So am I the only one who finds humour in the fact that the author of this quizz’s last name is Israel?

Thanks for the feedback! Though I’m sure the Saints wouldn’t be too happy, I’ve changed those two answers to include correct variations without the word Saint or Blessed.

I’m with Will. I missed two because of the title thing. I may be a cradle Catholic with a minor in theology, but I don’t know which ones are saints or blessed, besides good ol’ St. Peter.

brutal. who knew that there was never a Pope Frank, or St. Ted? I ran out of options after that.

I got 4… And considering there have only been two popes in my lifetime, I’m considering that not bad. Thanks for allowing numerals instead of Roman Numbers (a weak spot in my education).

Why does one have to type “Blessed” for one of the answers and “St.” for another? I knew those Popes’ names.

Fun fact! Two of the letters in Blessed are BS.

I don’t think this was a very fair quiz. I typed in the names but it didn’t accept because I didn’t list them as “Saint” or “blessed”

I can only name the last 2. After that I just start typing Beatles. There was a Pope Ringo, right?
