[@ThePhotist]

The way this man makes his lectures both hilarious and very informative amazes me. Truly an awesome teacher.

[@GregoryBSadler]

Thanks!

[@CC_Timbral]

Thanks for this Gregory. You pull together such interesting information and communicate it really well. By making Thomas into more of a person he becomes more accessible.

[@GregoryBSadler]

That's one nice side-effect of this series, I think

[@AndrewIsbell]

Thanks for uploading this I watched the whole thing and enjoyed it.

[@GregoryBSadler]

You're very welcome!

[@dfiala9890]

According to the video summary, I'm the very first viewer. Neat!

[@snakeoveer1046]

Thank you for all your work Dr Sadler. Even though I don't have any Christian background (I'm an exmuslim) except maybe being a compatriot of St Augustin, the work of St Thomas Aquinas is really growing on me and making me reconsider the possibility (or maybe the necessity) of the existence of the classical theist God.

That's pretty cool, I am Ex Interested in Catholic philosophy as well.

Marvelous lecture, much appreciated.

[@GregoryBSadler]

Thanks!

Thank you for this video!
At around 1:02:48 you said that de Maistre's works were condemned. Any place to look into this more?

[@GregoryBSadler]

I didn't say his works were condemned. You need to listen carefully. I said Traditionalism was condemned

[@SilaliS]

@@EatScrabbleGoo Thank you!

[@SilaliS]

​@@GregoryBSadler Thank you for the correction

[@wisco_simple]

When I come to the genealogies in the Bible I usually read a psalm/proverb chapter, and a gospel chapter in between to keep from falling asleep

[@GregoryBSadler]

I just skip them now

[@wisco_simple]

that's understandable, not like they're gonna change

[@русскийпартизан-ь6п]

Thank you!

[@GregoryBSadler]

You're welcome!

[@vishmonster]

I for one quit at the begats.

[@Zyracksis]

It's not that hard to read the whole bible, three chapters a day and you can knock it over in under two years!

[@GregoryBSadler]

Yep. The hard part is reading the mindnumbingly boring stuff, as I mentioned in the talk
