Angels and Demons have been with us since creation and particularly after the fall of Adam. A new book Angelic Virtues and Demonic vices is a study of virtue and vice. The volume is a detailed analysis of Vice and Sin and the remedy for each. Drawing from many sources but mainly the teaching of Saint Tomas Aquinas, Father Basil Cole, a professor of Moral Theology helps break down Saint Tomas's teaching and apply it to our everyday lives.
As one reads through this volume it feels like the brain is being re-oriented to logic and reason, the kind that help us live happy lives by recognizing our faults and becoming humble and by recognizing the faults in others and becoming charitable.
In Angelic Virtues and Demonic Vices, Saint Thomas guides us on how to pursue our true celestial homeland while avoiding running to a false heaven. He outlines the various vices, and their forty plus daughters, and details how to conquer them.
In even simpler terms, it is a book for our times, despite the increase of challenges we face to remain virtuous and "live a clean life" the book lays out logically the how our own choices and behaviour is what makes the difference and this has to happen on a moment to moment basis. The devil does not rest.
Joining me to talk about his book Angelic Virtue and Demonic Vices is father Basil Cole.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
