The World's Toughest Catholic Quiz

[quote]Question 13
a. Wrong, because a priest cannot give permission to anyone to engage in any sinful act.
b. Correct, as explained in Pope Paul VI's 1968 encyclical Humanae Vitae. It is immaterial that most Catholics don't practice what the Church always has preached. [b]Truth is not determined by majority vote.[/b]
c. Wrong, because this is a cop-out. Contraception is always immoral and does not become moral just because some couples agree not to use it "selfishly." Do bank heists become moral if the thieves agree to distribute the proceeds not to themselves but to the poor?
d. Wrong, because a good motive cannot make an evil act good. If there is a problem with the wife's health or the family's pocketbook, the couple should consider natural family planning (which is not the same as the rhythm method); it can be used morally because it does not subvert the requisite openness to new life.
e. Wrong, because 13b is correct.

I didn't do as well as I thought. toomuch time at Pagan University I guess. It'll give me something to work on. I like the point made with choice B, "Truth is not determined by a majority vote."

The first thing we need to to come up with the questions and answers. I think it should flow historically with the great heresies and ecumenical councils. What do you think?

Peace.

Once we have most of the questions and answers I can create the interface and grading algorithm pretty quickly.

Another question that was misleading was the one about the Real Presence... and the correct answer is that the bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ and the bread and wine are no more. And I almost chose NOTA because we were taught that the bread and wine become entirety of Christ-- the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Chirst.. So, I almost got that one wrong... but I didn't.
