That “quiz” seems to be so protestant in its whole conception-A way to “pick your own church” per your own personal selection of doctrines apriori and even the questions are written from a wholly protestant, denominational mind-set. It really makes little sense to a Catholic. I tried to do it and couldn’t go past question 5.

The whole concept seems so twisted. It assumes that we would have decided truths for ourselves ad then pick the church that taught these truths. If I weren’t Catholic, I might not have any of these doctrines to begin with. 🤷

You couldn’t get past the question of whether or not Jesus physically rose from the dead? :confused:

I got 100% EO, and LCMS. 93% Evangelical Lutheran Church, followed by 90% Catholic.

I think that since you get all 100% if you put in all no preference, the test calculates your score based on where you disagree, and how strongly you feel that way, rather than looking at where you agree.
 
Roman Catholic Church (100%). Eastern Orthodox Church (87%). Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (87%)

I did answer no.5 and then no more. When I scrolled down from 6, the questions just seemed to me to be very protestant in conception and the whole thing seemed silly. If we determined doctrines first and then picked our church based on that, we would be Protestant. I’m not protestant.

If I weren’t Catholic, I might reject all these beliefs I now take for granted and answer that quiz entirely differently. So I don’t know how you can get a result that’s different from what your current Church actually is- So what’s the point? See, I already know I’m Catholic! 🤷 Don’t need a test for that.
 
Seventh-Day Adventist (100%)

Evangelical Lutheran Church (89%)

Methodist/Wesleyan Church (89%)

Weird…

I totally get what you’re saying and I agree. Internet quizzes aren’t scientifically quantified and are really just meant for fun. I enjoyed this one and the contributions that ensued. 🙂

I took the quiz again and changed one answer that I suspected made the Eastern Orthodox Church 100%. The question was 17. Infants can receive communion . Of course this is true, It is not a practice of the RC but that does not make it a false answer. I was right. When I changed it to no preferance it became EOC 97% Changing it to disagree made it 85%.

Ok, I see your point.

To a degree I agree with you, but I think the test still can show how knowledgeable people are of what their Church teaches. 🙂

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

I’ve been wondering why I scored higher as an EO than a RC. That makes sense. When asked the question, I knew there’s nothing to forbid an infant from receiving; indeed Eastern Catholic infants are frequently receiving.

But, hey? what can you expect from an internet quiz?
 
Roman Catholic - 100%
Eastern Orthodox - 99%
Lutheran - 97%

But then at #6:
Episcopal/Anglican - 74%

Hey, I grew up as an Anglican. As time went by my beliefs became more and more ‘high church’, so I expected the third selection would be Anglican.🤷

I almost gave up early in the quiz as I didn’t feel comfortable with the wording of the questions. One seemed to be aimed towards sola scriptura for instance. Or that’s how it struck me at the time.
 
Top 4

Episcopal/Anglican Church (100%)

Methodist/Wesleyan Church (83%)

Evangelical Lutheran Church (80%)

Church of Christ (72%)

Not too surprised unless by Church of Christ it means the more conservative one.

Well yes but there were also ones about tradition and another about infallibilty of an individual. I think that’s why you had the option to place your degree of emphasis on each question.
 
I answered the questions with the thought in mind of, If I weren’t Catholic, how would I personally respond and answer them.

My top 3 results:

Unitarian Universalism (100%)

Unity Church (100%)

Roman Catholic Church (89%)

Interesting. 🙂

So based on your personal answers if you weren’t Catholic and your results, you’re pretty ecumenical?

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. 🤷

I answered yes to the minister question! But I suspect the person who wrote the test did not consider that the RCC has female ministers. I also suspect the person who wrote this did not know that the RCC in some countries has communion and confirmation with baptism, so it is acceptable.

Because of this and one or two more things, I got ranked orthodox, then Evangelical lutheran, etc, RC was 4th I think.

Mine exactly 😃

But some of the wording of some of the questions seems a bit … off. If you get confused and get different results I wouldn’t read too much into it.

That’s very interesting that you should say that, because I decided to do it anyway after your post to me last night and know what my answer was? No, not Catholic as I had presumed, it was actually:
Eastern Orthodox-100%
Roman Catholic-94%
United Pentecostal Church- 76%

Everything else was 67% and then way below that.

Now I have no idea how this happened! I’m not even surprised so much at the 100% E.O results as I am at the 94% R.C one- Hope it doesn’t mean that I don’t know my faith! 😊.
 
Roman Catholic Church (100%)
Eastern Orthodox Church (90%)
Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (87%)

Woo-hoo! I found those results to be quite a relief! 😃
