Catholic Answers Live - Open Forum Part 1 10-15-19

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:

• 03:28 - What do you think of pre-tribulation rapture theology? 
• 08:47 – What historically happened in the second century in the Church? It seems like the Church Fathers letters become much longer. Was there a reason for this? 
• 17:11 - What are the reasons that Protestantism is false? 
• 22:39 - How did Jesus not know when the end of time would be? He said that only the Father knows.  
• 29:34 - In 1 Peter 3:21, does the word “justify” mean “save”?  
• 34:43 - Why didn’t we stick to the model of the 12 apostles, replacing them as they passed away? 
• 42:32 - How is Jesus knowing something in his divinity but not his humanity possible? Doesn’t this rupture the hypostatic union? 
• 46:33 - Is it okay for Catholics to attend and participate in a Messianic Jewish Passover? 
• 49:10 - When we have our glorified bodies, Catherine of Siena says that we’ll be able to walk through walls. What is the point of that when we will be in heaven with God? 
• 52:50 - I found a beautiful statue of Mary, but she doesn’t wear a mantle. Is it wrong that Mary’s head is uncovered on this statue? Can I still admire it like my other statues?
