Praised be Jesus Christ! Our Diocese hosted the annual Brains and Brawn event a couple weeks ago to signal the start of Catholic Schools Week. It was then that I was reminded of how we hosted our own informal Quiz bowl in this column last August, but I failed to subsequently list the answers. Well, as they say, “it’s better late than never.” For those of you who were left in suspense all this time, the questions and their answers are as follows: 1) Name at least three of the first ten Popes: Peter, Linus, Cletus, Clement, Evaristus, Alexander, Sixtus, Telesphorus, Hyginus, Pius; 2) Name the two levels of Holy Orders that come before Bishop: Priest and Deacon; 3) List four of the seven capital sins: pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, lust; 4) Name the patron saint of lost objects and lost causes: St. Anthony – lost objects, St. Jude – lost causes; 5) List two of the three things kept in the Ark of the Covenant: manna, rod of Aaron, and 10 Commandments; 6) Where is the putative burial cloth of Jesus? Turin, Italy, aka the Shroud of Turin; 7) How many books are there in a Catholic Bible? 73: 46 in O.T., 27 in N.T.; 8) Who was the first to witness the Resurrection? Mary Magdalene; 9) Why was Jesus born in Bethlehem? Because of the census conducted by the Emperor – Joseph was from Bethlehem; 10) How many dioceses are there in Wisconsin? Five; 11) What is the smallest country in the world? Vatican City State; 12) Name the Pope’s army: Swiss guard; 13) List three corporal or spiritual works of mercy: feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, visit the sick, visit the imprisoned, give clothing to the naked, give shelter to the homeless, bury the dead, admonish the sinner, instruct the ignorant, console the sorrowful, counsel the doubtful, forgive all willingly, bear wrongs patiently, pray for the living and the dead; 14) List the four Gospel writers and at least two of their attending symbols: Matthew – man/angel; Mark – lion; Luke – Ox; John – Eagle; 15) Name our last three bishops: Callahan, Listecki, Burke, John Paul, Freking, Treacy; 16) Name an American Saint: St. Philippine Duchesne, St. Junipero Serra, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, St. Katharine Drexel, St. John Neumann, St. Mother Cabrini; 17) List two of the four Patriarchal Basilicas: St. Peter, St. Paul outside the walls, St. Mary Major, St. John Lateran; 18) List one of the two minor basilicas in Wisconsin: Holy Hill and St. Josaphat in Milwaukee; 19) Where did St. Paul die? Outside the city walls of Rome; 20) List the first five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Okay, how did you do? Remember what the prize was for a perfect score . . . . a week’s trip in Father Sedlacek’s car. Sadly, he drives a Chevy, so it might not be a very enjoyable ride. As you know, I was in an accident in Milwaukee on my way to the airport on January 18th. I was not at fault and nobody got hurt, thanks be to God. My poor Ford Focus was rear -ended and damaged to the point that it was declared totaled. At 10 years old with just over 151,000 miles, our glorious run together had come to an end. The insurance company offered a generous settlement and my car was taken away to be turned into SpongeBob lunch boxes. In the meantime, I followed the path of inevitability and bought another Focus. This one is Virgin Blue in honor of our Blessed Mother. Keep your eyes peeled for another quiz sometime this year . . . the winner gets a ride to Pittsville in my new car. And for $20.00, I’ll even give you a ride back!
May God help us to know the truth of His teachings, so that our hearts may be free to love wisely! Your friend in Christ, Father Martin
