a process to reverse the effects of the pill pioneered by Dr. Delgado, who joins us today.

Dr. Delgado has recently written “Abortion Pill Reversal: A Second Chance at Choice,” where he details this medical innovation and several moving stories where women have decided to keep their child and successfully given birth to healthy babies. In today’s episode, he joins Rose Trabbic to give a brief overview of his background, his own growth in the Catholic Faith, the revolutionary use of progesterone, and the thousands of children he has helped give a second chance of life.

If Liturgy is God’s gift to man, then sacred music should immerse us in the atmosphere of Heaven.

Cardinal Robert Sarah was the prefect of the congregation for divine worship from 2014 until 2021, and he has now published a new book "Song of the Lamb" which outlines his thoughts on the spiritually rich tradition of Catholic sacred music. This book was written in dialogue with Peter Carter as the two trace the history of sacred music in the Church and outline the guidelines for sacred music today.

We are very grateful that Peter Carter joined Andrew Peteprin to discuss this momentous work and his active role in putting it together.
