I posted four since the last two are a tie. Some of the questions are worded awkwardly if you are a Catholic answering. For example, one asks if it is acceptable to have a woman as a pastor or minister. Of course, a Catholic would say “no” to pastor but might say “yes” to minister.

I answered all the questions “straight down the party line” using the Catechism. I think who ever wrote the poll is confused regarding practices and teaching. I chose “agree”, for example, to the questions “can infants receive Communion”. Of course, Catholics believe they can, but Latin Catholics do not usually give Communion until a little older as a current practice. This is why I think it scored me closer to EOC.

Who knows why ELC scored higher than Catholic. 🤷

As I thought. When I changed my answers on women ministers and infant Communion to what most people think Catholics believe, instead of what the Church actually says, I got 100% Catholic.
 
According to the quiz, Eastern Orthodox.

But I disagree with how some questions are worded. For example, the Sabbath is on Saturday, not Sunday. Sunday is the Lord’s Day. Also, I’ve never heard the real presence described as “physical”. By choosing that word over real, it makes one wonder if the author means that Jesus is physically divided up and one is gnawing on a leg. So one has to guess what the quiz is really asking, and I have no idea if I “guessed” as the author wished.
 
This was my list. I do wonder who comes up with this stuff also.

1 Episcopal/Anglican Church (100%)

2 Evangelical Lutheran Church (100%)

3 Seventh-Day Adventist (97%)

The first two results are spot on. In fact, I’m currently attending an Episcopal/Lutheran church with both TEC and ELCA affiliations, and finding it suits me perfectly.

The third result is anomalous. I think they put it in because I expressed no strong preference for a particular day of worship. But I detest SDA’s legalism, and would never join.
 
Woo-Hoo!

I thought I would have had the Assemblies of God and the Catholic church up higher, but they’re not. :3

I agree. How could I possibly be 100% Roman Catholic, 100% Eastern Orthodox and 100% LCMS all at the same time?

Because the questions left alone important differences between the three, and you are an ecumenically orthodox person? :cool:

Roman Catholic - 100%
Unitarian Universalism - 0% haha.
but… Mormonism - 72% What? Seems a little high…

Mine too. Except mormonism was 68%. I’m confused as to which of my beliefs are in line with theirs.
 
LCMS,
Evangelical Lutheran Church ( assume they mean ELCA, which is wierd because I am so opposed to women’s ordination),
Orthodox,
Catholic.
 
Huh, I got 100% Assemblies of God AND 100% Southern Baptist.

That makes no sense whatsoever. This quiz is clearly flawed.
On the other hand, below SB, was Reformed Baptist and ???Baptist
(can’t remember the name, but it was some form of Baptist faith).
 
Who would have thunk it?🙂

Well, I wasn’t really expecting Eastern Orthodoxy to surpass Catholicism. Maybe it was the infants receiving communion thing 🙂

Big surprise… :rolleyes: (I knew it would say Catholic)
 
I guess this might be instructive in a way, but in a different way than perhaps intended.

It seems almost everybody who scores high for Roman Catholic also scores high for Eastern Orthodox and LCMS. The Eastern Orthodox is no surprise. But I guess I would have imagined that Anglican would be higher than LCMS for most. There are “Anglo Catholic” churches that are extremely close to Catholicism. Of course, I suppose since they listed Episcopalian/Anglican, they must have blended all versions into some kind of “average”.

Sort of reminds me, then, of W.F. Buckley’s comment (made a long time ago and paraphrased here) “Anglicanism is so eclectic that no one, from the Pope to Mao Tse Tung can say with any degree of certitude that he is NOT an Anglican.”

But understanding that this is just a “fun” sort of superficial test, that “top pattern” is nevertheless interesting.
