Open Forum for Non-Catholics

From those who oppose the Catholic Church to those who are thinking about entering, in this show, we take a break from talking with Catholics while Steve Ray answers questions about the Faith from non-Catholics.

Questions Covered:

  • 07:41 - I think of the Holy Trinity with respect to humans as body, soul, and spirit; three parts but one whole. Is this an acceptable way of thinking of the Trinity?
  • 18:59 - I’m wondering if my Protestant marriage is recognized? Will it need to be recognized if I become Catholic?
  • 22:04 - I recently listened to four Catholic homilies and none preached about the love, grace, or mercy of the cross. I heard on EWTN that the main duty of a priest is to proclaim the gospel, so what’s the deal with these parishes and priests?
  • 30:40 - Did Mary need Jesus’s sacrifice if she was sinless?
  • 45:30 - What are the top three books that you would recommend about the importance of being Catholic over a Protestant?
  • 49:54 - I believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, is my understanding of the Trinity wrong?
