1. The Blessed Virgin Mary is the Mother of God.

* a) True - She is the mother of Jesus Christ. Jesus is God in the flesh. Therefore, she is the Mother of God.

2. In nomine Patris et fillii et... ?

* b) Holy Spirit - It's latin for "Holy Spirit", know your latin!

3. The Pope is the _____ __ ______ on earth.

* b) Vicar of Christ - "Vicar" meaning "a person who is authorized to perform the functions of another." This doesn't mean the Pope does what God does on Earth, only that his authority is give by Christ through his Papacy, like it was St. Peter.

4. Kepha, Cephas, and Petros are all Aramaic and Greek names that were applied to Peter by Christ. They also mean _______ which is used as such by Christ when He establishes Peter's primacy in the Church. "You are Kepha, and on this Kepha I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it" (Matt. 16:18)

* c) rock - Peter was "the rock" upon which the Church was built, hence his primacy was established.

5. The Roman Missal was first promulgated in 1570 by who?

* b) St. Pius V - That's the guy! One of the greatest fruits of the Council of Trent!
