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:
- 07:52 - Do you have to be in the state of grace to receive grace?
- 12:42 - Do you think socialism is bad? What about in Acts when the Christians sold all their belongings and put the profits in the community purse?
- 19:00 - Athanasius refers to Mary as the ark of the new covenant and Augustine prays to Mary for intercession. Is this true?
- 27:13 - What is the status of adult children from annulled marriages? Can they receive the sacraments?
- 29:17 - In Mass at the consecration, “This is my Body which will be given up for you” someone always blurts out “My Lord and My God” which is very distracting. Should I say something to this person?
- 33:05 - What is sanctifying grace and how does it differ from actual grace?
- 35:54 - Why is the New World Translation a bad translation of the bible and can you give me some examples of scholars to say it’s a bad translation?
