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:

  • 10:56 - What is the pope doing about changing capital punishment? Is this even possible or are we misunderstanding what he is trying to do?
  • 20:11 - How do I provide a defense that confession is the only means for forgiving mortal sin?
  • 28:00 - Does Hebrews 10:17-18 negate the idea of temporal punishment?
  • 35:00 - If one needs efficacious grace to make it to heaven and we can’t credit free will for choosing efficacious grace and God does doesn’t provide it to every man, how can we say he doesn’t predestine souls for hell?
  • 43:47 - I’m on the verge of becoming a Catholic, but all the Catholics I know don’t seem to be very enthusiastic about their faith. Is this something unique to my area or are all Catholics unenthusiastic?
  • 51:20 - Who ordained St. Paul as a bishop?
