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:

  • 13:39 - What do you know about the illumination of conscience? What does the Church teach about this? 
  • 19:43 - Why does the Catholic Church think that faith and works together don’t mean that you’re earning your salvation? If it includes works, then you believe that you’re earning salvation, which is wrong. 
  • 50:01 - The Church teaches a lot about John 3:16. Is 1 John 3:16 in support of John 3:16?
