The doctrine of the Immaculate Conception means
a. Mary conceived Jesus immaculately in her womb, without the aid of a human father.
b. Mary conceived Jesus immaculately in her womb, and he remained without sin.
c. Mary was conceived immaculately in her mother’s womb, without the aid of a human father.
d. Mary was conceived immaculately in her mother’s womb and was preserved from sin.
a. Wrong, because this defines not the Immaculate Conception, but the Virgin Birth of Jesus (that is, the birth of Jesus from a Virgin).
b. Wrong, even though it is true Jesus remained without sin and was conceived immaculately. The doctrine of the Immaculate Conception concerns Mary’s conception, not Jesus’.
c. Wrong, because Mary had a human father. It is believed her mother’s name was Anne and her father’s Joachim.
d. Correct, because the main consequence of the Immaculate Conception is that Mary was able to live a sinless life. (She could have sinned, had she so chosen, but she chose not to; Adam and Eve could have chosen not to sin, but they chose to sin.)

Papal infallibility means
a. The pope is preserved by the Holy Spirit from committing mortal sins.
b. Anything the pope teaches is guaranteed by the Holy Spirit to be true.
c. The pope’s teachings must be obeyed because he is under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and thus speaks for the Holy Spirit, who cannot err.
d. The pope is incapable of teaching erroneously on matters of faith and morals when he teaches publicly and officially a doctrine for all Christians, not just Catholics, to hold.
a. Wrong. This is the notion of impeccability–the inability to sin. Only Jesus was impeccable. It has nothing to do with infallibility, which means the inability to err.
b. Wrong, because the pope’s infallibility is guaranteed only when he speaks officially on matters of faith and morals. If he tells you who will win the next World Series, keep your betting money in your pocket.
c. Wrong, even though it is true that the pope’s teaching (even his non-infallible teaching) must be obeyed. This simply isn’t what the doctrine of infallibility means.
d. Correct, as defined formally at Vatican I (1870).
Vocare means ______.
To call
Name 2 Active Orders
Various answers
Priests pray the __________ daily.
Liturgy of the Hours (Divine Office)

novitiate
The doctrine of the Trinity means
a. There is one God who manifests himself in the three distinct roles of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
b. Since the Resurrection there have been four persons in the Trinity, the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus Christ the God-Man.
c. In the Godhead there is only one divine person, and he takes on different aspects according to his actions as Creator, Redeemer, or Sanctifier.
d. There are three Gods who work so closely together that it is proper to call them one God.
e. None of the above
a. Wrong, because this is the heresy of Modalism, which says that there is one Person in the Godhead and that Person, so to speak, wears different “masks” according to his different activities.
b. Wrong. This is another nonsense answer. The very word Trinity comes from the prefix for three (“tri”), so you should have seen right away that the Trinity could not be composed of four Persons.
c. Wrong, because this is just a rephrasing, in “gender neutral language,” of 6a.
d. Wrong, because Christians are monotheists and believe in one God, not three. No matter how closely together three gods work, they remain three gods, not one.
e. Correct, because all the other possible answers are wrong.
"Cloistered" means _________.
Separated from the world

prayer.

Purgatory is
a. A state of natural happiness where souls of unbaptized infants and morally good non-Christians will wait until they are judged on the Last Day.
b. A state of mild punishment for people who were not bad enough to go to hell and who were not good enough to go to heaven.
c. A state of purification for people who die in the state of grace but who do not die with complete love for God.
d. A temporary state where sincere people who do not die in the state of grace get a second chance to do good and thus avoid going to hell.
e. None of the above.
a. Wrong, because what is described is almost (not quite) the definition of limbo–not quite because limbo is posited to be a permanent state of natural happiness, not one that will end on the Last Day.
b. Wrong, first because the answer suggests purgatory is permanent (in fact, it will cease to exist at the end of the world when the last person leaves it for heaven), second because the answer suggests purgatory is for people who are not good enough to go to heaven (in fact, it is precisely for people who are good enough to go to heaven–but not quite yet; everyone who goes to purgatory will go to heaven).
c. Correct, because purgatory is a state in which the last vestiges of self-love are removed, so we might enter heaven according to Revelation 21:27, which says “nothing unclean shall enter heaven.”
d. Wrong, because you only go around once in life (“It is appointed to man once to die and then comes judgment” [Heb. 9:27]). Your soul is judged immediately after your death, and your fate is sealed then.
e. Wrong, because 16c is correct.
