Re: What kind of Catholic are you?
My results, Im not suprised at all:
You scored as Traditional Catholic. You look at the great piety and holiness of the Church before the Second Vatican Council and the decay of belief and practice since then, and see that much of the decline is due to failed reforms based on the "Spirit of the Council". You regret the loss of vast numbers of Religious and Ordained clergy and the widely diverging celebrations of the Mass of Pope Paul VI, which often don't even seem to be Catholic anymore. You are helping to rebuild this past culture in one of the many new Traditional Latin Mass communities or attend Eastern Catholic Divine Liturgy. You seek refuge from the world of pornography, recreational drugs, violence, and materialism. You are an articulate, confident, committed, and intelligent Catholic. But do you support legitimate reform of the Church, and are you willing to submit to the directives of the Second Vatican Council? Will you cooperate responsibly with others who are not part of the Traditional community? Traditional Catholic - 79% Neo-Conservative Catholic - 57% Radical Catholic - 57% Lukewarm Catholic- 50% Evangelical Catholic - 41% Liberal Catholic - 33% New Catholic - 29%

I'm not surprised either.

Re: What kind of Catholic are you?
WTH is an evangelical Catholic? I suspect that it has to be related to what someone told me time ago. That his grandfather was a "minister" of the Catholic Church (in the U.S.). I got surprised as I argued that there is no such thing, and that someone married cannot administer any sacrament or give mass, unless very exceptional circumstances applied.. or?

Re: What kind of Catholic are you?
You can't be an ex-Catholic, only a lapsed Catholic.
We have such terms to cover you so that you can never really escape Mwuhahaha!

Re: What kind of Catholic are you?
Tiago, no matter how you view it your culture is still that of a Catholic as your world views are influenced by your Christian upbringing.
Even your screen name, Tiago.

Re: What kind of Catholic are you?
I'm an Old Catholic; what do you think about this Church? What does it mean?

These are obviously taken from a Roman Catholic source. I'm sure those belonging to such groups have their own versions.

Re: What kind of Catholic are you?
Marco Pollo: in Portugal, "Old Christian" (cristão-velho) used to mean all those who were originally christians from the time of the reconquista, before the forced conversions of some mozarabs and the expelling of the moors and jews.
New Christians (cristãos novos) were not necessarily of non-spaniard racial type (mozarabs were in fact of european stock but of muslim religion).

Re: What kind of Catholic are you?
You scored as Liberal Catholic. You embrace the social justice mission of the Church, and the view of Catholic community as seen in the Acts of Apostles. You have a great love of the American democratic tradition, but tend to want to apply these traditions to the Church itself and the deposit of faith. You want a married and female clergy, decen |
