95% for me…where did it all go wrong???

Oh yeah, I know…I’ve never attended a TLM…the closest “indult” is 45 minutes away, and a SSPX mass is 15 minutes away…
 
My 8 year old got a 92%

( In all fairness, we homeschool and his religious ed book IS the Baltimore catechism)
 
Your results for this quiz have been calculated and are presented below:
You are a 82% traditional Catholic!

Fantastic! You have achieved mastery over most of the important doctrines of the Catholic faith! How did you managage to educate yourself so well?:eek:
Because I was the class clown.

Truthfully, I studied the VATII Documents instead, and skipped the Baltimore? catechism.

100%. But the confirmation one was a tossup for me.

You don’t hear much about “soldier’s of Christ” anymore. 😉
 
98% here. But I’ve never even seen a Baltimore Catechism and grew up in the 1970’s. I went to a Latin mass once. I liked it but I also like the NO (with good music not the Haugen/Haas drivel).
 
Hi,

I got 99% traditional Catholic but I’m not sure what I got wrong…

I believe it was the one concerning Confirmation… Does anyone know the answer? I said Soldier of God.

Thank you and God Bless.

That would be right as of the Baltimore Catechism but as I recall the teachings have changed some to encompass more than that.

Like many here I got 100% too and never studied from the Baltimore Catechism (I was probably the first generation to be taught without it - most of my Catechisis occurred right after Vat. 2).

“It will make me a soldier of Christ” is the correct answer. You must have tripped up somewhere else.
 
100%
But in all honesty, if I we had not been teaching our children the Baltimore Catechism,…it probably would have been more like…70% or lower. No joke.
Cool quiz
 
“It will make me a soldier of Christ” is the correct answer. You must have tripped up somewhere else.
Hmmm… What is the two biggest Holy Days? I said Good Friday and Easter… I knew both were part of Triduum so I chose them but I also thought Christmas and Easter sounded right. I couldn’t remember.

Anyone have the answer?

Thank you and God Bless.
 
I scored 100%, but almost screwed up on the part where they asked for the chief spiritual works of mercy–I marked the answer for corporal works. Luckily later on, the same question for the spiritual works caused me to go back and change my answer.

I gotta start reading more carefully on these internet quizzes–or I will never graduate.
 
Problem is, this thread might not be a very good representation of the scores of members of this forum because…uh…who’s going to want to post his score if it’s less than perfect? 😃
Well, having said this, I also ought to say that the humility of those who posted their less-than-perfect scores is quite edifying. 🙂
Hah! I always knew I was a 100% traditional Catholic. You’ll have to share the title now.😉
That’s right; I got 100% too. That settles the debate about being traditional without being attached to the TLM, paramedicgirl. 😃

I sat there puzzled over that question too. I knew the Baltimore Catechism said “soldier of Christ,” so of course that’s what the quiz would count as correct. But what settled it in my mind was that Confirmation doesn’t really make one an adult in the Faith so much as it completes the sacraments of initiation.

That’s another question that had me pausing (sometimes it’s not good to know too much). Liturgically, Good Friday is ranked above Christmas. However, that’s because it’s part of the Easter Triduum; in other words, Holy Thursday and Holy Saturday are ranked with it. Since the question asked about only two feasts, it’s apparent they couldn’t be talking about the Easter Triduum since that would mean more than two. So basically the two feasts they were talking about were two joyful feasts: Christmas and Easter. Also, another way you could look at is Easter meaning Easter Triduum; that would include Good Friday.

98%. I have no problem 'fessing up to my less-than-perfect knowledge. Back to the Catechism!
 
I was actually surprised I got a perfect score. I am a post-Vatican II Catholic who never read the Baltimore Catechism, and I attend a Novus Ordo parish. I do own and study the current Catechism.
Congratulations! Same here! How about 3 cheers for the CCC!👍
 
99%!!

Woo-hoo! Pretty good considering I never read the Baltimore Catechism. :bounce:

I figured that although Good Friday is a very holy day, it isn’t really a feast day. That left “Christmas and Easter”.

I still have my old pre-Vatican II Baltimore Catechism, by the way. It’s the one with the dark blue cover and the tissue-thin pages. It’s not the very first one for little kids just starting out, but the one after that. Sister Mary Peter Joseph used to put either stamps or stickers of angels, saints, or the Holy Family in our books when we got the questions right. 🙂
 
I got 100% and I haven’t even started RCIA yet… just obsessed is all 😃
