In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Robert Delfino, author of Does God Exist: A Socratic Dialogue about the Five Ways of Thomas Aquinas.We dig deep into who St. Thomas Aquinas was, his importance to the Catholic Church, Christianity, and philosophy in general. We discuss the apparent rift between science and religion – what would Aquinas say? And we dive deeply into Aquinas's Fifth Way of proving God's existence.One of the resources mentioned in the show was Galileo Goes to Jail and Other Myths about Science and Religion edited by Ronald L.
