    Catholic bishops are allowed seven of them, priests five, and ordinary people one; what are they?

    It is the Sacraments or Holy Mysteries that they may administer I would say Richard.

    Bishops
        Holy Orders
        Confirmation

    Priests
        Marriage
        Anointing of the Sick
        Confession
        Communion

    Laymen
        Baptism

    Well, as an Anglican I don’t share the assumptions of the first question: Article XXV of the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion- the historical statement of doctrines of the Anglican church- distinguishes between the two “Sacraments ordained of Christ our Lord in the Gospel” [Baptism and the Eucharist] and those “Commonly called Sacraments but not to be counted for Sacraments of the Gospel”: Confession and absolution, Holy Matrimony, Confirmation, Ordination to Holy Orders and the Anointing of the Sick.
    As for Novonikolayevsk, I’m beat. I can tell that it is in a Russian speaking area- New Nicholas- but not where.

    FWIW Grant Michael McKenna as an Orthodox neither do I exactly, since we have Chrismation rather than confirmation which is administered by a priest using holy oil blessed by a bishop and not all priests are licensed to give absolution – it requires a certain maturity and seniority.

    But the number seven gave the game away – there being seven holy mysteries or sacraments of the Church despite what protestants might say to the contrary 🙂

    Not too sure when the the weekly quiz ends but I am going to be out for most of the day:
    Q:Catholic bishops are allowed seven of them, priests five, and ordinary people one; what are they?
    A: Crosses on a tomb.
    Found the question on a trivia questions site. I do not seek a reward on the basis that I think one needs to know the answer before the putting the question i.e. being original.

    That said, tomorrow, I will be trying a different task from the same site:http://www.businessballs.com/businessballspuzzlesanswers.htm

    I’ll give you Taupo for your volcano Paranormal

    “General Average” is a nautical term whereby when some of a ships cargo is lost – all of those who had cargo on the ship share the financial burden for the portion which is lost.

    So I assume the Rena grounding
