…when saying “no, sorry, I’m going to pray.”

…when someone sees you spaced out and smiling and ask “what is it? hoping to be a naughty thing” and you go “Just having a conversation with God, you should know He can be funny too.”

You are on a trip to another city with friends and go into one of the old historical Churches. You friend wonders aloud “I wonder what type of Church is?” and you say without missing a beat “Well, it isn’t Catholic.” When asked why, you point to the cross at the front of the Church and the windows and say “There are no people. There aren’t any statutes, stations of the cross, no Crucifix, etc.”

Then you can’t help yourself and say: “That’s the problem with protestant Churches…they have no people.” :rotfl:

…then you have to go to Confession because you have a habit of teasing “our separated brethren.” 😊

:extrahappy::clapping::tiphat:WONDERFUL!!!
 
… when you’re visiting the Holy Land and the tour guide asks YOU to translate the ‘Latin’ over the door of a church and you respond with: I don’t know. I don’t read Greek.
(inspired by something that happened to my priest. 🙂 ).
 
When you know there is something more to it than just a beautiful voice and music as one of the “Three Tenors” sings the “Ave Maria.” :harp:

When you wish you could have seen Father Mulcahy on MASH offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass rather than the Ecumenical clap trap to which he was reduced. :highprayer::crossrc:

When you mention to someone new that you are Catholic and they reply by saying “Well I’m Christian,” and you rebut, “So am I!” :banghead:

Or the rebuttal could be what I heard Father Mulcahy say once to a non-Catholic, “Well, nobody’s perfect.” :rotfl:
 
You KNOW you’re Catholic when you hear Caramel and automatically think of Our Lady of Carmel.

You think it’s hilarious to see an anti-Catholic Protestant wearing blue because that’s the colour of Our Lady

“Eggs Benedict” makes you think of the Holy Father eating eggs.

You can think of a Saint you could pray to for any need/help.
 
When you’re a community corrections service provider and during the meeting to discuss new offender programming ideas, you push hard for programming to address the problem of pride because as a Catholic you know pride is the root of all sin, and since all crime is sin, pride is the root cause of crime. Get rid of offenders’ pride, and you get rid of crime. Problem solved! And then you have to go to Confession because of your pride for having the answer to rid the streets of crime. 😃
 
…When you don’t want to move back to your home town because your sister is the only one there who attends mass and is a cafeteria Catholic. :rolleyes:

you don’t put your wise men figures in the nativity set until the eve of Epiphany, and you have them, with their camel, “travel” from Christmas until then by moving them a little bit closer each night.

👍
Also - not putting Baby Jesus in the crib until Christmas Day =)
 
…you attend the first Extraordinary Form Mass in your life(as far as you can remember). I know, I went to one at St. Paul’s Church in October of last year, and it was great!
 
Someone says the names of the Trinity in a protestant bible study and you have to pretend your nose itches because you realize that this may not be the time to make the sign of the cross.

This just about makes my blood boil. I walk by jewelry stands in the mall and the have blinged out rosaries. I say a Hail Mary or if I’m feisty that day I walk up to someone wearing one and ask “hey what is that around ur neck?” 99.9% of the time they have no idea, so I tell them. I’m gonna start carrying little rosary cards and giving them out.

I’m sorry I veered off subject…continue with the OP 🙂

my neighbors son had one around his neck and I asked him if he was planning on praying the Rosary later.

You know your Catholic when you pray the Rosary in your dreams

When you hear someone say “oh my G…” and you say “blessed be His holy name”

when you watch Star Wars, and when they say, “May the Force be with you.” You fight the urge to say,“and also with you.”

Yes! I’m not the only one. 😃

You know you are a Roman Catholic when you read a “you know you are a Roman Catholic” thread for a laugh and by the end feel you need to go to confession.
 
your children wake up and want to “play” Mass

your 3yr old makes her dolls bless themselves and pray before she will “feed” them.

when you tell your 5 and 3 yr old you are calling Miss Mary and they argue with you that you are supposed to call her Mother Mary and can’t believe you can talk to her on the phone

you are grocery shopping and your girls are singing the “Holy, Holy, Holy” at the top of their lungs

you tell your 6 yr old you are going to the Parish and she asks “for confession or Mass?”
 
Non-Catholics ask you why you drink wine at church, and you respond, “It’s not wine, it’s the Precious Blood! It has been transubstantiated!”

You notice during Mass that a dry cleaning tag was mistakenly left on the priest’s alb, and you think, “Well, at least it’s in the right liturgical color.” For that matter, you know you’re a Roman Catholic when you know what an alb is.

When you’re driving into a parking garage, you start saying, “Hail Mary, full of grace, help me find a parking space.” (This twisted version of the Haily Mary is actually very effective. It has always worked for me.)

When you hear the term “Corpus Christi”, you immediately think of the holy day rather than the city in Texas. Therefore, it takes you a few moments to comprehend a person who says that they live in Corpus Christi.

Your forehead, chest, and shoulders start to itch whenever you hear the three persons of the Trinity.
 
When you look at your daughters and think sending them to a convent is the best answer to the upcoming “boyfriend stage” of life.
