I'll take Catholic Trivia for $1000, Alex!

Last night, DH, DD's godmother, and I met with the Deacon to prepare for DD's Baptism.  The Deacon quizzed us on all kinds of "Catholic trivia."  The godmother and I didn't do well, despite having been raised Catholic and attending church weekly.  DD's godmother is a godmother for another friend's child and never had to go through anything like this for that Baptism.  What are your experiences?

    DH isn't Catholic, but he is the godfather of a little boy that was baptized Catholic.  There were no issues with him being the godfather, and he never had to meet with anyone or have "Catholic trivia"!

    Wow, we (me and dh) just had to sit through a 1/2 hour class refreshing us on what the meaning of baptism is.  And I complained about that!  There was just one other couple and the only question they asked us was "what are some symbols of baptism?"  After about 30 seconds of silence I volunteered oil as a symbol and that was enough for them.  Sounds like a strict deacon, I'm sure I would have been terrible.

    Thanks for the reminder! I just called the church where we want to baptize Quinn... Here's hoping I don't get quizzed. I haven't attended church regularly since I was in high school!

    We have yet to begin the baptism process, but this makes me nervous! We are slacker Catholics (much to my parents' dismay). I am also in Baltimore - do you mind sharing which church this was at? (We are in Towson and deciding between IHM and St. Pius).

    LOL, the Deacon probably would have questioned if I was even Catholic, I'm horrible at remember all that stuff!  DH and I had to go to a baptism class at the Church.  Basically just a refresher on the sacrament of baptism.  No question and answer period!  The weirdest thing said was "make sure you pick a Christian name for the child".........  The godparents didn't have to go to the class.
