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:

  • 07:39 - What should someone do if they find out that a priest has broken the seal of confession?
  • 12:13 - I used to hear from my devout Catholic grandmother about “three days of darkness.” What’s that about?
  • 14:25 - In Tim’s book, “Behold Your Mother,” he mentions several names being switched. Why didn’t he mention Saul becoming Paul?
  • 18:33 - What was the real reason for the Crusades? I have an acquaintance who is claiming it was Christian aggression.
  • 30:16 - To what degree is it okay for us to “struggle to assent,” or question, any infallible teachings of the Church?
  • 44:56 - Why don’t local parishes tell the congregation who to vote for?
