Which Church Father Are You?

I saw that Jim West (Tertullian) and Judy Redman (Melito of Sardis) tried this out and a bunch of others too. I like my results:

You’re St. Jerome!

You’re a passionate Christian, fiercely devoted to Jesus Christ and his Church. You are willing to labor long hours in the Lord’s vineyard, and you have little patience with those who are less willing or able to work as you do. Your passions often carry you into temptation zones of wrath, lust, and pride.

Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers!

That’s quite a combination of temptations! At least I’m pretty darn good with languages. As it happens, Michael L. Westmoreland-White turns out to be Jerome as well. Must be some proto-baptist spirit in Jerome. Michael also points out that there are no “church mothers” in the quiz which is a complaint that I have too. But seeing as Jerome was interested in women and their capabilities (we won’t go too far into that one), perhaps that’s as good as we can get in this quiz.

    I’m apparently Justin Martyr.

    Here’s the quote: “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.”

    Eh…
