Open Forum for Non-Catholics

Non-Catholic 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:

• 07:52 - I am Anglican and have a respect for apostolic tradition. How can I contextualize the gospels in regards to this tradition in the midst of evangelical influence?
• 16:20 - In Revelation 20, it mentions a thousand year period. How can this be explained?
• 20:40 - Is baptism performed by immersion? Why has it become sprinkling or pouring?
• 29:44 - Hebrews 10:29- What does it mean when it says “when He was made holy”? Is it in reference to Jesus?
• 34:24 - How is the Catholic communion different than non-denominational communion? Are these churches in communion with the Catholic Church? 
• 42:36 - Jesus says in the Bible that he wants to do away with the strict adherence to law, etc. but it seems like the Catholic Church has embraced laws and rules. Why?
• 51:09 - If you are baptized and die, are you guaranteed to go to heaven?
