…and I’m a 19 year old RCIA candidate who’s never read the Balitmore Catechism. (Though apparently my RCIA leaders are using it in our instruction, some of that was word for word what I hear in class).

Just to give you all a little hope; good, orthodox, traditionalish RCIA programs do exist!

But I also agree with those who said that test could’ve been a little more challenging. 😛

Hey, since we have such ‘incredable knowledge’ we should put our names in at the next conclave. Who knows? Perhaps one of us will be the next Poot! 😉

Everyone in this forum should get 100% on this quiz. Take it for fun. It’s actually pretty easy. Here’s my results:

You are a 100% traditional Catholic!

Congratulations! You are more knowlegeable than most modern theologians! You have achieved mastery over the most important doctrines of the Catholic Faith! You should share your incredible understanding with others!

Thank you for taking this quiz on the Baltimore Catechism. If you scored high, congratualtions, “go and make disciples of all nations”. If not, go to EWTN, and study some more, then re-take this quiz and see how much you’ve learned!

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.

Good Friday is not technically a feast day, is it? I mean, we don’t have any feasts on Good Friday–or Mass forthat matter. But it is a Holy Day.

I have an old, and I think out-of-print, Concise Catholic Dictionary compiled by Robert C. Broderick. Under the entry Feasts (of the Church) it says: “The days of the Church calendar which are set aside to commemorate a particular mystery of the faith, or days selected for giving glory to particular saints.” So it would appear that Good Friday is a feastday.

I scored a 97%. I am a candidate in RCIA. I have never seen a Baltimore Cathechism but I do a lot of reading and watch EWTN.😃
 
You are a 100% traditional Catholic! :dancing:

Wow! I am so happy… I am not always good at exams.
 
I got 100%. I figure I better post my score or else everyone will think I got some questions wrong. 😉
 
  1. What is grace?
    A church lady who cleans the altars.

:rotfl: (We actually have someone named “Grace” at our church, and I think she does just that!)

I got 87%. I guess that’s not bad for not having any formal RCIA classes yet. (I haven’t even read the Baltimore Cathecism) Everything I’ve learned was through the Internet, EWTN, and CAF.
Congratulations! You are more knowlegeable than most modern theologians! You have achieved mastery over the most important doctrines of the Catholic Faith! You should share your incredible understanding with others!

And I haven’t even gone to an RCIA class yet. That’s kind of scary…
 
In another thread people were asked to name tv shows that should be on the Vatican’s new TV channel.

One person suggested a modification of the new Game show:

Are you smarter than a 5th grader?

with

Are you smarter than a First Communicant

this game show would feature a Confirmed adult answering questions against a First Communicant in the Baltimore Catechism.

I would pay money to watch that show!!!
 
I took the quiz and got 100%. I guess it just proves that I paid attention when I learned the Baltimore Cathecism back in the 1950’s. I go to Mass every Sunday at an ordinary Catholic Church, and I wouldn’t know where to find a Latin Mass if I wanted to look for one. I enjoy the Charismatic Renewal, and feel really blessed by guitar music at Mass. I also enjoy other instruments at Mass like the cello and flute. I don’t mind shaking my neighbor’s hand at Mass, I love receiving Communion under the appearances of both bread and wine, and altar girls are fine with me. My mantilla from the early 1960’s is still sitting in the bottom drawer where I left it back then. So what is my score supposed to prove?

That SSPX aren’t 100% accurate?

You know, the title of the thread should really be “How well do you know your 3 Baltimore Catechisms?” Since there were, afterall, three subsequent catechisms published by the Baltimore Archdiocese under that name. I have a copy of the Baltimore Catechism but I never actually read it… and rely on the “modern” catechism and modern Catholic writers and obviously get along in my knowledge of Catholicism just fine. I wish practicing was as easy as knowing.
 
100%. However, I’m also teaching 2nd grade this year and I’ve had to make sure I really know Church teachings!
