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.

Book Jim to speak at your parish or next event.

Questions Covered:

  • 04:12 - What is the Church’s stance on cremation?
  • 08:18 - The Bible does not have an account of Jesus’ younger years. I was told this was because he went to India. Supposedly, Constantinople took the documents proving this journey out of the Bible since they were worried it would cause people to leave the Church. Is there any truth to this?
  • 23:55 - How sure are we that the saints are in Heaven, given we cannot know what’s really in their hearts?
  • 34:11 - What is your opinion on Dr. Jordan Peterson?
  • 41:03 - What is the Catholic teaching for baptism, last rites, burial in cases of a stillbirth, death moments after birth, and miscarriage?
  • 46:00 - Jesus says the greatest commandment is to love God with all your heart and soul. How can I love God this way if I am unable to see Him?
  • 49:40 - My new neighbors have a “hail Satan” bumper sticker on their car? What should I do? Should I say something?
