Though you were only able to distinguish between Pontiffs 50% of the time, you did recognize 100% of the time that the quotes came from at least some Pontiff. Your papist card is safe. Now, your Ratzinger and Bergoglio cards are different matters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seven77 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 7 got 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Era Might Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) Why not make it interesting: Who said it: Urban VI or Adrian IV. Edited November 28, 2013 by Era Might Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I fork over my papist card? BTW, you got the same amount as I did. :P Maybe I should have finished reading a couple of those before I voted. If I am allowed an immediate retry without study, I got 12. I did not realize Benedict was so political.

PhuturePriest Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I just started. Answers are super easy so far. Seriously? Any Catholic should know that if there's a quote from a Pope about secularism, there's a 95% chance it's from Pope Benedict XVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 12 out of 14 right. For a while you just answer with one Pope every other question, but it started to rotate with one Pope every two answers at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I find Pope Benedict's writing style to be extremely distinctive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriela Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I find Pope Benedict's writing style to be extremely distinctive. I think so, too. When I was about halfway through I realized that I'd probably get them all right if I ignored content and paid attention exclusively to syntactic complexity and vocabulary.

PhuturePriest Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I find Pope Benedict's writing style to be extremely distinctive. Pope Benedict's writing is easily identifiable by sounding really complicated and impressive in its wording. That's not to say Pope Francis ist stupid, but he writes in a more simple and readable way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Not even that for me. I find it very accessible. But he uses words in a very distinctive way. Lots of personality in his writing. "Fundamentalism is always a falsification of religion. It goes against the essence of religion, which seeks to reconcile and to create God’s peace throughout the world." "The right of religious freedom extends beyond the question of worship and includes the right - especially of minorities - to fair access to the employment market and other spheres of civic life." These two really show what I mean. Classic Benedict. Nobody but he writes like that. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
