This quiz has been prepared by various individuals who share the Knights of Columbus Council 3051’s concern for the importance of children receiving an authentic Catholic education at a time when the teaching and values of the Catholic Church that are reflected in this quiz are facing unprecedented challenges with unforeseen consequences for those who hold them. Therefore, we believe the primary value of this quiz is a careful reading of the questions which, with the exception of the few that ask for the identification of biblical figures, do contain materials that refer to dogmas and values of the Church and/or how Catholics holding these values have impacted history or have been impacted by it.
