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?  

19:04 - What is a dark night of the soul? 

22:55 – Sedevecantists say that the Catholic Church is in a great apostasy. Is this true? 

41:40 - How do Catholics understand Revelation 20:5-6? 

47:43 - How are things determined to be infallible?

Home. When you say the word what thoughts spring to mind? In Theology of Home: Finding the Eternal in the Everyday co-authors Carrie Gress, Noelle Mering, and Kim Baile reflect upon the role of our homes in our faith journeys. Join Noelle Mering and I as we look upon a world that seems so hectic it barely has time to stop to breath and how refocusing on the home can save the day. Get you copy of Theology of the home here.

New Episode: Join us for a profound reflection on growing a deeper love of God and a stronger focus on faith by letting go of the earthly attachments in our lives. Fathers Ricardo and Phillip help us to understand the Gospel for Sunday, November 17, 2019.

David Bates joins us in studio to continue our conversation about C.S. Lewis and his work, The Screwtape Letters

We recorded this episode the morning we were leaving for the 3rd annual Catholic Man Show campout. We hope you enjoy the episode. Be sure to thank David Bates for coming onto the show!

The first episode recorded in Taylor's home studio, the new Forte Catholic Headquarters!!!

Allison Sullivan cohosts with a skinny margarita as Taylor shares from a recent talk he gave that he's quite proud of. It involves John the Baptist, Confirmation and losing your head.

Resident Rocket Scientist and occasional guest JP Quinn returns with a new segment idea called "Forte, Mezzo or Piano" where he shares potential hot takes and the cohosts argue about them. This led to some of the most insane discussions we've had on the show to date! Have a strong take, let us know on the ol Twitter or Insta.

In the final segment, Taylor calls Fr. Joseph-Anthony Kress OP out of the blue so he and Allison can discuss women's ministry. Not what any of us thought we would be talking about today but it's what happened. Enjoy!

If we look hard enough, we can find "signs" that convince us that the world will be ending soon. In the Gospel from the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, however, Jesus cautions us against trying to pinpoint a date. Instead, He urges us to be vigilant and prepared at all times. Join Gary as he unpacks the readings and offers advice for living them out every day!

In the next part of the series on The Our Father, Sister Geralyn, SCC, discusses that each time we pray “Thy Kingdom come,” in a sense God whispers back, “Wait for it…” Learn more about the complete fulfillment of the Kingdom and the final coming of God which lies ahead of us in this episode of “Musings from a Catholic Evangelist.”
