You know you’re Catholic when…
Posted by writeforgod on Feb 25th, 2009
- On Ash Wednesday, the cashier at the supermarket says, “Um, do you know your face is dirty?”
- You have at least one relative who dropped out of the seminary.
- You go outside just before 3 p.m. on Good Friday to wait for the dark clouds.
- At a Baptism you attended, a priest reminded the parents that the baby’s name wasn’t exactly in the canon of saints.
- You will always think of St. Bernadette as looking like Jennifer Jones.
- You remember the announcement from the sisters in parochial school that it was time to switch from dark uniform socks to white ones for spring.
- You wore a beanie with that uniform when the Bishop visited your school.
- You consider the percentage of Catholics who have actually had all seven Sacraments and how you’ll probably only ever have five or six.
- Eating with friends at McDonald’s was out on Fridays until they introduced the Filet-o-Fish.
- The beauty of the Easter Vigil and Midnight Mass makes you so glad you’re a member of the Church founded by Jesus and built upon Peter.
