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:

• 02:41 - How do we reconcile outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation and the idea that non-Catholics can be saved?
• 06:21 - What are ways to combat scrupulosity?
• 22:07 - Why do people use B.C.E. over B.C. these days, even Catholics?
• 29:49 - We pray to the Church triumphant, but if they’re not omnipresent, how do they hear our prayers?
• 32:41 - Has the Catholic Church wandered into the territory of the pharisee with its micro analysis of sin and statutes?
• 43:30 - What constitutes the sin of gluttony?
• 50:35 - Is not attending Mass a mortal or venial sin?
