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:

• 05:28 - Catholics say that the teaching of sola scriptura isn’t found in the Bible, but Protestant theologians claim that because Jesus is the Word he doesn’t need to explicitly say that sola scriptura is acceptable. How do I answer this claim?
• 15:08 - Why can’t we be born in heaven first?
• 19:27 - My son has an illegitimate daughter. He wants to baptize her. How hard will it be for him to baptize his daughter? He isn’t baptized.
• 23:15 - I grew up Protestant and now I’m in RCIA. Will you please explain the Church’s teaching on Purgatory? How do we know it exists?
• 41:50 - You just said that infant baptism was illuded to in the Bible through the verse “the whole household was saved.” But if you presume this the Bible says “we access grace through faith.” But an infant doesn’t have faith so how does he receive grace?
• 51:28 - If you’re not Catholic, will you go to hell?
