95%-- hey, I'm new... And I didn't read too carefully...

You were a newbie two years ago?!?

And I did better this time--97% as opposed to 95%.

On the indulgence question, I didn't like the wording. "A complete conversion to God" sounds like you need to completely renounce all attachment to sin just to receive a partial indulgence.

For a plenary indulgence, yes. But partial indulgences are for those who don't completely renounce all attachment to sin. And that's what I was thinking when I thought you didn't need a complete conversion.

When I got this I kinda began to wonder...
I got a 94% because I read two of the questions wrong... :disguise:

A few questions that are not exactly correct in the IQ test (not that it would hinder the correct response):

Which selection below is NOT a mortal sin?
A lie is the answer; however, a PREMEIDATED or LARGE lie IS a mortal sin. This is on the examination of conscience on the Vatican website...

Which of the following is NOT true about indulgences?
"The basic requirement for indulgences is a real internal and complete conversion to God. " was considered a wrong answer (meaning that this IS true about indulgences). However, the requirement for any indulgence doesn't have anything to do with a "complete conversion" (which is ambigious as is), rather the only way something can be an indulgence is if the Church makes it such by issuing an indulgence for the act. Therefore, this question was a very bad one.

When distributing Holy Communion, what is the priest implying when he states, "The Body of Christ" and what are you implying when you say, "Amen"?
The answers were not so bad as the question ignores something very important about a Tradition of the Church. The Priest, in the Traditional Mass says "Corpus Domini nostri Iesu Christi custodiat animam tuam in vetam aeternam. Amen." [Excuse any misspelling] (May the Body of Our Lord Jesus Christ preserve your soul to live everlasting. Amen.)The communicant says nothing. This is because the posture (kneeling and receiving on the tongue is posture enough to imply a belief; however, now in the New Mass standing and in the hand is used in the U.S., a posture that implies the exact opposite.)

What sin below is NOT a mortal (deadly) sin?
The answer was swearing, but swearing can be a mortal sin if it is directed toward a holy place, object, person, etc. (which is blasphemy, but is still cursing, nonetheless).

Why did God put you on the earth?
The answer is to know, love, and serve Him (in this world in order to be happy forever with Him in the next to finish off what the Baltimore Catechism instucts); however, the first answer "To imitate Him in all we do" also encompases this.

It was a good quiz overall, though. God bless.

Extremely well put.

Hey, I think that we've all gotten a score in the 90's so far!! Good Job pham!! The first time I took it, I messed up and started clicking away so I started over. I got a 98% but guessed on the indulgence one so, I think I should've gotten it wrong. :blush:
