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:

• 13:51 - Do you think that today’s Magisterium knows more about the Faith than the first Magisterium because they are more experienced?
• 21:00 - My friend is non-denominational Protestant. He believes in Faith and Works. I’m trying to get him to see that the Old Testament prophecies were fulfilled by Christ, specifically on the Eucharist.
• 27:46 - Is the Act of Contrition required in confession?
• 30:06 - What’s the difference in praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet and the Rosary? If I’m praying for reconciliation of marriage or intentions of the pope, is one more appropriate than the other?
• 33:47 - When Christ descended into hell, were all the righteous Jews there or were some of them, like Abraham, already in Heaven?
• 41:03 - How do I explain to my daughters that women can’t be priests?
