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:

06:11 – How do we reconcile ourselves with slavery in the Old Testament? 
14:08 – Must we receive the Eucharist in both species?
