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:

• 07:51 - My parents were civilly divorced after being married for 35 years. My dad recently “remarried.” My mom is living with her boyfriend. I don’t agree with my parents behavior at all, what do I do?
• 17:05 - Would Catholics support the rebuilding of the Temple on the Temple Mount?
• 31:14 - Once you confess your sins to a priest are you required to admit to those sins if questioned about them? 
• 38:03 - Much of Genesis is supposed to be taken as poetry, so how much of the whole Old Testament is historical as opposed to poetic?
