Summary

Today, I'm joined around the bar table by my good friend and Catholic Answers' apologist Jimmy Akin to talk about what Aquinas had to say about the Occult. (Cue spooky music).

Wow, Aquinas has a LOT to say about this topic.

Here are just a few of the things you'll learn about during my conversation with Jimmy:

- What Aquinas had to say about Psychic Powers

So, buckle up, turn on all the lights so you don't get scared, and let's talk about the Occult!
