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:

• 22:25 - How do you explain the importance of the sacrament of Confirmation to kids who don’t like or understand coming to CCD?
