When the Jehovah's Witnesses come to your door, you try to convert them, and they walk away (actually happened to me)

When you go to Kingdom Halls to try to convert the Jehovah's Witnesses to Catholicism

When the tie you wear matches the vestment color of the day (I actually used to do that)

When you know who's feast day it is.

When you know all your friend's feast days.

When you know who's feast day is your birthday. (Alphonsus Ligouri!)

When you know all the doctors of the Church.

When you can quote Canon Law off the top of your head. (Read 1250 and say what you think. :) )

When you and your friend play a game trying to see how many Saints you can name and you go on for over a half hour.

When you can start quoting Psalms from Liturgy of the Hours.

The Church has actually spoken against this practice. In the 2001 document [i]Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy[/i] issued by the Vatican Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments, the Congregation warned against deviations from legitimate devotion to the holy angels:

“The practice of assigning names to the holy angels should be discouraged except in the cases of Gabriel, Raphael and Michael whose names are contained in Holy Scripture” (n. 217).

... when you know the names of more than 5 cardinals.

... when the first thing you do after you get a new car is have it blessed.

... when you get into a debate with your friends on whether or not leftovers need to be blessed.

When you start making comments to people based on sacramentals (sp?)
i.e. "What beautiful scapular brown hair you have!" or "What pretty Mary Blue eyes you have!"
