	I have a feeling that 90% of the comments are going to be similar to the two above. Penance - Reconciliation - Confession Last Rights - Anointing of the Sick - Administration to the sick - Unction of the Sick - Extreme Unction

	I like that "anointing of the sick" comes up for "extreme unction"

	dtownstomp:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 21:18 GMT	17 points
	Holy Orders is not just priesthood, it's bishops, priests, and deacons.

	bananaman40:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 21:19 GMT	7 points
	+1 to shawnoc, lots of alternate names for this one. And if these are in order, typically First Reconciliation comes before First Communion.

	Nice quiz, but the "Holy Orders" definitely needs to have "Ordination" as an alternate answer (see the Wikipedia article on Sacrament, which lists them as synonymous; I agree that "Priesthood" isn't really the same thing). And yes, thanks for acknowledging "extreme unction" as an alternate for anointing.

	Extreme unction, what's your function? Hooking up prayers and priests and patients.

	5/7, Catholic high school hath failed me.

	iceman1731:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 22:02 GMT	-2 points
	This was definatley not a quiz for an Agnostic

	Sborcletron3000:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 22:06 GMT	2 points
	Holy Orders also refers to Nuns, Brothers and Deacons, none of which are priests.

	y2jdilemma:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 22:21 GMT	9 points
	Add me to the list for Last Rites as an alternate answer. A sign of how good a Catholic I am...I almost forgot Reconciliation. Heh. Been a while...

	mjenks:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 22:28 GMT	2 points
	Reconciliation was the last one I got, too. I was wracking my brains for it when I said to myself "If I don't get these, I'm going to have to go to confession." facepalm

	Wes_Mantooth:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 22:38 GMT	2 points
	I knew "Anointing of the Sick" as "Last Rites." I thought that was the official name.

	thelineup:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 22:38 GMT	-4 points
	I don't know how I almost missed marriage. All those years of CCD classes clearly did nothing to help.

	capncokenojoke:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 23:06 GMT	3 points
	its about time all the money i put into catholic schooling helped me

	Chiaprofessor:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 23:58 GMT	3 points
	Yes, many people know 'anointing of the sick' as 'last rites'. When I was having MAJOR surgery 20 years ago, my grandmother's priest wanted to perform this sacrament and my mother and grandmother balked because they knew it primarily in its use for the dead or dying.

	@Jal Dorak, there are 7 sacraments but you say "5/5".

	rockgolf:	Sep 15th, 2009 at 00:22 GMT	2 points
	@Eagle: I think that's Jal's Game Rating for this quiz.

	church actually shys away from the term Extreme Unction..... I was surprised when it was accepted. Score: 7/7 Rating: 5/5 (cause I so rarely hit the 100% mark)

	bostoncane:	Sep 15th, 2009 at 02:26 GMT	2 points
	I thought the official name was now Sacrament of the Sick, but that doesn't work. Oh, and nuns don't receive Holy Orders, they take vows.

	awesomegerbzy:	Sep 15th, 2009 at 02:48 GMT	4 points
	It took me at least thirty seconds before I realized that "anointing" has only one "n" in it.

	Bikinikill:	Sep 15th, 2009 at 03:26 GMT	1 point
	I think that 'religious orders' should be an alternate, and also 'last rites' for the last one.

	jfmk:	Sep 15th, 2009 at 03:54 GMT	1 point
	There is waaaaaaay too much time available for this quiz. And the official name for marriage is the sacrament of Matrimony.

	How about a quiz for the two sacraments of the Lutheran Church?...

	Last rights is incorrect. Since Vatican II it is now known as anointing of the sick. It is not just meant for cases where death is imminent.

	sarah2:	Sep 15th, 2009 at 06:48 GMT	4 points
	Confession comes before communion. It's a requirement.

	rockhopperlad:	Sep 15th, 2009 at 06:51 GMT	-2 points
	Am I the first Anglican to mention that we do all these things, too? And our priests do everything theirs do, but backwards and in high heels! ;) "Unction" should count for "anointing of the sick".

	Anyone else try divorce after marriage?

	andrew430:	Sep 15th, 2009 at 08:22 GMT	2 points
	Last Rites and Viaticum are not the same thing as Anointing of the Sick/Extreme Unction. Last Rites encompasses the three sacraments of Reconciliation, the Eucharist (Viaticum), and Anointing of the Sick given to those who are approaching death. (see http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04660c.htm or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anointing_of_the_Sick_(Catholic_Church) )

	Unless I become I priest, I'll never be able to collect all seven, which has always irked me.

	awesomegerbzy: Anointing actually has 3 "n"s, but we got your point.

	alexy:	Sep 15th, 2009 at 21:35 GMT	0 points
	As a former Catholic, I naturally got 7/7.

	mrgenova:	Sep 15th, 2009 at 23:47 GMT	6 points
	Can't believe I actually tried "exorcism"; clearly I was running out of ideas.

	puzzlemantmax:	Sep 16th, 2009 at 20:39 GMT	0 points
	Yay! I got all of them.

	Blue_Iguana:	Sep 18th, 2009 at 05:29 GMT	1 point
	@mrgenoa did you try incorcism? if not, then i must have even less ideas.

	The usual order for listing the sacraments starts with Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Eucharist because they are the three sacraments of initiation and are received in that order, at one time, when an adult comes into the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil. The common practice for most people raised as Catholics from childhood is receive them in the order of Baptism (as an infant), Reconciliation, Holy Eucharist (around age 7 or 8), and Confirmation(as a teenager).
