Catholic History Trivial Pursuit.

[buflineks]

Okay, here's something that is open to all members regardless of religon or lack thereof. This is a "HISTORY" thread.

After Scipio gave me the Idea, I thought, "what the heck" could be fun.

I don't know if this is the correct forum, but if the mods want to change it, so be it.

Rules.

1. One question per post.

2. After someone answers the question correctly, they can ask a question. first person to post the Answer is considered the "winner" of the question.

3. All of the questions must deal with Catholic Church history

4. Final Authority will be NewAdvent.org.

My next post will be the first question.

Good luck, and have fun doing this.

[buflineks]

Name the Bishop who baptized the Anglo-Saxon King, Eadwine of Northumbria, in 627 A.D?

[RayMan]

Catholic Church history as in CATHOLIC or catholic? Inquiring minds want to know buf. Well, they may not want to know buf but that's another subject.

It's all in the research.;)

I wouldn't play this with Dr. Thomas. He'd wax my tail. And he's Evangelical.

[RayMan]

[buflineks]

Name the Bishop who baptized the Anglo-Saxon King, Eadwine of Northumbria, in 627 A.D?

Next question is yours terri.

Also accpetable would have been St. Paulinus and Paulinus of Rome.

[scipio337]

Damn, could I stink so bad at the game I suggested? :)

[terri910]

Oh, heavens, I can't think UP trivia questions!!

You need to have arch or scipio or someone make up the next one!

[terri910]

I suppose I could ask why St. Nicholas is the patron saint of pawnbrokers......?

That's not very hard trivia, though.



Still....it could make another person "it"...*L*

[buflineks]

Damn, could I stink so bad at the game I suggested? :)

I don't know.:mrgreen:

We'll see what teri comes up with and then others.

This should be fun.

Where and when was the first Catholic diocese formed in the US?

[mdk190]

Okay...


Where and when was the first Catholic diocese formed in the US?

I think in Baltimore in the 19th century.

[terri910]

Okay...


Where and when was the first Catholic diocese formed in the US?
I may need to look up the correct definition of "diocese" and do some major historical research to know whether or not me asking the following question is stupid or not:
...are we talking about the first Catholic diocese formed in what was recognized at that time as the USA, or the first Catholic diocese formed in the land that is NOW known as the USA?

[scipio337]

MDK got the place right, but is off on the year:

Archdiocese of Baltimore

Established as a diocese 6 April, 1789;
as an archdiocese 8 April, 1808
At the request of the American clergy, Pius VI established this, the first Catholic diocese in the United States.

[buflineks]

congratulations MDK.

MDK is up.

Well you made it a worthwhile adventure to come back today. :D

Mine may be a fairly easy one since I am less versed in Catholic History than my own but here it goes.


Athanasius claimed him to be one of the first Hermit Monks, who is he?

[scipio337]

Well you made it a worthwhile adventure to come back today. :D

Mine may be a fairly easy one since I am less versed in Catholic History than my own but here it goes.


Athanasius claimed him to be one of the first Hermit Monks, who is he?Hmmm....I'm guessing its before St. Benedict......


St. Anthony, my namesake?

[cbut1]

Hmmm....I'm guessing its before St. Benedict......


St. Anthony, my namesake?

Which one? :D

[scipio337]

Which one? :DIts probably before Anthony of Padua (my namesake), so I'm guessing Anthony the Great, aka Anthony of Egypt.

Congradulations

[scipio337]

Thanks!


Is it alright for a non-history question, or are we sticking to history?

[cbut1]

The perameters set in the OP say yes it has to be a Catholic History question.

[scipio337]

Who was the first person to use the Labarum, and why?

Kinda easy....

[buflineks]

examples of questions.

What is the name of the Papal summer residence?

What templar wrote the 21st century treatese "Drunkeness recepticus"?

What day is the Feast of St. Patrick?

etc.

Things like that. Nothing to involved in theology which could be subject to interpretation.

[buflineks]

Who was the first person to use the Labarum, and why?

Kinda easy....

The Emporer Constantine the Great (before he became "Great") He saw the image in a vision and according to legend was told to put the symbol upon the shields of his men to be victorius in battle.

[buflineks]

Who was the first Catholic priest to preach to the Japanese in 1549?

[RayMan]

I am thinking buf?

[scipio337]

Who was the first Catholic priest to preach to the Japanese in 1549?Yeah, we need a new rule: no picking any more saints Scipio is named after (this one's my confirmation name, so I'm recusing myself).

[Reeder]

Yeah, we need a new rule: no picking any more saints Scipio is named after (this one's my confirmation name, so I'm recusing myself).

Every time I read your name I think "scorpio." :)

[Hadassah]

What templar wrote the 21st century treatese "Drunkeness recepticus"?



That would be the noted Irish historian, buflineks.


What do I win? :mrgreen: :dance:

[Hadassah]

Who was the first Catholic priest to preach to the Japanese in 1549?

St. Francis Xavier

[RayMan]

That would be the noted Irish historian, buflineks.


What do I win? :mrgreen: :dance:

Too late Miss H. I already got this one. If a Baptist can play so can a Pentecostal. :D:dance:

[buflineks]

St. Francis Xavier

correct.

as to the Buflineks answer, that was only an example

I don't think that we should include those who are "Ebriosus Ecclesiae" in this thread.

[buflineks]

Too late Miss H. I already got this one. If a Baptist can play so can a Pentecostal. :D:dance:

anyone can play.

[THE LIGHT]

Every time I read your name I think "scorpio." :)

same here. I can't seem to get that one out of my head.:D Maybe knowing that he is a saint will help.:angel:

[Hadassah]

correct.

as to the Buflineks answer, that was only a test.

I don't think that we should include those who are "Ebriosus Ecclesiae" in this thread.

yeah, no kidding the buf answer was only a test. :D


and huh? Ebriosus Ecclesiae?

[RayMan]

yeah, no kidding the buf answer was only a test. :D
I KNEW you guys were gonna pull that. And its the only answer I will right in this entire thread. :frown::frown:

[Hadassah]

I KNEW you guys were gonna pull that. And its the only answer I will right in this entire thread. :frown::frown:

I had nothing to do with that. :mrgreen:

[buflineks]

btw hadassah, you're up.

[scipio337]

same here. I can't seem to get that one out of my head.:D Maybe knowing that he is a saint will help.:angel:No, there is no "Saint Scipio", I meant my personal name.

The user name is from "Scipio Africanus", history's greatest general. If it helps you concentrate less on "scorpio", think of the Battle of Zama reenactment in Gladiator

[Hadassah]

Who was the 110th pope?

[scipio337]

Who was the 110th pope?That's tough. Including Stephen II and the antipopes, or no?

[buflineks]

That's tough. Including Stephen II and the antipopes, or no?

I think that the Libres Pontificus should be used on that one.

[Hadassah]

oy vey. :doh:

[buflineks]

St. Adrian III

[Hadassah]

bingo.

Hi, I'm Hadassah, RN, BSN, SFO. :D

[archangelo]

If a priest has the letters 'PA, JCD' after his name...what does it mean?

He's a lawyer, so PA (Professional Association) means he is self-incorporated (even lawyer priests are paranoid about getting sued). JCD is Juris Canonici Doctor, Doctor of Canon Law.

[buflineks]

He aggressively commanded the reserve division that pulled Andrea Doria's butt out of the water when Uluj Ali broke through the Christian line.

Pius II is supposed to have "ordered" the creation of the "militant Knights" in 1450 (one those eras of "anti-popes". it gets confusing). The "Jesuits" of today were founded by Ignatius of Loyola. But the actual establishment of the order was 1540 due to the papal Bull by Paull III "Regimini militantis ecclesia" ( issued 27 sept. 1540).

Nicholas V was a "compromise" Pope and is listed in the Libre Pontificis as being the "true" Pope at that time (1450)

[THE LIGHT]

Pius II

yes!!!!:D

good job but it took 2 times. I guess, that is when Regis would ask: "final answer?":lol:

I will have to think of a better one...

edited to add: whoops you did get it right the first time... I must be asleep!

He's a lawyer, so PA (Professional Association) means he is self-incorporated (even lawyer priests are paranoid about getting sued). JCD is Juris Canonici Doctor, Doctor of Canon Law.

*BZZZZZZT*

Incorrect...the question is still "live"...

Be out for a while...

Arch...and everyone...the ENTIRE answer complies with the rules originally set forth in the OP.

My question is still active. Arch got the second part right, but not the first...

If a priest has the letters 'PA, JCD' after his name...what does it mean?

Your certain post 129 by Arch isn't a correct response?

I said JCD was correct.

His explanation of PA was NOT correct.

[cbut1]

I am going with PA being Preacher Apostolic.

A dignitary of the pontifical household. As a regular function, under special Regulations, this office was established by Paul IV, in 1555

[texan_rep]

PA is Protonotary Apostolic.

[texan_rep]

Also the highest grade of the title of "Monsignor". It was once described to me as "just a smidgen less than a bishop", and at one time the holder of this grade was allowed to wear the episcopal mitre, as well as having robes that were very close to those of a bishop.

When I was growing up, my parish priest had, as his name on the board in front of church, the following bewildering sequence:

Rt. Rev. Msgr. [his name], JCD, PA

[cbut1]

PA is Protonotary Apostolic.

Well then I didn't get it right because that is another position of High esteem within the Catholic Curia.


Prothonotary Apostolic - A member of the highest college of prelates in the Roman Curia


I answerd this one.

Preacher Apostolic - A dignitary of the pontifical household.

I was brought up Catholic and was subjected to 13 years of Catholic school, counting kindergarten.

For me, "being Catholic" seems like an unfortunate accident of birth.

It's been almost 40 years since I last regularly attended mass, but I seem to recall that, for a low mass, no candles were used, and for a high mass, two candles were brought in by the acolytes/alterboys with the priest's entrance.

For me, you surprised me bayoubill. I came up thru the ranks of catholocism as well but mine are happy if not very funny memories that one could use on any comic show.

I have been on an interesting journey of faith. Mine started by being Anglican. And by asking my minister why Henry the viii decided to leave the Church in Rome....tick tock here comes a whole lotta crock when you are an anglican.

I appreciate your comments, TD.

My experiences with Catholicism were not happy, but I know that others are satisfied with being Catholic.

I've also had an interesting journey of faith. After much travail, I'd come to connect to and rely on my inner voice, aka my intuition, which I believe is the same thing as the Holy Spirit described by the various religions.

I've lately lost touch with my inner voice, but I hope to soon become reconnected.

Under 20 percent, but from what I remember your local parish will have wine with 12%

Hey, wow, I just found a cool article as I was trying to answer the question.


Published: April 11, 1990
LEAD: SACRAMENTAL wine may be the lowest-profile wine in the United States. Though drunk daily, primarily by Roman Catholics, Episcopalians and Lutherans, it is rarely discussed and almost never seen in bottles.

SACRAMENTAL wine may be the lowest-profile wine in the United States. Though drunk daily, primarily by Roman Catholics, Episcopalians and Lutherans, it is rarely discussed and almost never seen in bottles.

Sales and consumption rise markedly at the Easter season, when many more people go to services.

''The wine for the Eucharist must be natural and pure, from the fruit of the vine,'' says Roman Catholic canon law, which governs the making of altar wine. The wines are usually bought on the bulk-wine market and fortified with neutral spirits or brandy to preserve them; the alcohol content may not exceed 20 percent.

The wines are made and bottled by a handful of companies in the United States. Generally they sell for $2 to $3 a bottle, but only to churches, not consumers. Often they are blends of a number of grapes. The nation's largest producer, the Mont La Salle Altar Wine Company in the Napa Valley of California, makes a rose of petite sirah, zinfandel, ruby cabernet and cabernet sauvignon.

''It is not too sweet and not too dry, and it is palatable to the great majority of the people,'' said the Rev. Lawrence W. Hehman, rector of the Cathedral of Christ the King in Lexington, Ky. ''I want the wine's color to remind them of the blood of Christ.''

But not all the wine is red or rose; there are white wines like haut sauterne and chablis. Others carry religious-sounding names like golden angelica, St. Paul and chalice white.

How do they taste? ''There's very little sacramental wine that's good,'' said the Rev. E. Frank Henriques of Grass Valley, Calif., an Episcopal priest who is the author of The Signet Encyclopedia of Wine (New American Library, 1984) - though he did fondly recall a gold-medal-winning ruby port communion wine made from San Joaquin Valley flame tokay grapes that he gave congregants in Sutter Creek, Calif. ''We used it for a year or so, and everybody was much more devout,'' he said.

Still, a tasting of Mont La Salle wines found some that were pleasanter than many commercial jug wines.

''I do not find it sacrilegious or inappropriate to evaluate sacramental wines as one would evaluate any other wines,'' said Brother James Laufenberg, a former director of wine education for the Christian Brothers. ''We encouraged sensory, commercial and journalistic criticism of them.''

St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Astoria, L.I., cares about the appeal of communion wine. The Rev. John Antonopoulos, the assistant pastor, says worshipers like mavrodaphne, a savory dessert wine from the Peloponnesus, and a sweet muscat of Samos tinged with a Cypriot red.

Mont La Salle began as a division of Christian Brothers, a lay religious teaching order that ran a large winery in Napa Valley. But last year Christian Brothers sold its winery and vineyards to Heublein Inc., which in turn sold Mont La Salle to four former Christian Brothers employees.

Mont La Salle promotes its wares with a touch of irreverence: its national number is 1-800-His Vino.

The second largest supplier of sacramental wines is Cribari Quality Reserve Altar Wines in Fresno, Calif. Ted Cribari, the president, estimates that his company and Mont La Salle market 90 percent of all altar wines sold in North America.

Unlike altar wines, many kosher wines for Passover, sabbath and daily purposes are enjoying a new popularity, thanks to the high quality of vintage-dated varietals like chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon and a shift away from sweet, heavy Concord grape wines.


But Father Hehman, of Lexington, said he would not use fancy vintage-dated wines for communion, even if they were affordable. ''They would represent a sophisticated, snooty, wealthy approach to the table of the Lord, and that would not bring all of the people there,'' he said.

In any case, no altar wine is likely to equal the red used by Abbe Juste Liger-Belair, who owns La Romanee, one of France's prized vineyards. Now and then, Burgundians say, he celebrates Mass with his own product - sparingly.

I am dying for the punchline on this one. There was a great Irish comedian, Dave Allen who did the funniest routine on Irish burials and racing down the road with your beloved, but definitely departed to get to the graveyard first.

[buflineks]

WHY are the pubs located next door to the Churches in Ireland?? :lol:

Several reasons.

1. most pubs were there before the churches were.
2. where's the best place to "fight sin"? on it's own turf.
3. It saves the priest time after mass to get to the pub in order to have a pint and watch the football games.
