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:

• 14:17 - Is healthcare a right or a privilege?
• 20:17 - I’ve heard that there are not many differences between Christians and Muslims. Is this true?
• 31:50 - I’ve heard it said that the reason they use “brother” is because there is no translation for “cousin.” But we refer to Elizabeth as Mary’s cousin. Why is that?
• 44:40 - In the Apostle’s Creed “he ascended into heaven… he will come again to judge the living and the dead.” Will the dead be judged twice?
• 51:16 - What backs up the teaching of the Accession of Mary?
