What’s your theological worldview? <\/p>\n

I took a little online quiz to find out. <\/p>\n

The results?<\/p>\n

According to the quiz: “You scored as a Roman Catholic<\/b>. Church tradition and ecclesial authority are hugely important, and the most important part of worship for you is mass. As the Mother of God, Mary is important in your theology, and as the communion of saints includes the living and the dead, you can also ask the saints to intercede for you.” <\/p>\n

The bishop in my diocese<\/a> will be heartened to hear that. So will the good Sisters of Saint Joseph<\/a> who toiled tirelessly to teach me the catechism and the meaning of words like “transubstantiation.”<\/a> <\/p>\n

But wait, there’s more: my theological breakdown (so to speak) is below: <\/p>\n

100% Roman Catholic<\/p>\n

79% Neo orthodox<\/p>\n

75% Evangelical Holiness\/Wesleyan<\/p>\n

50% Emergent\/Postmodern<\/p>\n

36% Charismatic\/Pentecostal<\/p>\n

32% Modern Liberal<\/p>\n

29% Classical Liberal<\/p>\n

14% Reformed Evangelical<\/p>\n

14% Fundamentalist<\/p>\n

Wondering what you are? <\/p>\n
