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:

• 04:37 - What does it mean that Jesus has a soul? I don’t understand how a divine being could have a soul.
• 10:01 - My Catholic friend was going through a hard time, so I started learning about Catholicism to try to help him. The more I learn the more Catholicism makes sense to me. Where should I go to learn more?
• 22:13 - I want to come back to the Catholic faith from Orthodoxy. But I struggle with things like the debates over Pope Francis. Can you help me sort this out?
• 34:01 - Why would God bring Abraham to the point of almost sacrificing Isaac? Why does God seem so different in the Old Testament than in the New Testament?
• 49:30 - Is it true that the Church teaches that those who have heard the gospel message but don’t accept it are condemned to hell?
