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:

• 03:25 - In my last confession, I told my confessor that I have been going to confession almost daily since I am afraid that I am doing something wrong in the eyes of God. He told me that I may have scrupulosity, so I was wondering if Jimmy has any advice for me.
• 07:15 - The catechism says that Jesus has two souls. Can you explain that?
• 16:27 - Does the Catechism have any teachings or comments on whether sex is really bonding if a woman only desires sex during certain times of the month, and just has sex with her husband because she loves him?
• 28:58 - In the Old Testament , 1st Kings, chapter 11, when the northern and the southern kingdom split, why did 8 tribes go north and only 2 go south?
• 34:40 - I received my first Communion 50 years ago, and in 1967 I was told that I could only ever receive once per day. That has changed now, why is that?
• 37:38 - Why does Jesus’ glorified body still have the wounds from the crucifixion, and what ramifications does that have on martyrs, such as those eaten by lions?
• 45:20 - What does the Church teach about the dignity of man compared to man’s natural fear of other men?
