Pints With Aquinas · Overcoming Addiction, Allegations and Finding Christ (Russell Brand) | Ep. 578 · 11 May 2026 podcast

Groucho Marx don't want to be a club that would have him as a member.

I don't want to be a member of a club that won't have me as its leader.

And I suppose that's been an obstacle.

But in my friend Carl a long time ago says with Christianity, they make it so traditional that it's inaccessible or they try and modernize it and they make it kind of crap and naff and like...

And that does feel like a problem.

And like, yeah, the comfort of like throwing yourself at the feet, not just of Aquinas, but Chesterton and every Pope there's ever been.

And maybe feeling, yes, that I too am the rock.

But I wonder if being petrified is indeed about being in the state of absolutely accepting him as son of the living God, son of the living God now.

Now, I understand tradition as a bulwark against this kind of false mass manufacture, this sort of swarming, swamping attempt to control attention and consciousness itself, the prima materia, the holy flow.

Yes, I hope.

I hope.

But then there's this other rather more, I don't know, would you say this is an ecclesiastical inquiry?

Right.

How do we deal with this contradiction?

Like, yeah, if it's not in this Bible, then it's not true.

And like, even if I'm testing the veracity of non-Christian scripture or texts, excuse me, I'm like, does it, if it don't contradict this, I'm like, oh, that's pretty cool.

That's actually in alignment with this.

I'm doing that as part of my own learning.

But Catholicism necessarily leans into the catechism and literature that's outside of scripture.

And so I've even had a bit of trouble reconciling that, which would seem like a more practical question to ask, as well as all that other stuff that was much more personal and perhaps a little looser.
