I missed two. The one about what an Archbishiop does and and the one that said that God dies on the cross. I have always heard, and thought that Aquinas taught, that Christ's human nature died on the cross, but not his divine nature. If God died then doesn't that imply that there was a period during which God did not exist? Otherwise what do they mean by 'death'? I felt the first one was worded in a tricky way. I felt that the wording could be taken to imply that the accidents of the bread and wine disappeared as well.

It's nice to know that you have to register in order to see the results *before* you take the quiz. Just saying.

I didn't bother. Just kept track as I went.

HSmom, If you close out of the "register to find your score" box, it takes you right to results!

I think I missed 3 or 4. That just means there is more for me to learn!

I missed 4, but I was keeping track. I wanted to see the results (ie reasons I got the ones wrong that I did)... Oh well. It was a good quiz though.

One of the two that tripped me was the mortal sin question. I had always figured that "serious sin" referred to gravity but not necessarily culpability, while mortal sin did also indicate that a person was fully culpable.

I'm not so sure about that. Can't the phrase "God dying" be considered to mean that [url="http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/para/627.htm"]Christ's human nature died[/url] on the cross in the same way as Mary is called the Theotokos?

Also, don't you think that it would be more accurate to say that the [url="http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/para/1007.htm"]Christian[/url] [url="http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/para/1021.htm"]understanding[/url] of [url="http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/para/1011.htm"]death[/url] is something more like "entering into Eternity" than "ceasing to exist?"

This may be why Lewis had Aslan say, "He has died. Most people have, you know. Even I have. There are very few who haven't."

The reason I got that question is that I always remind myself "anything that can truly be said about Christ's Divine nature can also truly be said about His human nature." Can't recall who said it, but it's a bit of a cheat code that lets me fake my way through a lot of Christological questions.

CCC 468: After the Council of Chalcedon, some made of Christ's human nature a kind of personal subject. Against them, the fifth ecumenical council, at Constantinople in 553, confessed that "there is but one [i]hypostasis [/i][or person], which is our Lord Jesus Christ, one of the Trinity."Thus everything in Christ's human nature is to be attributed to his divine person as its proper subject, not only his miracles but also his sufferings and even his death: "He who was crucified in the flesh, our Lord Jesus Christ, is true God, Lord of glory, and [i]one of the Holy Trinity"[/i]

I got 3 wrong - the "God died on the cross" question (the way it was worded among the choices, it sounded somewhat monophysite to me), and the first two on the Eucharist (I got caught up in the wording and kept thinking of how the "accidents" remain).

19/20. I contend that the mortal sin question revolves around semantics and should be thrown out. :)
