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:

01:44 - Why is Satan referred to as a him, since angels don’t have gender? 

05:45 - Why does the Catholic Church believe that saved people who die can ascend into heaven since the gospel of John says only God can ascend into heaven? 

10:50 - How does the Church rectify passing around saint relics when they require that we respectfully inter our loved ones? Isn’t keeping someone’s ashes the same as having a relic? 

16:29 - You said that our Lady of Akita told a nun that, “I am the only one who can save you from this calamity.” How can she say that when Jesus saves us? 

21:01 - What is the practical explanation of the Church on the gift of tongues? Why isn’t this gift used more? 

28:46 - Since JPII, the Catholic charismatic movement has not been encouraged very much. Why is that? 

35:05 - My great-grandmother was buried with a host. Was this the wrong thing for my family to do?

41:18 - In the Old Testament, what are the differences between the priesthoods?

49:12 - How is drunkenness a sin, when Proverbs says to give those in misery and poverty wine to drink?

52:35 - I am doing 33 Days to Morning Glory. He mentions degrees of glory in heaven. Is this true, what does that mean? Can we read more about it?

Resources Mentioned:

1 Corinthians 12-14

Christine Watkins joins me to discuss this message that has been given to numerous people about a time of mercy that has been said to occur in our generation.

The George Floyd arrest controversy has thrown our country into turbulence with burning, looting, and the spread of hate speech. Regardless of the facts of the case, we as Christians are called to be a peaceful presence in these turbulent times. We can learn much from St. Paul’s Letter to the Romans in which he encourages them to cast aside their differences, ask God to fill them with joy and peace, and abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Whether it’s the current situation or another, we need to be a peaceful presence for ourselves and others. Here’s how.

Judy shares in part 2 of the series JUST DO IT the actual HOW TO get to where we want to be. There are so many times we set out in a direction that isn't where we intend to end up.. but we do.

Have you ever encountered a convert to Catholicism who seems to know the Faith inside and out—more so than most Cradle-Catholics? There is a major difference between those new(er) to Catholicism and those who have had the Faith the majority of their lives.

After reading a book for new converts, “I’m Catholic. Now What?” Richaél Lucero realized that difference is a strong sense of wonder and an appetite for answers. Listen to learn the part wonder plays in your knowledge of your Faith, what you can gain from new converts, and how to reignite your spark for wonder in the Faith.
