I got a 100

there were some where I wanted to answer "both" like: what is your cheif duty as a Catholic? it is to obey the laws of the Church AND to grow in personal holiness, they are one and the same thing. I chose laws of the Church though cause it's the only surefire way to

Anyway, only the first two categories are Catholics in good standing. The rest are either mildly or strongly heretical

Yeah I didn't really like that one either. I went with the holiness answer though... I don't know it seemed more like that is what our aim is, as a result of following the laws of the Church. But it could go either way I think.

You scored 100, on a scale of 0 to 100. Here's how to interpret your score:
0 - 35
You are a Centering Prayer (very progressive) Catholic. More about you.
26 - 50
You are an Ignatian Exercises (moderately progressive) Catholic. More about you.
51 - 75
You are a Divine Office (moderately traditional) Catholic. More about you.
[b]76 - 100
You are a Daily Rosary (very traditional) Catholic. More about you. [/b]

...though I must say that there's definately parts of me that are more "Divine Office" Catholic.

...actually I think the last time I took that I was in that category. Haha

[Fr. Antony Maria OSB]

After answering about 30 of the questions, it just felt like that quiz was meant to make Catholics confused about their Faith, because so many of the answers could have been both, or all. I just stopped taking it, so I don't know what I got, nor do I really think it matters.

This is absolutely riotous. Is it even possible to score higher than the highest score i.e. 100.
0 - 35
You are a Centering Prayer (very progressive) Catholic. More about you.
26 - 50
You are an Ignatian Exercises (moderately progressive) Catholic. More about you.
51 - 75
You are a Divine Office (moderately traditional) Catholic. More about you.
76 - 100
You are a Daily Rosary (very traditional) Catholic. More about you.

Anyway, can't take it too seriously as some have already mentioned some of the choices for the questions were a little ambiguous. Like the duties of a lay Catholic or the the question about how church teaching influences my opinion on public issues. I think the choices made false distinctions between following the rules of the church and seeking holiness as well as between moral and social issues. I got the sense of the usual either or distinctions. You cannot be for moral issues (i.e. abortion) and social issues (i.e. caring for the poor) at the same time. I am very Catholic in that I think it is entirely possible to do both. To be both liturgical and very on fire for your faith. Tos Obey the rules of the church and to strive for personal holiness. To have a visceral aversion to the killing of the unborn and to have a genuine desire to bring Christ's light of peace and hope and love to those afflicted in this world. Always having in front of me the reality that this world is nto the end.

[b]You Are a Daily Rosary (Very Traditional) Catholic [/b] ( I guess this would categorise me- though not accurately, which in reality is only apt for it is only God who can and does trully see us as we truly are)

You'd like the church to revive the time-honored devotions, liturgical practices, and strong institutional discipline that prevailed before the Second Vatican Council—and you're hoping that Pope Benedict XVI will lead the church in exactly that direction. Your favorite hymn is probably a traditional Latin composition such as the "Panis Angelicus," and your favorite pope is probably a pioneer of the Church's great liturgical tradition such as Gregory the Great. You loved "The Passion of the Christ."

This I think for the most part I agree with. I don't know about my favourite Pope although I am a great fan of Pope Benedict XVI writing even as a cardinal. I am currently working through his book "Introduction to Christianity". I love the way he is able to speak almost off-the-cuff annd make comprehensible some very profound ruths of the faith. I also Like Pope JPII's "The Theology of the Body". I would also like to read his encyclicles "Fides et Ratio" and "Veritate Splendor". The observation on the Passion of the Christ needs no further comment.

Hehehehe!! I got 103!!

[SinginForHim]

I got Divine Office...some of those questions were difficult...I actually don't think I deserved to score that high up there cuz I am still quite uneducated about my Catholic faith...I do know the very basics, but I am definitely still learning...

95, and I am disappointed. I need to review the questions and study the subjects that I failed on. I need 100!

Daily Rosary here too! The thing is, I could do so much more, is there a harder test? :
[/quote]


I agree! It said that I am a solid Daily Rosary, too. But really I am not. I am more Divine office. I take the teachings of the church seriously but I am no trad.

[shortnun]

Wow, with a 70, I still have the lowest score.

I'm a Catholic...that's it. However for the purpose of this poll I scored 96

[VeniteAdoremus]

I scored 88. Much higher than I expected.

Seen from the Dutch point of view, I'm very orthodox - but compared to most people here I'm completely liberal

According to this, I am a 'daily rosary' (very traditional) Catholic. Personally I think the second category ('divine office' Catholic) sounds much more like me. What scores do you all get?

Same here. My score was 84 (!), but I just don't feel at all that I exemplify the very traditional. I feel much more at home in the description of the Divine Office Catholic.

[Romans1513]

90...
Personally though I would probably put myself somewhere between Divine Office and Daily Rosary... My Latin Mass friends don't have me completely hooked yet I suppose.

And I agree, some of those questions were worded really funny. It seemed like some were meant to throw me off, and some seemed to make the "liberal" position seem better than the "conservative." Whatever. Its just an online quiz.

I'm a 98 - but after reading the descriptions, I'd have to say that I'm more of a Divine Office Catholic.... they make the Daily Rosary Catholics sound rather ultra-traditionalist.
Plus I love Our Lady of Guadalupe and dislike Mel Gibson...

98/Daily Rosary (very traditional) Catholic, too.



I suppose.

I scored 86 out of 100, so according to the quiz that puts me in the Daily Rosary (Very Traditional) Catholic category. Personally I think I fit the Divine Office (moderately traditional) Catholic category description much better.

I scored 98 and had reactions much like the ones above and others in this thread.

Me too! :


I'm going to take it again answering the questions I struggled with differently and see what happens...

When I took it again, I noticed I only changed one (maybe two) answer(s). I still scored 98. I think I was docked points for the meat thing. And I'm sure I know the others that brought me down.

[cmaD2006]

Ok ... I thought I'd hit the next one down but I guess I'm more traddie than I thought:

You scored 87, on a scale of 0 to 100. Here's how to interpret your score:
0 - 35
You are a Centering Prayer (very progressive) Catholic. More about you.
26 - 50
You are an Ignatian Exercises (moderately progressive) Catholic. More about you.
51 - 75
You are a Divine Office (moderately traditional) Catholic. More about you.
[b]76 - 100
You are a Daily Rosary (very traditional) Catholic. More about you. [/b]

I'm a bit surprized, but then again if I had answered the questions when I first came into the Church I'm positive I'd be a "Centering Prayer" catholic.


But I just read the descriptions, and I definitely don't match "Daily Rosary" description (I hate Latin ...). I'm probably a mix of the moderately-progressive and moderately traditional descriptions, probably closer to moderately-traditional.

Interesting.
