Are there any?
Who here in CAF would win the grand prize?

Also imagine how much more fun it would be for students if they could have a inter school quiz competition.

I was tuning in to the Catholic Channel on Sirius XM around the time of the Papal visit. They had the hands-down best coverage that I came across. 🙂 So because I liked it so much, I continued tuning in for a while, even though I liked EWTN over-the-air broadcasts better than some of their usual programming.

Once, I bumped into a quiz show on one of their programs. Since most of their stuff had been very Catholic-lite, I was expecting the questions to be things you could know with a basic familiarity with the faith. But instead, it was more along the lines of, “Like Gregory Nazianzus, Sergius could not conceive of-- what?” 🙂 or something equally obscure that you might find in a patristics class. I think I stuck around for two questions-- and listened to the callers actually get the answers right without Google (??!)-- before I moved on.

Still not quite sure if it was a fake quiz show, or if it was seminarian-phone-in night! 😛
 
We could probably think up some sort of game to mimic a catholic quiz show on here. Obviously it would have to be on the honor system for people not to cheat, however.
 
I’m not sure who would be best. Not me. But there are some very widely knowledgable people on here.

If I had a photographic memory I would probably prep by reading Hitchcock’s “History of the Catholic Church” and the CCC all the way through. That would be a good start.
