The data for the questionnaire on the creation of the angels are in!

The responses were as follows:

25% answered A

(The Church has not answered this question authoritatively)

25% answered B

(Before time as time was created for man)

50% answered D

(Both A and B)

The answer, the most despised in education (at least from the perspective of the student), was answer F (“other”, otherwise known as “none of the above”).

The question of when the angels were created has been answered authoritatively, including by a dogmatic degree of the Catholic Church. Our Eastertide contest, open to all our readers, continues with the following questions below. The first to correctly answer any of the three questions below wins.

We will explain, in our next newsletter the importance of this pronouncement and demonstrate that even if we fight for the most authentic liturgy that gives the greatest glory to God, we fight in vain without these doctrines!

1)      What Catholic Ecumenical Council first answered the question of the timing of the Creation of the angels?

2)      What Doctor of the Catholic Church wrote on this dogmatic announcement by the Church on the Creation of the angels? (Hint: He was born on the same date he died!)

3)      What Irish Monsignor wrote on this “dogmatic degree” in the 19th century? (Hint: His writing is most likely on your shelves if you have one of the family size heirloom Catholic Bibles.)

The contest winner will receive a three-pack prize including a scapular of Mount Carmel in honor of the three days Our Lord was in the tomb.
