Welcome! During Lent I'm only posting once a week, and only doing "quick takes" posts where I write up a few random tidbits in one blog post. If you'd like to see examples of regular posts, check out the links below. I'll resume normal posting after Easter (April 4).

Five years ago I had never once believed in God, not even as a child. All my life I was a content atheist; it was simply obvious to me that God did not exist. I thought that religion and reason were incompatible, and eventually became vocally anti-Christian. In 2005 I began to have doubts about atheism and started this blog to ask questions of believers. Long story short, I blogged my way from lifelong atheism to Catholicism (my husband and I both entered the Catholic Church in 2007). I now write about faith after atheism. Welcome to my blog, I'm glad you're here!
VITALS: I'm 33, have been married for six years, and have four young children: a 5-year-old boy, 3-year-old girl, 2-year-old girl, and another girl born in March 2009.

I missed 3. But on two of them, Karl is wrong, so I didn't really miss them; he's just wrong. And the 3rd one, I didn't read the question carefully enough.
He admits in his explanation to #5 that there are very specific cases in which a person guilty of mortal sin may receive communion without first receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation, which I'm already aware of. So I was using that possibility to inform my answer, and even though his explanation of the right and wrong answers admit this possibility, if you factor it in to your answer, you end up getting 5 and 10 "wrong" by his scoring.
I'm feeling a little ripped off. He should rework it.
Still, it could be a fun exercise to do with a group if you had people who were open to the Church's actual teaching on stuff.
I found myself easily knocking out three options, then having to decide between two choices with one of those choices being the right one.
I am with Dennis. I missed three as well, but only one of them was a legit miss.
On number 5 he most definetely gives the incorrect answer based on how the question is worded and the existing exceptions.
On one of the others I found myself confused by the wording of the answers. I can honestly say I would have gotten it if the answers were worded more clearly.
Not that I..um..take testing seriously or anything. ;-)
Anyway, it was pretty fun despite the fact it needs a bit of improvement.
I got all 20 right. Some of them might be considered "trick" questions, because the true statement doesn't actually answer the question. It's just not false. The only way to get a perfect score is to eliminate the wrong answers, and pick whatever is left.
