Apparently these Amercan Catholic quizzes don’t work for me. I haven’t yet figured out how to get 100% on everything.
To create your own quiz, click here. You scored as Traditional Catholic.You look at the great piety and holiness of the Church before the Second Vatican Council and the decay of belief and practice since then, and see that much of the decline is due to failed reforms based on the “Spirit of the Council”. You regret the loss of vast numbers of Religious and Ordained clergy and the widely diverging celebrations of the Mass of Pope Paul VI, which often don’t even seem to be Catholic anymore. You are helping to rebuild this past culture in one of the many new Traditional Latin Mass communities or attend Eastern Catholic Divine Liturgy. You seek refuge from the world of pornography, recreational drugs, violence, and materialism. You are an articulate, confident, committed, and intelligent Catholic. But do you support legitimate reform of the Church, and are you willing to submit to the directives of the Second Vatican Council? Will you cooperate responsibly with others who are not part of the Traditional community? saint-louis.blogspot.com - Rome of the West

The survey needs to split out Divine Liturgy and Tridentine Mass. They would be at the opposite ends (Tridentine being disagree) for me. I had to put disagree since it had Tridentine in it.

Interesting I am over 70 been a Catholic from birth. Very active since 1965 after leaving grad school. Had 16 years of education in Catholic Institutions before Vatican II and I am a what? Argh
You scored as New Catholic.
The years following the Second Vatican Council was a time of collapse of the Catholic faith and its traditions. But you are a young person who has rediscovered this lost faith, probably due to the evangelization of Pope John Paul II. You are enthusiastic, refreshing, and somewhat traditional, and you may be considering a vocation to the priesthood or religious life. You reject relativism and the decline in society that you see among your peers. You are seen as being good for the Church. A possible problem is that you may have a too narrow a view of orthodoxy, and anyway, you are still a youth and not yet mature in your faith. saint-louis.blogspot.com - Rome of the West
That is computers for ya!

As a cradle Catholic, I think I scored as “New” just a smidgeon over “Traditional” because I share Pope Benedict’s view that “The Church is Young!!!” and the learning process never stops when it comes to discovering cool things that the Church used to do. 
And hey, it feels really nice to be called “young!”

hi guys,
very interesting quiz but even more intg was the comment of one of you calling yourself a Roman Catholic. Well until recently I too had made the same error of defining my religion as Roman Catholicism - I found out by chance that there is no such thing!
The Catholic Church has never ever called itself by this name either in documents or anything else. The origins of the name are from the Protestant Reformation or later when the church of England (Anglican) created a false theory that said there were 3 branches of christianity Orthodox, Anglican and Roman Catholic.
The Catholic Church has always callled herslef the Church or the Catholic Church not the Roman Catholic Church the Church has sometimes been called the Church of Rome by detractors and the Latin Rite or Roman Rite Church to distinguish from the Eastern (but still equally Catholic) Churches in the Middle East and Asia.
Please be careful of how you identify yourselves we are Catholic not Roman Catholics!!!

“You scored as a Radical Catholic
You are “Radical” in its Catholic sense – from the Latin word radix, or root. You are not just a “church person” but you are a disciple of Christ, making a total commitment to the Gospel, to voluntary poverty, and self-sacrifice for others. You give without counting the cost. You need to be sure that you remain obedient to the Church and your superiors, and do not consider yourself a prophet or become elitist. Try to make good examinations of conscience and to be humble. saint-louis.blogspot.com - Rome of the West”
Well, maybe I could be considered radical if Orthodox Christianity was a new fangled idea after 2000 years.

Hmmm, you could be right about this.
Et unam, sanctam, catholicam et apostolicam ecclesiam.
And in One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. (Nicene Creed).
The Anglicans, and quite possibly the Episcopalians, believe they are another branch of “the holy catholic church”.

I am right see this article:
this site is helpful as to when we started using the name Catholic
ewtn.com/faith/teachings/churb3.htm
also:
newadvent.org/cathen/13121a.htm
especially:
With the strong Catholic revival in the middle of the nineteenth century and the support derived from the uncompromising zeal of many earnest converts, such for example as Faber and Manning, an inflexible adherence to the name Catholic without qualification once more became the order of the day. The government, however, would not modify the official designation or suffer it to be set aside in addresses presented to the Sovereign on public occasions. In two particular instances during the archiepiscopate of Cardinal Vaughan this point was raised and became the subject of correspondence between the cardinal and the Home Secretary. In 1897 at the Diamond Jubilee of the accession of Queen Victoria, and again in 1901 when Edward VII succeeded to the throne, the Catholic episcopate desired to present addresses, *but on each occasion it was intimated to the cardinal that the only permissible style would be “the Roman Catholic Archbishop and Bishops in England”. *Even the form “the Cardinal Archbishop and Bishops of the Catholic and Roman Church in England” was not approved. On the first occasion no address was presented, but in 1901 the requirements of the Home Secretary as to the use of the name “Roman Catholics” were complied with, though the cardinal reserved to himself the right of explaining subsequently on some public occasion the sense in which he used the words (see Snead-Cox, “Life of Cardinal Vaughan”, II, 231-41). Accordingly, at the Newcastle Conference of the Catholic Truth Society (Aug., 1901) the cardinal explained clearly to his audience that “the term Roman Catholic has **two **meanings; a meaning that we repudiate and a meaning that we accept.” The repudiated sense was that dear to many Protestants, according to which the term Catholic was a genus which resolved itself into the species Roman Catholic, Anglo-Catholic, Greek Catholic, etc. But, as the cardinal insisted, “with us the prefix Roman is not restrictive to a species, or a section, but simply declaratory of Catholic.” The prefix in this sense draws attention to the unity of the Church, and “insists that the central point of Catholicity is Roman, the Roman See of St. Peter.”
and:
It is noteworthy that the representative Anglican divine, Bishop Andrewes, in his “Tortura Torti” (1609) ridicules the phrase Ecclesia Catholica Romana as a contradiction in terms. “What,” he asks, “is the object of adding ‘Roman’? The only purpose that such an adjunct can serve is to distinguish your Catholic Church from another Catholic Church which is not Roman” (p. 368). It is this very common line of argument which imposes upon Catholics the necessity of making no compromise in the matter of their own name. The loyal adherents of the Holy See did not begin in the sixteenth century to call themselves “Catholics” for **controversial **purposes. It is the traditional name handed down to us continuously from the time of St. Augustine. We use this name ourselves and ask those outside the Church to use it, without reference to its signification simply because it is our customary name, just as we talk of the Russian Church as “the Orthodox Church”, not because we recognize its orthodoxy but because its members so style themselves, or again just as we speak of “the Reformation” because it is the term established by custom, though we are far from owning that it was a reformation in either faith or morals. The dog-in-the manger policy of so many Anglicans who cannot take the name of Catholics for themselves, because popular usage has never sanctioned it as such, but who on the other hand will not concede it to the members of the Church of Rome, was conspicuously brought out in the course of a correspondence on this subject in the London “Saturday Review” (Dec., 1908 to March, 1909) arising out of a review of some of the earlier volumes of THE CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA.
