Catholic Quizzes

Hello All. I know it's been quiet here for awhile (though I'm pleased with how our new discussions are going). I thought you might be interested in taking these quizzes...

You are a 100% traditional Catholic!

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!

Um, yeah. Anyway, these quizzes are a lot tougher (both from Catholic Answers):

"The Pop Quiz from Hell" (I got 4 wrong out of 20 on this one)

"The Quiz from Purgatory" (I haven't done this one yet - UPDATE - I did better on the other one - only got half right here!)

Return to Scholarliness

Now that the holidays are behind us, I should very much like to return to Map of Life. As I recall, we left off at ch. 3. I had a lengthy and thoughtful draft all written out - it only needed a conclusion - but 'twould appear I have lost it. Disappointing in the extreme!!!

Ch. 3 handles the question, 'What is heaven like?'. First and foremost, it is knowledge and love of God, and perforce is perfect happiness. Optime*. Its the most accurate explanation, but we still don't have the entire concept of heaven straight. It makes a world of difference, however, when you consider the quote,

It is better to think of heaven, not only as a reward, but also as the result of a good life.

Life is therefore necessary to prove ourselves worthy of the prerequisites, if you will, of heaven. This brings us to my favorite quote from this Chapter,

Heaven consists in such a relationship with with God that no created nature, by its own powers, could be adequate to it....Those who remained in the love of God were granted the powers and admitted to Heaven.

Any ideas for discussion??? I feel lamentably unoriginal.
