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:

• 06:17 - What is a Eucharistic minister?
• 12:39 - I was told by a gentleman that the Muslims believe in the same God as Catholics. Is this true?
• 18:32 - If someone is having a milestone wedding anniversary, is it necessary and/or appropriate to renew your marriage vows? How should this be done?
• 28:09 - Why pray and ask God for help if we don’t know what His will is for us? Maybe we’ll be praying for something that God does not will for us.
• 33:56 - If someone in life has requested that none should pray for their soul after death, should that request be honored? Could an angry soul retaliate?
• 36:38 - What is the Church’s position on medical marijuana and the legalization of recreational marijuana?
• 45:44 - I know the standard for baptism in the Church is by pouring rather than immersion. Why is this the case?
• 49:31 - Would it be permissible, as a guest in someone’s home, to eat meat on a Lenten Friday? Would this be considered a mortal sin?
