Martin, don't peek at the answers!

[Jacki]

I like this Patricia!

Just to get the ball rolling I'll start with the one answer I think I'm sure of and that's No 4.
The Catholic Bible has 73 books and the Protestant one has 66.

Answer for 3.
I didn't know this one until recently when it was mentioned in a sermon on Audio Sancto about a soldier who was killed in battle and died wearing his St Christopher medal, his scapular and his Agnus de which means Lamb of God. So my answer is Agnus Dea.

Still scratching my head on the others, 

[Patricia]

Martin, you're right about 3 and 4!  Congratulations!  And I'm so proud you didn't peek.  I didn't know the answers to these too, till I learnt them while teaching the children Catechism.

Let's wait to see if anyone can come up with the rest of the answers.

[RachelKH]

I cheated -- did them with my kids and they wanted the answers right away.  I only knew the Lectionary and the Paschal Mystery.

[Brigid]

1) pallium
2) personal judgment
3) agnus dei
4) 73
5) Pascal Mystery
6) ?

Didn't cheat.

[Patricia]

Excellent.  The second one is not 'personal' but very close..... You got pallium right, that is great!  I'd never heard of that word.

These are very special and rare!

I wonder who possesses one?

I wonder too! 

[Patricia]

I thought you might.   Look in your boxes.

[Patricia]

If anyone has an interesting fact to share about the Roman Catholic faith this would be a good way to learn it. Shin, I'm sure you have lots of information we could learn from.  There is so much to learn and so little time.

[Shin]

You have me wondering Patricia!

I remember the particular judgement as it has come up for me more than once in conversation recently.

I make note of the 'judgement' part.

Actually, when you posted this you did something I have no talent for, making quizzes like these. I've wanted to, but I've always felt stalled at the gates. Then I saw yours and said, hmm, I wonder if I could recruit her to do more of these! 

Looks like we had similar thoughts! But.. everytime I try I fail to make something suitable! 

I will try again tho! 

[Shin]

I have a feeling Rachel might be good at them too! 

[Patricia]

Yes, I think she has a knack for it.
BTW I like your profile picture of St. Joseph.

[Shin]

Thank you! We've got some good pictures!
