Last night, we played "Catholic Trivia" after the Tuesday dinner. The students here did very well, getting every question correct except for one (the first question of Round 2). These are not the most difficult questions in the Catholic trivia world, but they did get the students thinking. Some who participated said they actually learned some things (one of the main points of the game). Here are the questions and answers; see how you do!

This website has some other quizzes:
http://www.funtrivia.com/quizzes/religion/christianity/roman_catholicism.html
Here is one winning sample of the Washington Post's Mensa Invitational from last year. Readers take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition.
Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.
And another one, where two letters were changed.
Chutzpel (adv.) - a way to define a Pharisee's interpretation of the Gospels.(Chutzpah ang Gospel)
I could see where this could be a fun mind teaser, but only if limits of respect and good taste were part of the game's rules.
Thank you so much for this trivia :)
I am going to use it to quiz my youth group.
-God Bless
