World Theology Quiz (Mostly on Catholic teaching)

Hey, I created this quiz for myself so it could help me to study for an upcoming test during the fourth quarter of the school year (yay school is almost done!), I'm learning World Theology right now and note that I am not covering all of the world in this quiz, only the stuff on the study guide my teacher gave me.

If you are taking a theology class and want to test your knowledge, go ahead! Or if you are no longer in school and you used to take theology and want to see how much stuck in your brain then that's good too. Or if you don't take Theo. and just want to see if you know any of this material, then be my guest! Hope you like my quiz and let me know in the comments if this quiz needs some improving :)
