How To Be An Atheist (According to St. Thomas Aquinas) | Fr. Conor McDonough, O.P.

EpisodeOct 23, 201843m

There is an abundance of literature discussing the validity of St. Thomas Aquinas' arguments for God's existence. Using a different approach, this lecture takes these arguments as a springboard for interrogating the atheist position(s): What are the problems in asserting the world to be uncaused, or in denying the existence of a necessary being?This lecture was delivered by Fr. Conor McDonough, O.P. (Dominican House of Studies, Dublin) to the University College Dublin chapter of the Thomistic Institute on September 18, 2018.

The Thomistic Institute exists to promote Catholic truth in our contemporary world by strengthening the intellectual formation of Christians at universities, in the Church, and in the wider public square. The thought of St. Thomas Aquinas, the Universal Doctor of the Church, is our touchstone. The Thomistic Institute Podcast features the lectures and talks from our conferences, campus chapters events, intellectual retreats, livestream events, and much more. Founded in 2009, the Thomistic Institute is part of the Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, DC.
