You know you are Catholic when you smile at the JW knocking at the door because you feel a bit argumentive that day.
 
You know you are Catholic when your grandfaters name is Joseph, your fathers name is Joseph, your brothers name is Joseph and your nephews name is Joseph. 😃
 
You know you are Roman Catholic when you see Jesus face in the spagetti sauce but would never try to sell it on ebay. :whistle:

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.

Brahahahahahahaha 👍
 
…you can perfectly recite “Transubstantiation,” three times fast.

…if you’ve heard of the Protoevangelium of James.

…you and your family members have a competition on Ash Wednesday, to see who can make his or her ashes last longest.

And you MUST be Catholic if your name happens to be Guisseppe Maroun Cristiano Wojciech-O’Shea (have you ever met a Pentecostal Italian-Lebanese-Spanish-Polish-Irish hybrid?).
 
…you have advocated for a boycott of Billy Joel since 1977.

When the local Mormons seem intent on getting your phone number on multiple occasions… AFTER you’ve told them you’re a Roman Catholic.

You’re a Catholic when the above has happened; when you said “No, thank-you,” they told you, “But it’s REALLY important that you know Jesus!”

(P.S. I have seriously heard this from an Adventist elder, inviting me to have a “baptism.”)
 
You actually look forward to telling someone else the most despicable things about yourself. 🙂

WAY tooooo funny…
 
…someone runs over my foot with the shopping cart in the supermarket and I apologize to them (Catholic guilt).
 
A non-Catholic family member says:"…when I went to communion this morning at church…" and you feel sad for her that she didn’t get to receive the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus.
 
You know you are a Roman Catholic when …

You currently have a folded palm frond in the form of a cross tucked behind a framed picture of a saint somewhere in the hallway. It is there from years ago because you forgot to “turn it back in” to the church so it could be made into ashes and now you’re too embarrassed to donate one so old.

You know HOW to fold a palm frond into the form of a cross.

You go to a a potluck at your church and there is one table dedicated to main/side dishes, one table dedicated to desserts, TWO tables dedicated to wine and two large urns of coffee.

You coordinate what you wear on Sunday to the priest’s vestments.

You know why in some Catholic churches you genuflect before entering a pew and at other times you give a “respectful bow”.

Holy water has created a “water stain” on your favorite silk blouse.

You don’t have to wear name tags in church.

Applauding in church feels really, really odd.
 
When, at the end of the Pledge of Allegiance, you say “Good morning sister” in your head (can’t help it) and sometimes say “g” before you stop yourself.

I’ve loved this thread. I’ve laughed a lot, and have seen myself in many of them. I’ve even gotten a couple of ideas here.

But this one is the one I relate to the most. Sometimes when non-Catholic friends talk about communion, I actually find it difficult to listen.
 
you have a picture of the pope hanging next to your family portraits.
