Youth Day Attendees To Be Given Catechism Test (Zenit)
BERLIN, JUNE 7, 2005 (Zenit.org).- Youth requesting visas to visit Germany for World Youth Day should study their catechism.
More than a million young people are expected to attend the event in August, and the German government wants to make sure illegal immigrants, especially from the Balkans, aren't among them.
German embassies abroad have developed a test to sort out the true pilgrims from those seeking to take advantage of the fast-lane regulation visas.
The questionnaire asks, among other things, how and when Jesus died, the seven deadly sins and the sacraments. A passing score is 70.

Yes, the REAL Catholic faith and not the Jack Chick's tracts!

Re: Youth Day Attendees To Be Given Catechism Test (Zenit)
From a related article :
. . . On Monday, German tabloid Bild ran a fake Christianity questionnaire visa applicants in Albania will allegedly have to fill out before being allowed to enter Germany.
"When and how did Jesus die?" read one question. "What are the names of the sons of Adam and Eve?" was another, and finally: "How long did Jesus remain on earth after his resurrection before ascending to heaven?"
A foreign ministry spokeswoman told DW-WORLD that the German embassy in Albania's capital Tirana had merely suggested such a procedure and added that there were no plans to ask visa applicants to fill out such questionnaires. Besides, now that the questions (and Bild's answers) were out in the open, it wouldn't make sense to still ask them, she said. . . .
