Catholic Answers Live - Open Forum

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:

• 01:09 - Are 2 Timothy 1 and 4 good support for praying for the dead? 
• 13:21 - What can I do practically to serve the Church? 
• 18:27 - When Peter declares Jesus to be the Christ, and Christ responds calling Peter the “rock,” was he referring to Peter as the foundation of the Church or just the Church in general?
