Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to Pints with Aquinas. My name is Matt Frad. Glad you could be joining us today. We have people here from England and Italy and Brazil and Indonesia and Mississippi, which is cool. It's lovely to have you here, whether you're watching this live or you'll be watching or listening to this later.

Great to have you here. My name is Matt Frad. This is Pints with Aquinas, and I've got a fantastic show in store for you today. We have a lot to get through.

We are going to be asking the question, will many be saved? This, of course, is a question that was posed to our blessed Lord in Luke chapter 13,

verse 23. So we'll see what our blessed Lord has to say. And then I want to take a look at what

Thomas Aquinas has to say, how he interprets this passage. And I think you'll find that he is

illustrative of the mainstream tradition within the Catholic

Church. We're going to be taking a look at the Sumo Theologia. We're going to be taking a look at

his commentary on St. Matthew's Gospel. And then we're going to be taking a look at the Cantana

oria. So three different sources from Thomas Aquinas today. Let's see. We are going to take a look

at what is meant by universalism, why it ought to

be rejected. I'm also going to respond to the claim that Vatican 2 now basically teaches

universalism or something close to it. And let's see. We're going to look at, man,

we've got a lot going on. We're going to take a look at 10 quotes from the Saints on Hell.

And then we're going to take some questions from our patrons, including a question on what Thomas Aquinas has to say about the possibility of people being saved outside the church.

What he has to say, I think will surprise you. And then just for fun,

as we wrap up today, I want to share with you my top five Catholic podcasts. All right. So

that's what we're going to be doing. I think you're bloody enjoy it. At least that's the hope.

Before we take a look at this question, will many be saved? I want to

let you know we've got a bunch going on. This week, we've got a huge week this week. Okay,

so later on in the week, we have a debate, and this is going to be on the Dutero canonical books

of scripture. Do Protestants have the correct canon of scripture? This is going to be on the Duderau canonical books of scripture. Do Protestants have the correct canon of scripture?

This is going to be later on this week.
