Open Forum

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:

• 07:07 - Why did Catholics change the day of the Sabbath? Why do Catholics treat the popes like they’re Christ?
• 20:33 - Are we allowed to go to a wedding that is not Christian?
• 35:12 - How can we reconcile our belief in the Eucharist (Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity) with the fact that Jesus said the bread was his Body and the wine was his blood?
• 45:14 - A priest told me that after three times of confessing a mortal sin, there can be no absolution. Is this true? Can you only be forgiven three times?
• 49:21 - What is the difference between holy water and sacred water?
