I'm pretty sure the Buffistas are going to average 100% on that quiz, if not higher.
Or maybe you could just be Buffy, he'll see your amazing heart, and he'll fall in love with you.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

The quiz loaded initially, but would hang for several tries after I answered the question. After hitting "try again" 3 or 4 time,it moved on to the next question. Then I got an error message that said "We are experiencing technical difficulties and are working to resolve them. Please try again soon." Boo! I was kicking ass!

I was raised in a pretty devout Catholic house and went to a school that was nominally public, but used to be run by our church and still had nuns and religious classes, and I don't ever recall learning about the transubstantiation until I went to an Anglican university. (My mother was terrified they were going to convert me, BTW. They did, to atheism.)

Yeah, if you're a Bible-oriented Protestant, and not a Lutheran, you could do a lot of studying before you actually got to Martin Luther.
A question from someone who has only gone to Catholic schools...do they not teach this sort of stuff in history class?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The assistant is in today!
She was all "Oh, I got your emails." And I was all "Oh, can we do this some other way?" And also, I was, like 12.
But still, maybe something will be smoothed out, and I should have pain meds by the end of the day. Just have to get through the bulk of this one.
Without killing my new computer.

Kristen, I learned about it in history class.

I didn't realize that Catholics really thought that it was body and blood until I watched Tales of the City.

I was wondering the same thing. As a Jewish atheist, I have no religious reason to know who he is, but the Reformation was a big part of European history class.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Not that I remember, but who knows.

I got a quick gloss in high school history class, but much more in-depth doing reading on my own.
I don't remember ever not knowing about transubstantiation. Not that I ever understood it, then or now, but the not understanding was always part of it for me. It's a capital-M Mystery. Knowing the bare facts of the doctrine, though--that was always there.
