You have rosary or a scapular hanging from your rear view mirror. You also have a crucifix or an image of the Holy Family or the Sacred Heart or the BVM, or the Child Jesus on your dashboard.
 
Your friend is wearing a dog tag with a skull on it, and you assume it is demonic. You then consider wearing your St. Michael dog tag to counteract it, but ask him what it is first. He tells you its Pirates of the Caribbean and you realize that you have been subconsciously fingering the chain your St. Michael dog tag is hanging on. This is when you know you are Roman Catholic. 👍
 
You’d know you were Anglican if you respond “And with thy spirit”.

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.”

You go to the local hospital where there is a witch doctor (I kid you not) and have your hand on your rosary, scapula and various devotional medals etc to ward off the devil:D

Oh how much I needed a laugh this week!! Thanks for this thread!!

You know you are a Roman Catholic when:

when you are the only one making the sign of the cross in the middle of the class before you start an exam and you also do the sign of the cross on the exam paper :signofcross:

None of my Lutheran in-laws think it’s odd when a running back catches a “Hail Mary” pass, runs the ball for a touchdown, and then makes the Sign of the Cross in the end zone!🙂

You say a prayer (and you really mean it) for the souls of those who think Catholics are deluded and lacking in reality --because you know those poor people are the ones who are really deluded and ‘know not what they are doing’. May God bring them all to faith and understanding through His Divine Son and Lord and His Holy Catholic Church.

You know your a Catholic when you usually disagree with someone in this forum but realize that you are brothers/sisters in Christ and will eventually laugh about all of this in Heaven together. 😃

Or just turn it into a prayer by muttering O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin.👍

you are planning to move closer to the church to make daily mass easier to manage.

(i met someone who threw a miraculous medal over the fence of the house next door and prayed. It worked.)

you hide a miraculous medal in a new age shop and it closes down.

thats awesome!!!
 
The first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word “hail” in any other use besides the whether phenomenom is the prayer.
 
… when you do a software update just so you can watch Lourdes TV / hear Radio Maria etc.
 
… you pass by a street and hear kids practicing “Father, forgive me for I have sinned…” and you feel extremely happy 😃
 
When in the midst of chaos you can remain calm because you have God in your life. 🙂
