Could a nominalist deny the existence of God? This might seem like a high-level question for philosophers and theologians. But, more people today than you think are nominalists, whether explicitly or implicitly. So, what exactly is a nominalist? And why might they have a problem with certain arguments for the existence of God? In this episode of Aquinas 101: The Five Ways, join Fr. Ambrose Little, O.P., a Catholic priest and Dominican friar from the Province of St. Joseph, as he explains how to refute nominalist objections to "the existence argument" for God.

Can Nominalism Deny the Existence of God?
With Fr Ambrose Little, OP, PhL, PhD, Assistant Director, Thomistic Institute.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
