…when I go to a Christian store in US …and can´t find a rosary:shrug:
 
when you see someone in public wearing a rosary, and you wonder if they actually pray it or if it’s just for ‘swag’

You feel hurt and offended when you read some of the tweets sent to Pope Benedict and start praying for him and the people who are saying such nasty things to him… 😦

I am not Catholic and the hateful things that were said about him were evil …and no i don’t think that is too strong a word.
 
When you are confident that your faith is the clearest reflection of God’s teaching …

… but admit to yourself that many non-Catholics do things you should be doing much better.
 
When someone mentions the name “Jesus” … and you reflexively bow your head quickly.

Amen.

I haven’t been Catholic long, but already a lot of this thread speaks to me. 🙂 It’s a lovely feeling!
Mine aren’t as good as all the rest but anyway…

You know you’re a Catholic when…

…You can’t get your head round why all Christians don’t love Mother Mary like us.
…You love the Chuch so much you think you’d be martyred for it… then realise you’re actually a coward. 😛
…You criticize everyone for being too liberal.
…You criticize everyone for not having a leader like the Pope.
…You imagine what it would be like if the whole world was Catholic.
…You get really annoyed at the thought of Henry VIII and his converting the country. (English Catholics.)
…You wish you knew Latin. (Us none Latin speakers.)
…You want Preists, the Pope etc… to wear all the nice regalia. Biretta, long cassock, Papal Tiara, cope etc… 👍
…You feel like shouting ‘Viva il Papa’ whenever you see the Pope on the TV etc…
 
Oh… and if you take insults to heart that are against the Holy Father or our Local Father, as if they were levelled against our actual biological father. 😃
 
…you watch the clock when taking breakfast on Sunday morning before setting off for church.

(who can tell me the significance of that?)

LOL - I don’t eat breakfast but I so do that to make sure I don’t accidentally drink my coffee too late. 👍

There is still a little bit of a fast (1 hour before communion) regarding food.

Have actually gone last at times to make sure. Lol.
 
… you’ve ever had someone say to you" “HOW many kids in your family?!!” (Your birth family OR the children of your marriage."

… at least once per year someone in an annoyed or whiny tone of voice suddenly out of the blue squints at you and says … "WHY do you Catholics …"

And after you give the simple straightforward answer, you can tell from the surprised look on their face that they’d never had thought of THAT answer without you. 😉
 
:crossrc:you bless yourself with the sign of the cross at the beginning of prayers … even at table grace or with other Christians in the group. :crossrc:
 
You know you’re a Roman Catholic when you can find nothing in this world that seems worthy of pulling you away from the Eucharist and your faith.
 
When you’re at a ball game and as soon as you finish the Pledge of Allegiance, you immediately think (or sometimes say) “Good morning sister.”

When you’re an English speaker at a Spanish Mass and you’re trying to follow the responses and prayers the best you can, but when they get to the “Our Father”, you can’t do it other than in Latin, no matter how hard you try to do it in Spanish.
 
You know you’re an OLD Catholic when you see an SSPX priest and automatically assume he’s a Jesuit. (You see, the SSPX priests wear long cassocks with a thousand buttons and that sash like Jesuits used to wear, and perhaps some still do.)

Thought it was kind of cool when Fr Mitch wore his traditional Jesuit habit on EWTN Live when he had on a couple of the MFVA priests. Cassocks look SHARP! 😃
