    The sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation can only be received once in a person's lifetime. These sacraments are considered to be foundational and transformative, marking a person's initiation into the Christian faith and their commitment to living a life of faith. Once a person has received these sacraments, they are believed to be permanently sealed with the Holy Spirit and fully initiated into the Church. Therefore, there is no need or possibility to receive them again.

    Correct Answer
    A. Jesus - the body, blood, soul and divinity of Christ
    Explanation

In the Catholic faith, the bread and wine used in the sacrament of communion are believed to undergo transubstantiation, where they become the actual body and blood of Jesus. This belief is based on the words of Jesus during the Last Supper, where he said, "This is my body" and "This is my blood." Therefore, when a person receives communion, they believe they are receiving the true presence of Jesus in the form of bread and wine.

Each person is distinct, yet they are all considered to be one God. This concept is central to the Christian faith.

This statement aligns with the Catholic doctrine and understanding of the afterlife.

It is considered a universal condition that is only removed through baptism in some Christian traditions.

    • By receiving Holy Communion

    • By praying to God

    • By doing a good deed

    Correct Answer
    A. By receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation
    Explanation
    The Sacrament of Reconciliation is the correct answer because it is a sacrament in the Catholic Church that allows for the forgiveness of mortal sins. Through this sacrament, a person confesses their sins to a priest, expresses genuine remorse, and receives absolution, or forgiveness, from God. This sacrament is considered necessary for the forgiveness of mortal sins, which are serious offenses against God's law. Receiving Holy Communion, praying to God, and doing good deeds are all important aspects of the Catholic faith, but they do not specifically address the forgiveness of mortal sins in the same way that the Sacrament of Reconciliation does.

Peter's role as the leader of the early Christian community and his significant influence in shaping the early Church solidify his position as the first Pope.

    Explanation
    When a baby is baptized, their godparents play an important role in the ceremony. They make promises on behalf of the baby, including the promise to never give up the practice of their Catholic faith.

The tabernacle is typically located on or near the altar and is used to store the consecrated hosts, which are believed to be the body of Christ. This allows for the reserved sacrament to be available for communion to the sick and homebound, as well as for adoration and prayer by the faithful.

Mortal sins are grave offenses that completely sever our relationship with God, while venial sins are lesser offenses that weaken our relationship with God but do not completely sever it. The distinction between mortal and venial sins is important because mortal sins require repentance and confession in order to be forgiven, while venial sins can be forgiven through acts of contrition and receiving the Eucharist.

It is believed to sever the person's relationship with God and deprive them of sanctifying grace. As a result, they are condemned to eternal separation from God in Hell.

    Explanation
    The commandments that tell us not to "covet" are nine and ten. These commandments emphasize the importance of being content with what we have and not desiring or being envious of what others possess. Coveting can lead to feelings of greed, jealousy, and dissatisfaction, which can harm relationships and create a negative mindset. By following these commandments, we are encouraged to focus on gratitude, appreciating our own blessings, and respecting the possessions and achievements of others.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer

    Rate this question:

  • 48. 

    Which sacrament besides Baptism and Confirmation can you only receive once?

    • Matrimony

    • Holy Orders

    • Anointing of the Sick

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Holy Orders
    Explanation
    Holy Orders is the correct answer because it is a sacrament that is only received once in a person's lifetime. Holy Orders is the sacrament through which men are ordained as deacons, priests, or bishops in the Catholic Church. Once a man is ordained, he is permanently marked with an indelible spiritual character, and this sacrament cannot be repeated or received again. Therefore, Holy Orders is the only sacrament, besides Baptism and Confirmation, that can only be received once.

    Rate this question:

  • 49. 

    What kind of sin would it be to receive Confirmation in the state of mortal sin?

    • Venial

    • Mortal

    • Sacrilege

    • Both B and C

    Correct Answer
    A. Sacrilege
    Explanation
    Receiving Confirmation in a state of mortal sin would be considered sacrilege. Sacrilege refers to the deliberate violation or disrespect of something that is considered sacred or holy. In this case, receiving the sacrament of Confirmation, which is a sacred and important rite in the Catholic Church, while being in a state of mortal sin would be a grave offense and a disrespect towards the sacrament and the Church. It is important for individuals to confess and repent their sins before receiving sacraments like Confirmation to ensure they are in a state of grace.
