What an odd (and strangely Catholic) quiz...
9/10, all except for the random sports question at the end.

Honestly, it was pretty easy. I would have liked to seen some more saints who aren't quite so present in pop culture. Everyone knows Nicholas, Valentine, Patrick, Joan of Arc, and the Archangels 
This quiz needed a question on the Viking Saint, St. Olaf.
YES. THERE REALLY IS A SAINT OLAF. AND HE REALLY WAS A VIKING.

Well somehow I managed to 8/10 correct but then again was pretty easy to figure out. I guess they had to make it like this so everyone would have a fighting chance at getting a decent score. Still, I'm not exactly complaining about my score.
9/10, not too shabby if I do say so myself.
I should've known the doctors one though, d'oh well.

Maybe if they had said National Football League, or even National Football Conference, or probably used the phrase American Football it would have been easier for you.octafish said:
Hmm. Apparently I am currently ranked 36th out of 1157 total entries.
That is by far the best I have ever done on one of these quizzes
To be fair, while I already knew most of them, I did find that to be some pretty easy multiple choice: a couple of them only had one reasonable answer.

These saintly questions were far too easy. Here are a few tougher ones.
Which saint converted to Christianity from Manicheanism?
Which Italian saint would eventually become Archbishop of Canterbury in England?
Which saint's family locked him in the family tower when he declared that he wanted to be a Dominican friar instead of a Benedictine monk?
Which saint's holiday was the date for the Battle of Agincourt in Shakespeare's Henry V?
Which saint sacrificed himself to save a Jew in the Nazi concentration camps?

10/10! Who says theological college teaches you nothing?
I aced it in what I thought was a quick time and I still came only 178th. Boo hiss! I call shenanigans.

I was expecting obscure catholic lore. I'm not sure why I didn't expect pop culture-y type questions. Silly me.
Either way 100%! Finally, being raised catholic pays off! Well, that and enjoying fish frys before hipsters ruined them.
