Wow, can't begin to say how impressed I am. I was reading your memo from the devil and kept thinking surely I'm close to the end only to find out I wasn't even half way through! Very well written. Screwtape Letters vibes for sure. You have an incredible gift.

We've got some brilliant minds on this board. Hard not to be envious.

I let my wife and 10 yo take it last night. Wife aced it except for #14.

10 yo got 26/40 but was skeptical of counting the two "catholic" questions against him (14, 31). He also crossed out "angel" in #18 and put "God."

Ha...Well, for us Catholics, the books of Judith and Maccabees have been sacred scripture since 382 AD, at the Council of Rome!

My wife happened to know the Judas Maccabees since she is reading the Jewish War by Josephus right now.

The book of Maccabees is the only OT reference to the rededication of the Temple, aka Hannukah. It isn't even the Jew's bible. It is referenced in the NT in John 10:22....
