You know your a Catholic when you go to a community college and want to bring up Catholicism in a debate class.

Or when you want to explain that the Catholic Church is the way to go when in a political science class.

Or why learning math explains the beauty of God’s creation in a math class.

or why Reading the Douay Rheims bible is the best literature in an English class.

Or why science is God’s wisdom and creativity in a science class.

A lot more but basically when you have to think about why something in every subject is centered around God
 
When leaving your home to start your day. You grab your keys, cell phone, wallet and rosary before heading out the door:D
 
When you’re home sick with the influenza, offering up your icky feelings, and hoping that you’re doing someone some good out there…

Brave soul you are! I mean, talking positively about religion in any academia institution, if it’s secular, is walking the plank. One most likely will be shunned and maligned by fellow classmates and even the instructor. And aren’t these the same people that nod their head positively at anti-bullying campaigns? Go figure.

This isn’t so much a "you know you’re a Catholic when … " but when the world disappoints to a degree that my heart feels a bit heavy, for whatever reason, visiting CAF always helps me uplift my soul.
 
…you know your Protestant, Buddhist and Moslem co-workers belong to false religions without thinking they’re necessarily going to hell.
 
You almost used the holy water to rinse the deer you’re gutting. (true story.)
 
When saying the Hail Mary as a child, you uttered the words “…and blessed is your Fruit-Of-The-Loom, Jesus.”
 
Don’t know if this has been said already:

…in elementary school your teacher had to explain to you (or the class if you went to Catholic school) why you didn’t have to do the Sign of the Cross after the Pledge of Allegiance.
 
…when you see a medium on a talk show you’re watching, and your reaction is “St. Michael the Archangel defend us in battle…”

… you have fond memories of “playing mass” and using vanilla wafers for hosts

I always liked using those round Pillsbury cookies with the holiday pictures on them. And my parents had two little wooden benches that made the perfect pews for my stuffed animals. 😃

… you give your friend a tour of St. Patrick’s Cathedral and can describe the lives of the majority of the saints represented without looking at the informational signs.

…you play “Can You Name That Saint?” whenever you pass old churches with all those saint statues around the doors.

…you laugh when you see a Catholic wedding on one of those TLC wedding shows and the non-Catholic guests complain about all the sitting, standing, kneeling.

…when you visited France you were extremely grateful when your non-religious host dad offered to take you to Mass on Sunday without you ever asking. 🙂

Amen:thumbsup:
 
… on recess duty at the school where you work, and you hear the 12 o’clock bells coming from the Catholic Church next door … you immediately begin praying the Angelus.

In my case, the Bishonen Patriarch and the Bishonen Cardinal. 😃
 
You get put out seeing a rosary lucky charm hanging from a car rear view mirror.
 
I have found my self genuflecting before sitting down at the movies and put my hand out thinking there holy water there to bless my self
 
… you either do your homework on Saturday or save it for Monday if it’s a long weekend
… you choose what movies to watch in an ABC Family animated Disney movie marathon based off what doesn’t conflict with Mass
… you don’t understand why your theatre teacher would call weddings and funerals performances
… you don’t understand why people want weddings in exotic locations. Okay, it’s understandable if there’s a famous church there, but still :rolleyes:
