What is the role of work in a person's life?  What does it mean that all work was meant to be pleasurable and now it is redemptive?

Scott Weeman, founder of Catholic in Recovery, joins us to help callers navigate

Questions Covered:

 

17:00 - I am dealing with addiction with my son. He has attempted to be sober numerous times, but his selfishness has torn our family apart. We are heading toward the holidays. What can we do? 

24:35 - What do you advise about my alcoholic husband? What can I do to help him? It seems like nothing has helped. 

35:33 - My son has been addicted to drugs. He always tells me he needs money and wants me to pay for everything and tells me he wants to get better. I haven’t seen him in two years, but he badgers me constantly. What should I do? 

44:25 - How do I maintain chastity with my girlfriend when we are both drawn continuously back into sexual sin? We are both addicted to unchastity. 

50:26 - What is your opinion on prevention for alcohol addiction? It seems like most Catholic events revolve around alcohol.

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:

 

02:07 - Are the angels descendants of Adam and Eve? 

04:08 - Why do we celebrate the birth of Christ in December when it’s not really his birthday? 

12:18 - To be saved, I thought we must believe in Christ and by grace. Earlier I heard someone say that we are also saved by works. I am confused. Why would I need to do works to be saved if Jesus died for me and I believe in him? 

21:39 - Why did God put Mary through so much? Why did he make her experience losing her son when she did so much for God? 

29:22 - What is the best Catholic Bible? Do you know anything about the “New Catholic Bible”? 

34:40 - Why do you believe the apostasy didn’t happen? 

42:20 - How do you know if someone is being influenced by Satan versus being possessed by him? 

47:40 - Do we see our pets in heaven? 

50:05 - Is a baby born into original sin when he is born to married parents? 

51:50 - What is Church teaching on fallen angels? Will a rebellion of fallen angels ever happen again?

The more we try to prove our faith by how we live our faith, the purer our faith becomes.
