2.

Who gave the Priests the authority to forgive sins?
- People who go to church.
- Jesus.
- Nuns.
- No one.
Correct Answer

A. Jesus.

Explanation

Jesus gave the Priests the authority to forgive sins. In the Bible, Jesus tells his disciples, "If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained" (John 20:23). This verse indicates that Jesus granted the power of forgiveness to his disciples, who later became the first priests of the Christian Church. Therefore, the authority to forgive sins was given by Jesus himself.

If the person is unconscious, the person recieves three Sacraments in which order?
- Confession, The Anointing of the Sick, The Holy Eucharist
- The Anointing of the Sick, The Holy Eucharist, Confession
- Confession, The Holy Eucharist, The Anointing of the Sick
- The Holy Eucharist, Confession, The Anointing of the Sick
Correct Answer

A. Confession, The Anointing of the Sick, The Holy Eucharist

Explanation

When a person is unconscious, the person receives the Sacraments in the order of Confession, The Anointing of the Sick, and The Holy Eucharist. This order is followed because Confession allows the person to confess their sins and seek forgiveness before receiving the other two Sacraments. The Anointing of the Sick is then administered to provide spiritual healing and strength during the person's illness. Finally, The Holy Eucharist is given to nourish the person's soul with the body and blood of Christ.

What should you do when you commit a sin?
- Ignore it.
- Talk to someone .
- Talk to the Priest and ask for forgiveness
- Feel guilty about it all the time
Correct Answer

A. Talk to the Priest and ask for forgiveness

Explanation

When you commit a sin, talking to the Priest and asking for forgiveness is the recommended course of action. This is because in many religious traditions, the Priest acts as a mediator between individuals and the divine, and they have the authority to grant forgiveness on behalf of God. By confessing your sins to the Priest, you are acknowledging your wrongdoing and seeking guidance and absolution. This can provide a sense of relief and help you to move forward on a path of repentance and spiritual growth.

5.

The priest is not allowed to give absolution and the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick when a person dies suddenly.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

The statement is false because the priest is allowed to give absolution and the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick to a person who dies suddenly. In the Catholic Church, this is known as "conditional absolution" and it is done in cases where the person may have been unable to receive the sacraments before their death. The priest can offer these sacraments as a way to provide spiritual comfort and support to the deceased and their loved ones.

While others may assist in the ceremony, such as godparents or family members, it is ultimately the priest who administers the sacrament.
