19/20. I contend that the mortal sin question revolves around semantics and should be thrown out. :)

Agreed. ;)

That was easy. Try the Franciscan University catechism quiz required to graduate from the program. Now that's the Catholic quiz from hell. I was one of only 7 students in our class to pass it the first time. It is multiple choice and anything from 0 to all 5 or 6 answers can be correct.

And now we all know why you're a Church Scholar.

The reason I got that question is that I always remind myself "anything that can truly be said about Christ's Divine nature can also truly be said about His human nature." Can't recall who said it, but it's a bit of a cheat code that lets me fake my way through a lot of Christological questions.

You have to be careful with this principle, though. It's obviously not on account of His divine nature that he was crucified, which is why I think that phrase was pretty much shunned by the Church.

Thomas also has a great reply on this: "In God, Person and Nature are really the same; and by reason of this identity the Divine Nature is predicated of the Son of God. Nevertheless, its mode of predication is different; and hence certain things are said of the Son of God which are not said of the DivineNature; thus we say that the Son of God is born, yet we do not say that the Divine Nature is born; as was said in I, 39, 5. So, too, in the mystery of Incarnation we say that the Son of God suffered, yet we do not say that the Divine Nature suffered."

That CCC passage I quoted summed it up as well as I needed.

18/20 correct... I missed the one about the Archbishop and the one about mortal sin. I'm with Basilisa, the mortal sin one should be thrown out, or at least fixed--after all, a mortal does cut you off from heaven and there is nothing you can do about it...except go to confession...aw forget it.

This may or may not be the reason I'm not also a Cat major :P

Edit: its really not, I would've done philosophy before catechetics, but that exam made it an easier decision all around. I may just see if they'll let me take it for fun. I like tests.

Ooph, this theology major did poorly.
