I got an 18 out of 20. Not bad considering I’m not even Catholic yet! The ones that got me were 8 and 15. I guess I never really thought of it that sisters were lay people. 15 just had me confused, because the correct answer doesn’t sound right.

For those who, like me, place a high premium on knowing what the Church teaches, I offer you this:

The World’s Toughest Catholic Quiz.

I take umbrage with the question on Contraception, because it doesn’t say ARTIFICIAL Contraception. NFP is contraception, simply the God intended way of doing it that remains open to life and is only done when serious reasons for doing so are present.

Contraception defined below:

Main Entry: con·tra·cep·tion : deliberate prevention of conception or impregnation

Mostly, I think it’s bitter grapes because I only scored a 16 out of 20. I hate being a ‘B’ student!

God Bless,

I got 19 out of 20…oooooo I am so smart…lookitmelookitmelookitme…oh wait…humility lacking…arrgghhhhh…
 
16 of 20. But as usual I complain that some of the q’s I got wrong are a matter of interpreting the question and answers. I think I was right on 18 of 20 but it would require elaboration to justify my answers.

Good quiz 👍

Your Incorrect here, there’s a difference between “not trying to get pregnant” and trying not to get pregnant”.
 
Some of those were tough! I didn’t even answer the one about the parish councils. I had no clue! I also got the one about sisters wrong. Who knew! Well, obviously some of you smarty-pants did! 😉

I disagree with question 5. Protestants may take communion in our Churches, but it requires a very special set of circumstances.

What are those circumstances? I thought protestants taking communion in a Catholic Church was just a big ‘no’ :confused:
 
I got 15 right. Two of those I got wrong were worded in such a way that I was torn between two answers on both of them…and one of the answers in each case was the right one. So do I split the difference and get one more right? 😃 :rolleyes: nah…didn’t think so. 🙂
 
Br. Rich SFO:
I also do not believe 18 is correct. Canon Law does not allow all the administrative tasks of a parish to delegated to the parish council. When a parish has a Pastor he has certain administrative responsibilities that cannot be delegated. When there is no Pastor and “parish administrator” is assigned certain administrative duties but not all. I do not believe that if a parish is pastorless that the parish council assumes any pastoral administrative functions.

It doesn’t say “all” administrative duties. The answer is simply, “Advise the pastor and relieve him of administrative duties, but have no authority over him.” It just specifies that they do relieve him of duties, which they do, but doesn’t say that they take the responsibility of every single one, or “all” of them. On the other hand, I do think the word “some” would have clarified.
 
question 20. Apologetics means

b. The art of apologizing for being a Catholic. :rotfl:

Who says the people over at CA don’t have sense of Humor.

I would have to dig into the Canon Law on parish councils. I do not believe that a parish council is anything but an advisory council to the pastor and has no authority for or over anything and therefore cannot “relieve him of any administrative duties”. However I could be wrong. It’s just not an area I have paid much attention to.
 
I got 12 correct, which surprised me because I know this stuff but the wording of the questions was a bit confusing since most of the choices were partially right but not entirely; but of course I still have a lot to learn because I am just now entering the Church. :o

I take umbridge with the confession question. It is a precept that we recieve confession at least once a year. Atleast that is what the eclesia dei TLM book says, I would say it is pretty trustworthy. Here is what the code of canon law says, “Can. 989 After having reached the age of discretion, each member of the faithful is ob-liged to confess faithfully his or her grave sins at least once a year.”

Also the contraception question is a little wrong in my opinion. In a grave situation like if your life is threatened they can be used. Like say, a contraceptive pill was benificial for those who had breast cancer, it would be permissible to use.

I also have major problems with number 15. Christs divinity did not die on the cross.

I got 3, 4, 9, 13, 14, and 15 wrong. I am very disapointed.

The discipline has changed. The “eclesia dei TLM book” would be correct under the old discipline. Everyone was required to receive the Sacrament even if they were not aware of any mortal sins. (Which I still think is a good idea) Under the new Code of Canon Law you are only required to receive the Sacrament if you are aware of comitting a mortal sin.

Artificial Contraception cannot be used for any reason under any circumstances. A medication that has a contraceptive effect can be used when necessary to treat a medical condition when other treatments have failed.
 
I got 14 right. Not enough for the amount of studying I have done over the last five years. I am a cradle Catholic who was not instructed properly, so I have only learned in the last few years. As with others, I should have read the answers better and taken more time. I probably would have done better.
 
I got 16 right. Not too bad after returning to the Church after 10 years. One question I brainfarted, two I guessed on and one I simply just couldn’t answer.
 
I fear failure… and therefore have a difficult time reading past the first question.
 
I got all 20 but I would most likely have missed the contraception question if I hadn’t seen RyanL’s warning in the 1st post.
