Open Forum

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:

• 00:42 - I work with a pregnancy resource center. Can we refer our women to other places that have contraception as one of their services? We would not be referring them for contraception. 
• 04:10 - Why do John and the other gospel writers use Greek words when God is referring to himself? 
• 13:21 - How is it that we can have knowledge about the faith before or without an infallible definition from the Church?
