    God's mercy refers to His compassionate and forgiving nature towards humanity. It is an expression of His love and grace. By stating that God's mercy is an invitation to return to a covenant relationship with Him, it implies that when God shows mercy, He is calling us to reconcile and reestablish our connection with Him.

    In the Liturgical Year, the Church celebrates

    • The Triduum extended through the 40 days of Eastertide

    • The whole mystery of Christ from incarnation to Pentecost

    • With Christmas as the key feastday

    • The Lord's Day extended to Saturday night

    Correct Answer
    A. The whole mystery of Christ from incarnation to Pentecost
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "the whole mystery of Christ from incarnation to Pentecost." This answer accurately reflects the liturgical year in the Church, which encompasses the entire life and ministry of Christ, starting from his incarnation (birth) and culminating in Pentecost (the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles). This period includes important feasts such as Christmas (celebrating the birth of Christ) but also covers other significant events like his passion, death, resurrection, and ascension. The liturgical year is a way for the Church to commemorate and relive the key moments of Christ's life and teachings.

    Jesus willed that the Church should be the instrument of forgiveness on earth.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    This statement is true because in Christian belief, Jesus established the Church as a means for people to receive forgiveness for their sins. The Church is seen as the earthly representation of Jesus and his teachings, and it is through the sacraments and the guidance of the Church that believers can seek forgiveness and reconciliation with God. Jesus entrusted the Church with the authority to forgive sins, as stated in the Bible, particularly in the Gospel of John where Jesus tells his disciples, "If you forgive anyone's sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven" (John 20:23).

    The seal of confession refers to the soundproofing of the confessional chapel.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given statement is false. The seal of confession does not refer to the soundproofing of the confessional chapel. The seal of confession is a sacred obligation of confidentiality that Catholic priests have towards the penitents who confess their sins. It means that priests are bound to keep the information shared during confession confidential and cannot disclose it to anyone else under any circumstances. The soundproofing of the confessional chapel is unrelated to the concept of the seal of confession.

    • The songs and rituals of Catholic worship

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "efficacious signs, instituted by Christ, entrusted to the Church." This answer accurately describes the nature of the Sacraments in the Catholic faith. Sacraments are considered to be efficacious signs because they represent and bring about the grace they signify. They are also believed to have been instituted by Christ himself and are entrusted to the Church to administer to the faithful. This answer aligns with the teachings and beliefs of the Catholic Church regarding the Sacraments.

    Confession, absolution & satisfaction are always required; contrition is optional.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This statement is false. In the context of religious confession, all four elements - confession, absolution, satisfaction, and contrition - are typically required. Confession involves acknowledging and admitting one's sins, absolution is the forgiveness granted by a priest or religious authority, satisfaction refers to the penance or acts of reparation assigned to the penitent, and contrition is the sincere remorse or regret for committing the sins. Therefore, contrition is not optional but an essential component of the confession process.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is explaining that while the sacrament has evolved over time, there are two essential components that have remained consistent. These components are the actions of the penitent, meaning the actions and intentions of the person seeking forgiveness, and the actions of Christ through the ministry of the church, meaning the role of the church in facilitating and administering the sacrament. The statement is asserting that these two elements have remained unchanged throughout the centuries.

    • Salt & Light of the world

    Correct Answer
    A. Teaching & evangelizing

    The phrase "Church as prophet" refers to the role of the Church in teaching and evangelizing. As a prophet, the Church is responsible for proclaiming and spreading the teachings of Jesus Christ and sharing the message of salvation with the world. This includes teaching the truths of the faith, calling people to conversion, and sharing the good news of the Gospel. Through its teachings and evangelization efforts, the Church fulfills its prophetic role of guiding and enlightening the faithful and leading them closer to God.

    • Holy Spirit

    • Gospel of the Holy Spirit

    Correct Answer
    A. Holy Spirit
    Explanation
    The statement "Pentecost shows the Trinity's plan of love" is matched with the phrase "Holy Spirit." This is because Pentecost is a Christian holiday that commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and followers of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is considered to be the third person of the Trinity, along with God the Father and Jesus Christ. The event of Pentecost is seen as a manifestation of the Holy Spirit's presence and power, and it is often associated with the outpouring of God's love and the spreading of the Gospel message.

    • Pope

    Correct Answer
    A. Priest, prophet & King
    Explanation
    The phrase "Priest, prophet & King" matches the statement "Christ's offices" because it refers to the three roles that Christ fulfills. As a priest, he offers himself as a sacrifice for the salvation of humanity. As a prophet, he proclaims the word of God and reveals divine truths. And as a king, he rules over all creation and has authority over his followers. This phrase encompasses the various aspects of Christ's mission and ministry on Earth.

This sacrament involves the confession of sins, the expression of sincere remorse, the act of penance or making amends, and receiving forgiveness from God through the priest.

    • Gathering of people

    • Sacrament of Holy Orders

    • Pope

    • Holy Spirit

    Correct Answer
    A. It's both visible yet spiritual
    Explanation
    The phrase "Church as mystery" refers to the concept that the Church is both visible and spiritual. This means that while the Church is a physical institution made up of people and structures, it also has a deeper spiritual dimension that cannot be fully understood or explained. The Church's visibility is evident in its physical presence and the gathering of people, while its spirituality is represented by the sacraments, the role of the Pope, and the presence of the Holy Spirit. This phrase captures the paradoxical nature of the Church as both a tangible institution and a mystical body.

    • Initiation, healing and Service

    Correct Answer
    A. Initiation, healing and Service
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Initiation, healing and Service." This grouping of the sacraments is based on their purpose and function within the Catholic Church. Initiation sacraments include Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist, which are necessary for becoming a full member of the Church. Healing sacraments include Reconciliation (Confession) and Anointing of the Sick, which offer forgiveness and spiritual healing. Service sacraments include Holy Orders (ordination of priests and deacons) and Matrimony (marriage), which are dedicated to serving others and the community.

    Correct Answer
    A. the authoritative voice of Christ exercised by the successors of Peter and the apostles.
    Explanation
    The Magisterium refers to the authoritative voice of Christ, which is exercised by the successors of Peter and the apostles. This means that the Magisterium is the teaching authority of the Catholic Church, entrusted to the Pope and the bishops, who are the successors of Peter and the apostles. They have the responsibility to interpret and pass on the teachings of Christ to the faithful. This explanation is supported by the statement that the Magisterium is the authoritative voice of Christ exercised by the successors of Peter and the apostles.

    • co-extensive since they both involve ceremonies.

    • identical since one is Latin & one Greek for the same thing

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The term Liturgy is broader in scope as it encompasses all the official prayer life of the church, not just Catholic rites. While sacraments are a part of the liturgy, liturgy also includes other aspects such as the Divine Office, prayers, and rituals. Therefore, liturgy is not limited to Catholic rites but encompasses the entire official prayer life of the church.

    Correct Answer
    A. Sheepfold, temple, field
    Explanation
    The statement "Images of the Church" can be matched with the phrase "Sheepfold, temple, field" because these three images are often used to represent different aspects of the Church. The image of the sheepfold emphasizes the idea of the Church as a place of safety and protection, where believers are cared for by their shepherd, Jesus. The image of the temple highlights the Church as a place of worship and encounter with God, where believers come together to offer their praise and prayers. The image of the field symbolizes the Church's mission to go out into the world and bring the message of the Gospel to all people.

    Explanation
    The phrase "Church as sacrament" refers to the idea that the Church is both visible and spiritual. This means that while the Church is a physical institution with buildings, rituals, and members, it also has a deeper spiritual significance. The Church is seen as a sacrament, a visible sign of God's grace and presence in the world. This understanding emphasizes the belief that the Church is not just a human organization, but a divine institution that mediates God's grace to the world.

    Explanation
    The statement is false because there are not 2 sacraments of Healing. In fact, there is only one sacrament of Healing, which is Anointing of the Sick. Extreme Unction is an outdated term that was used in the past to refer to the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick. However, the Second Vatican Council clarified that Anointing of the Sick is the correct and current term to be used. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

    • True

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    General absolution does not involve one priest giving absolution to a group of people who all have the same sin. In general absolution, a priest may give absolution to a group of people in certain circumstances, such as in times of emergency or when it is not possible for each individual to confess individually. However, each person in the group must still confess their sins individually and receive absolution personally. Therefore, the statement is false.

This phrase reflects St. Francis' belief that actions speak louder than words when it comes to preaching the message of God. He emphasized the importance of living a life that is consistent with one's beliefs, rather than relying solely on verbal communication to spread the teachings of the faith.
