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:

• 06:44 - What is the Catholic position on the Protestant teaching “by faith alone”? 
• 14:51 - Why did God choose to reveal Himself slowly over so many years, rather than sending a prophet at the beginning who could teach the truth all at once? 
• 22:53 - If Protestants believe that everything can be learned from the Bible alone, then why do they seek out Bible scholars to explain it to them? 
• 31:40 - Can you explain the difference between holiness and righteousness, ontologically? 
• 41:40 - When Jesus celebrated Passover on Holy Thursday, where did they obtain a lamb? Weren’t all the lambs slain on Friday? 
• 49:30 - Why do Catholics believe that Mary is Co-Redemptrix?
