Congratulations! You are more knowlegeable than most modern theologians! You have achieved mastery over the most important doctrines of the Catholic Faith! You should share your incredible understanding with others!
By the way - I'm actually a Calvinist.
Different phraseology sometimes, same meaning.
You are a 100% traditional Catholic!

Pretty easy, really. I'll get my 12 year-old daughter to take it when I get home; she did very well on the other quiz posted on R last week.
It really wasn't a hard one. My 5th grade CCE class would have known most of those answers by the end of the year.
Aldous Huxley, not even a Christian wrote a short story?essay? telling of the narrator's encounter with a young boy while walking along the beach one evening. He learned that the boy worked on a fishing boat and was very bright. They talked about all kinds of things and he came to look forward to his encounters with this intelligent mind. One evening they happened to talk about religion and the narrator was amazed that this boy, armed only what he had learned from his catechism, was able to counter so many of his arguments. To be sure, the teaching of the catechism, like so many rote methods, can become merely mechanical. But one must know the words before one can interpret them. The old Catechism compressed thousands of years of theology into a few hundred questions. By comparison too much Catholic instruction of the '70s contained almost nothing of merit.
Rote can be a good start of learning. Then you learn to understand what you have been saying. It gives you a starting place, a common vocabulary, and contains things we can branch out from. It is highly underrated in this era. But it works.
100% traditional Catholic. The nuns knew their stuff.
Fantastic! You have achieved mastery over most of the important doctrines of the Catholic faith! How did you managage to educate yourself so well?
Haw!
Interesting ...
Were you answering the questions according to what you, personaly, actually believe, or according to what you think the Catholic Church teaches?
The latter.
Thank you.
If you ever find a similar (Reformed|Protestant|Evangelical|whatever) quiz, please post it.
Many arguments on this forum are characterized by a lack of understanding of what the other guy actually believes.
That's why I took the test - to see if I understood the Catechism properly. If I should come across a similar test for the Reformed Calvinist POV, I will post it.

Ahem. I believe the category "not a Protestant" should be included.
As expected (more or less), she aced it: "100 percent Traditional Catholic."
