Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What female saint is known as the 'little flower' and was canonized in 1925 by Pope Pius XI?

Answer: St. Therese of Lisieux

This cloistered Carmelite nun died at the young age of 24 from tuberculosis. She is best known for her autobiography, 'The Story of a Soul.'
2. According to the Catholic tradition, what is the name of the thief who was crucified alongside Christ?

Answer: St. Dismas

Dismas was the 'good' thief who was crucified with Jesus at Calvary. He accepted his punishment and understood that Christ was an innocent man. Jesus promised that he would 'see him in Paradise.' The other thief was named Gestas, and is not a saint.
3. In which country was St. Thomas the Apostle martyred, according to tradition?

Answer: India

Thomas, one of the original Twelve Apostles, spread the Gospel to India, where he was martyred in Mylapore.
4. Who founded the Jesuits?

Answer: St. Ignatius Loyola

Ignatius founded the Jesuits (the Society of Jesus) in 1534 and is also known for having authored the 'Spiritual Exercises.' Francis Xavier was a Jesuit who carried the faith to Asia. Robert Bellarmine was a member of the College of Cardinals.
5. Which of the Twelve Apostles is not recognized as a saint?

Answer: Judas

His betrayal of Christ disqualified him from sainthood. Funny how that works, isn't it?
6. Who succeeded St. Peter as Pope?

Answer: St. Linus

Linus ascended the papal throne in A.D. 67, upon the martyrdom of St. Peter three years prior.
7. Who is the patron saint of the Church?

Answer: St. Joseph

Joseph, husband of the Blessed Virgin, was made Patron of the Universal Church by Pope Pius IX in 1870.
8. Which archangel is the patron saint of the blind?

Answer: St. Raphael

Raphael is mentioned in the book of Tobias. This is not included in Protestant Bibles, so some of you may not know that there was a third archangel mentioned in the scriptures.
9. True or False: only those born into the Christian faith qualify for sainthood.

Answer: False

Those who have converted are equally qualified, as long as they meet all the other criteria that are required by the Church.
10. Which saint is considered to be the first Christian martyr?

Answer: St. Stephen

Stephen was stoned to death for his beliefs. Ironically, St. Paul oversaw the stoning prior to his conversion along the road to Damascus. The story is related in the Acts of the Apostles.
