Vatican II A. The beginning. B. The beginning of the end. Put together by Bob Brueggemeyer, advertising manager of the Catholic Telegraph, the Cincinnati archdiocesan weekly, the test offers a list of activities and institutions with the invitation to cirlce one of two descriptions (A or B). Giving Witness A. Burning draft files. B. Burning draft dodgers. Kiss of Peace A. See how we love one another. B. Germ-spreading, hypocritical farce. Whether the test-taker circles A or B determines whether he or she is “liberal” or “conservative.” But the kicker is that Brueggemeyer doesn’t say which is which; the test-taker has to figure that out. Christian Education A. Baltimore catechism. B. Anything that takes place in a certain building. Parish unity A. Situation whereby one man makes all the decisions. (Unity means one, doesn’t it?) B. Democracy in action.
