Which American Catholic are you?

(I apologize for this complete non-post after several days of silence, but I'm taking a J-term class which meets three hours, five days a week, and consequently passing through the valley of the shadow of holding my tongue. And actually, I have been looking for a good Catholic meme like this one. Belief-O-Matic is fun too. All right, now, fall to.)

You scored as Liberal Catholic. You embrace the social justice mission of the Church, and the view of Catholic community as seen in the Acts of Apostles. You have a great love of the American democratic tradition, but tend to want to apply these traditions to the Church itself and the deposit of faith. You want a married and female clergy, decentralization of power, and an endless list of reforms. You feel that you are a true champion of the Second Vatican Council.

Like the Neo-Conservative Catholic, your views may be too determined by American culture, and you may uncritically accept many theories that may be harmful to yourself and society; instead you may need rediscover authentic Catholic thinking. You should emphasize the love of God, as your Creator and sustainer.

[Well, I don't like to think that I accept views uncritically, and tend to find my own most helpful to myself and society, but I think the insight that both liberal and conservative Catholics can be unhealthily affected by American society is quite fine. Well done, quiz.]

Twas a bit of a blunt instrument. I, too, am a liberal Catholic and would love to see a quiz by Theologienne ... this one seemed a tad too Cosmo, and ignored a lot of what makes us Catholic questions. Hang in there with your class: spring is coming

Agreed -- well done, quiz! Anything that gets us thinking about our own approach to the church is good, and this certainly does so.
