Open Forum

The callers choose the topics during Open Forum, peppering our guests with questions on every aspect of Catholic life and faith, the moral life, and even philosophical topics that touch on general religious belief.

Questions Covered:

• As Christians do we have a duty to protect our country and borders, or do we have a duty to allow immigrants to come through and not turn anyone away?
• Why do Catholics pray the Rosary or pray to the Saints if it is not mentioned in the Bible?
• Why don’t Catholics have more faith in healing powers?
• I was heavily convicted of my arrogance and pride during Eucharistic adoration and I am quite contrite, but I want to know what to do next?
• How does the Church recognize the disparity between the giving of the gift of Confirmation and the lack of the gift in those that have been confirmed?
• I have started going back to Mass but feel like I am a hypocrite for going to Church and being in my lifestyle. What should I do?
• In the Sacrament of Confession why isn’t there more emphasis on the penitent being forgiving of others?
• I have heard that the Eastern Church’s bible has more books than the Catholic Bible. Is this correct?
