I got 11 of 15, but the only one that I got wrong that bothers me:

6. Which of the following best describes the Catholic teaching about the bread and wine used for Communion?

The bread and wine are symbolsof the body and blood of Jesus Christ.		The bread and wine actually become the body and blood of Jesus Christ.


I thought the bread & wine were symbolic.

As Coqui point out so eloquently, no. Which is why the priest will consume the leftover bread and wine after Mass.

You answered 15 out of 15 questions correctly for a score of 100%.

that wine is still fermented grape juice. it takes on no properties of blood. no plasma, no blood cells red or white, no platelets, nothing. at the molecular level it is still wine.

it's symbolic by any rational interpretation, even though people claim it isn't. that quiz does make it a point of saying that this is what the teachings say, not what happens in the real world

If your priest insists it's actually transubstantiation, just wait till he needs a blood transfusion, take him some wine and tell him to turn it into blood.

So the same people (Pew Research) also put out a religious quiz. It's kinda dumb for them to pit these two against each other. I know we like to do that in this country, but it's and apple/orange fight.

As expected, I did not fair as well. 10/15

Same. I got the 2 US classroom ones wrong (of course) and the rest were Christianity. They seemed pretty easy to me.

I also got tripped up on the Sabbath one, I always remember it as Islam is Friday, Jews are Saturday and Christians are Sunday, but yeah it actually starts on Friday.

It doesn't matter what you believe/know. It only matters what the Catholic faithful believes.
 
No amount of belief by the world's entire catholic population will actually make transubstantiation anything but symbolic.

Not sure how to get more than just the abstract, but the WHO obtained a sample they tested as real human flesh and AB blood.

EDIT: It's in Italian only.

lol you can't be serious

have you read that?

No, the WHO did obtain a sample and tested it as AB blood. Go a little further in your research.

They also determined the flesh was human, and was comprised of heart tissue.
They determined the blood contained all the necessary proteins of normal blood, was of type AB which is not known to be native in Italy where the sample was taken.
 
The World Health Organization did no such thing. You're referring to a "study" conducted by Odoardo Linoli that has absolutely zero independent review.

The supposed "sample" was hundreds of years old yet not decayed. That alone would have been a piece of information that would completely throw the entire field of biology onto its head.

What you're referring to and what you linked to was not a WHO study. It was an italian professor's attempt at supporting his faith without any attempt at peer review.

Do more research.

:lol: Are you serious?

Is this a thing?

Shit only 25-30% of the Italian population has A blood, and only 5-10% of the Italian population has B blood, with 2.5% of people having AB blood type.

Not native? The only place I can see where any blood type might be 'non-native' is South America where everyone is O. What the fuck? Do you have anything that backs this up? Because I've love to hear that AB is not native to Europe, which is what must also be an extension of this 'truth'.

no it means you're a cylon. hera agathon's blood saved laura roslin because, according to baltar and doc cottle, her blood had no antigens. the colonials were all A, B, or AB. there were no O type blood carriers until they started interbreeding with the toasters
