Trivia Answer #6 - St. Peter Catholic Trivia Night

Which Gospel writer’s feast day is on October 18?

St. Luke the Evangelist is venerated each year on October 18.  Because of the reference in the Epistle to the Colossians to a person by the name of Luke as “the beloved physician,” (4:14) Saint Luke has been revered as the patron of physicians, surgeons and all associated with health care ministries.

Also, in light of the moving stories of the birth of Jesus in the first chapters of the Gospel of Luke, the name of Luke the Evangelist has also been associated, over the centuries, with several famous ancient icons picturing Mary the Mother of God and her Divine Son, as for example in the Basilica of Saint Mary Major in Rome. He thus has also become the patron of artists.

Does Vatican City have its own flag?

Yes, the papal flag consists of two equal vertical stripes of yellow and white (with the insignia of the papacy on the white stripe), a triple tiara over two crossed keys, one of gold and one of silver, tied with a red cord and two tassels. The divisions of the tiara represent the teaching, sanctifying and governing offices of the pope. The keys symbolize his role as the successor of St. Peter and the universal spiritual authority of the Holy Father. The papal flag is also a national flag as it represents the sovereign state of Vatican City.

What are the seven themes of Catholic Social Teaching?

The Church’s social teaching is a rich treasure of wisdom about building a just society

and living lives of holiness amidst the challenges of modern society. Modern Catholic

social teaching has been articulated through a tradition of papal, conciliar, and

episcopal documents. The depth and richness of this tradition can be understood best

through a direct reading of these documents. In these brief reflections, we highlight

several of the key themes that are at the heart of our Catholic social tradition.

Life and Dignity of the Human Person
Call to Family, Community, and Participation
Rights and Responsibilities
Option for the Poor and Vulnerable
The Dignity of Work and the Rights of Workers
Solidarity
Care for God’s Creation

What feast day is celebrated on December 12?

The Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe was raised to the status of a feast in all United States' dioceses in 1988. In 1910 she was declared the patroness of Latin America and in 1946 Pope Pius XII declared he to be the patroness of all the Americas.

On December 12, 1531, the Blessed Virgin appeared at Tepeyac, Mexico, to Juan Diego and requested that a church building be constructed at the site. Juan Diego visited Bishop Juan de Zumárraga the local bishop and carried with him a cloak upon which an image of the Blessed Virgin was inexplicable imprinted. In 1533 the church was build and in 1555 a feast was established to honor the church's patroness, Our Lady of Guadalupe.
