Good quiz and well-researched. One quibble with one of your comments. Although you are absolutely right to note that Vatican 2 did not abolish the Latin Mass, it only permitted Mass to be said in the vernacular as an alternative, it is not the traditional (tridentine rite) Latin Mass that is said now in Catholic churches.
The Tridentine Mass is actually precisely the form of the Mass that many churches are saying. "Traditional Latin Mass" is most certainly the name used to describe Mass that is celebrated entirely in Latin, ad orientem, without traces of the Novus Ordo Mass.
I am aware that some priests celebrate the tridentine rite but unless I am mistaken - with the occasional exception - that is not sanctioned by the church. The approved Latin Mass is the "new" version written after Vatican 2 which, of course is the one translated into hundreds of other languages for the celebration in the vernacular.
Ex cathedra literally means "from the seat". It refers to when the Pope makes a proclamation or other clarification in terms of Catholic dogma. This doesn't happen as often as one might think. I want to say the last ex cathedra statement was about the Assumption in the mid-20th century.
The Sacraments are efficacious signs of God's grace given to us which were instituted by Jesus. This includes things like getting baptized, receiving the Eucharist, or being ordained as a priest. There are 7 Sacraments.
The phrase "communion with Rome" is generally lingo that refers to whether a sect of Christianity recognizes the authority of the pope.
The question about the Latin Mass is a little nuanced. The Second Vatican Council made changes to have Mass said in the vernacular of the region rather than in Latin, which was a big change. However, some religious orders or rites were permitted to continue saying the old Mass in Latin. Other exceptions exist and have been allowed too.
Also if the 2nd council got rid of Latin mass, ys it back?
Nice quiz!
