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:

• My wife divorced me, how do I get an annulment?
• Why do we never hear about the Apostles children?
• What’s the Catholic teaching on predestination? 
• What is the Douay-Rheims Bible and is it a valid translation?
• When I explain the Immaculate Conception to my Protestant family, I get to the point where I say “It is fitting that Mary was Immaculate Conception” and my family says, “Well, it might be fitting, but that doesn’t mean it is so.” How can I explain this better?
