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:

• 03:43 - Is there any divinely inspired text outside of the Bible?
• 06:09 - What is the significance of Jesus’ miracles, such as the Wedding at Cana and the Feeding of 5,000, in relation to the Eucharist?
• 19:23 - Can a practicing Catholic officiate a non-Catholic wedding?
• 28:45 - What is Jimmy’s opinion on the Rosary being directly given by Mary?
• 31:42 - How do we justify a uterine removal, when a mother’s life is in danger, as not being an abortion and favoring the mother’s life over the fetus’s? Do we have an obligation to just let God’s plan unfold in a case like this?
• 44:55 - What historical evidence is there for the martyrdom of the Apostles?
• 50:47 - What is a nominal Catholic?
