Listen Up!

"The guy gal the Pope should listen to"

God has given you the rare gift of bilocation.
With it, you can attend both the First Friday
devotions in honor of Our Lady of Fatima and
the parish bake sale committee meetings. We respect
you, mostly because we fear the incredible power
you wield in our parish.

Are You A Cultural Catholic?
brought to you by Quizilla

So, does anyone know how I let Pope Benedict know that he should be listening to me? In the interests of journalistic honesty and all that, I should note that I got this result on my second try. Seems I have yet to shake off my shady past as a WASP convert because the quiz outed me as one on my first try.

(Nod to Dyspeptic Mutterings for the link. Kudos to The Donegal Express for creating this "Put down the coffee mug, first!"-quiz.)

  1. Fun, but I found alot of the questions didn’t really have any answer that I wanted to check. A number of the answers were a toss-up for me.
    I was categorized as a “Cultural Catholic”, which was funny, because I actually DO belong to the Knights of Columbus! I don’t consider myself a cultural Catholic, though.
    Michelle, after your beatification, what do you see yourself being the patron saint of? And what would be your first pick as a feast day?
    😉

  2. This was pretty funny. I too am a “Cultural Catholic” according to the results. I had fun just laughing at the choices for each question ;).

  3. Sigh…I’m a WASP convert.
    I was never a WASP in the first place.
    If you select the first option on every question, you’re a ‘bitter middle-aged white woman’

  4. Dang! I’ve done this quiz a few times, and have come up as a WASP/Convert each time!!! Quite a shock for a cradle Catholic. Of course, there are some relatives who are not Catholic — maybe that explains it!

  5. “Cultural Catholic”
    You are related to longshoremen or teamsters. When people make jokes about nuns and rulers, you don’t laugh; you get that “thousand yard stare” instead. See you at the next Knights of Columbus social.

    Yeah, that fits me pretty well, which is surprising because I was a public-school kid and my family’s Catholicism (cultural and sacramental) was pretty marginal. But I did have a great-uncle named Charlie Ryan who was a K of C in his day. My dad still has his sword.

  9. A lot of this quiz depends on the neighborhood where you live — union halls and stuff like that. You can be pretty darned culturally Catholic and still not be culturally Catholic in the manner this quiz describes.

  10. Well, I took it for fun. Most of the time there were no answers I could really mark, so I picked what I would if.
    So, what happens, but a picture of Scott Hahn, one of the world’s best covenant theologians, pops up.

    You’ve been to a parish bingo game once. Don’t worry, we won’t tell. After all, WASPs are allowed in the Church as well. We just don’t trust you very much. Provided by The Donegal Express
