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?

- 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?

- 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?

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.
