Find out which Church Father you identify with the most! http://www.fathersofthechurch.com/quiz/I am Origen! (Actually, the more I read, the more I discover I AM much more of an Alexandrian than I originally thought!) You�re Origen!
You do nothing by half-measures. If you�re going to read the Bible, you want to read it in the original languages. If you�re going to teach, you�re going to reach as many souls as possible, through a proliferation of lectures and books. If you�re a guy and you�re going to fight for purity � well, you�d better hide the kitchen shears. Gordo

I'm Justin Martyr. I did this quiz a long time ago and I ended up being Justin. Maybe I should just study Justin and write a thesis called "Justin for the Modern Church". Hmm... should we come up with a series of books like that? :p

Saint Jerome. Show me a Bible to translate! I can go from... British English to American English! Clearly, there was no language question associated with the assessment.

You�re St. Justin Martyr!
You have a positive and hopeful attitude toward the world. You think that nature, history, and even the pagan philosophers were often guided by God in preparation for the Advent of the Christ. You find �seeds of the Word� in unexpected places. You�re patient and willing to explain the faith to unbelievers.

You are St. Melito of Sardis!
You have a great love of history and liturgy. You�re attached to the traditions of the ancients, yet you recognize that the old world � great as it was � is passing away. You are loyal to the customs of your family, though you do not hesitate to call family members to account for their sins.

Sieglinde Jean Danielou had a very good treatment of his life and works. It is entitled simply Origen. I believe it was published by Sheed and Ward. Cheers! Gordo PS: According to Christoph Schornborn's research, the notion of Origen castrating himself to become a "eunuch for the kingdom" is historically false. Quite a relief for those of us who are supposedly his "type"!

How true! How true! It was right on the money.

Stephanos I Yes, it seems to really fit me, as well. I am the only one of my siblings who is still Byzantine Catholic . . . I am the only one who has kept and uses the family recipes for Easter and Christmas Eve . . . I would LOVE to have a Slavonic Liturgy here . . . ah, and now I'm getting melancholy that these things do not last. Dave

Im wondering how many fathers are possible with this quizz. It seems we wouldnt all resemble such a narrow spectrum unless more than me would attack the heretic with a hammer before starting a dialogue.

St. Melito here too!! Maybe a few of the "Mels" could share answers to see how different our answers were, but still came of with the same Father.

Now lets do a psychoanalysis of ourselves and find out
why.
