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:

  • 02:51 - If God is perfect, how could he regret creating the human race? 
  • 08:54 - My wife has expressed a desire to convert to Catholicism. We are Protestant. Is it possible for us to have a healthy and rich interfaith relationship? 
  • 16:35 - I am a non-Catholic. If my husband and I become Catholic, do we have to get remarried in the Church? Is an IUD permitted if a woman has bleeding issues?  
  • 21:43 - What is a confirmed Episcopalian? Is it the same as being a confirmed Catholic? 
  • 29:05 - I am entering RCIA. I am having a lot of problems accepting the reality of hell. How can I cope with this?
