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:

• 05:47 – Theodoret said that Rome had primacy over the other churches because it didn’t teach any heresy. Is this true? 
• 08:32 - Do Catholics only receive the bread, not the wine? 
• 14:30 - In 1 Clement 32:4 it says that, “All are glorified…through His Will…by faith, not works.” How does that fit with the Catholic view of faith and works? 
• 21:51 - If Jesus is God, why does he pray to God the Father? Why would he pray to himself? 
• 24:46 - In John 12:31, Satan is referred to as the ruler of the world. Does this title still apply after Christ’s resurrection?
