Luigi Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Have we played this game before? Even if we have, we should do it again in honor of the 800th jubilee of the founding of the order. http://www.churchpop.com/2015/11/08/quiz-which-dominican-saint-are-you-most-like/ Me - I'm Thomas Aquinas, except for the fact that I fall asleep when I read philosophy. And the fact that I can't think in abstractions. But the quiz didn't ask about that. Take it for what it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archaeology cat Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 St Martin de Porres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgnatiusofLoyola Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 St. Dominic I'm not sure about this--I'll have to read up on it. I don't know enough about St. Dominic to be able to detail what the differences are, but I know I'm not drawn to asceticism or penitential practices (at least not to the degree St. Dominic was). But, the fact that the first thing I need/want to do is study up on it is a telling sign. Not to mention the fact that one value I have had since I was a child is the search for truth and understanding. I love the motto "Veritas."

IgnatiusofLoyola Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Im not sure I want to take the quiz! Then don't take it. They don't ask you whether you'd prefer a brown habit (obviously, since these are Dominican saints), so your results won't be accurate anyway! (Not that these quizzes are to be taken too seriously--but they can be fun and interesting.) I got St. Ides. Like Shakespeare's "Beware the Ides of March?" I know it's not the same thing, but I've never heard of St. Ides, not that I've ever pretended to be an expert on Dominican saints--or any saints. At least we know I know how to research things, so I'll look it up later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vee Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 But, the fact that the first thing I need/want to do is study up on it is a telling sign. Not to mention the fact that one value I have had since I was a child is the search for truth and understanding. I love the motto "Veritas." me too! And the amazing thing is that truth isnt a something its a someone, Jesus who is Truth itself! I work with a lot of very anti Christian people so to even talk to them about religion I say things like I seek the Truth and it seems an acceptable answer which makes them think and doesnt get their backs up.

Maximilianus Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) How many Dominican saints you recognize? Gracias! I needed that, I was wondering who some of those were last night. From the St. Joseph Province site per the artist "Drawing much influence from masters such as Jan van Eyck and Fra Angelico, the composition is somewhat decorative and ambiguously lit, denoting the supernatural setting. The blue of the sky is symbolic of Mary’s veil enveloping her beloved Dominicans; this is also the reason her head is uncovered. It is meant as a reference to St. Dominic’s heavenly vision of the Order sheltered beneath the Blessed Mother’s mantle."

Basilisa Marie Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Heck yes St. Dominic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriela Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 St. Thomas, which is hardly surprising, but really, this quiz is about as far from validity as you can possibly get. What do seasons and months and elements have to do with anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
