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:

  • 05:45 - Where did the feeding of the 5,000 take place? The gospel accounts seem to contradict each other on this point. 
  • 13:23 - What was the manna that God provided to the Israelites in the desert? 
  • 17:31 - I used to work in a urology office as a secretary. Sometimes I would schedule vasectomies for the doctors. Was this sinful? Does it need to be confessed? 
  • 21:04 - How long does Christ stay with us after we have received him in the Eucharist? 
  • 28:23 - My coworker thinks that abortion is the only solution for women in third world countries who have a lot of children. How can I respond to this? 
  • 33:24 - Is it possible to worship the same God as Muslims if we are not united in faith with them? 
  • 41:25 - What is the book of Enoch? 
  • 46:20 - Are there any documents or parts of Scripture that talk about Caiaphas and the rest of the Sanhedrin after the Resurrection? 
  • 49:40 - I am not yet Catholic. I am thinking about becoming Catholic but am Lutheran. What can I do to remove mortal sin from my soul in the meantime?
