VeraMaria Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 when u are reading a book about the catechism that's supposed to be good because several priests were involved in writing it yet you keep saying "hmm...that doesn't sound right...hmmm...not true..." and you check amazon and sure enough many reviwers say that it's not orthodox

BurkeFan Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 (edited) ....when the Summa Theologiae / Summa Contra Gentiles is your favorite book... ....when you refer to your friends by the name of the saint whose feast day they were born on... ....you intentionally own more than three bibles, all different translations... ....every parting with friends ends in Latin (Dominus tecum, etc. etc., other stuff in Latin)... ....for any help in making better sense of the Gospels, you instantly turn to the Catena Aurea... ....you clink when you walk (from the medals)... ....you cross yourself whenever you're startled... ....you cheered during the prayer parts of X2 (on opening day)... ....your favorite show is Life is Worth Living / favorite network is EWTN... ....you're discerning for the priesthood and you say that you're dating the Church... Can't think of much else.... Edited June 28, 2004 by BurkeFan

let_go_let_God Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 ... You give a Confirmant that you are sponsoring a gift you "made" that completely fits the saint that they chose for their Confirmation saint ... You can say that you personally know all the seminarians in the diocese ... You plan on going to a Catholic college to help renew the Catholic movement there (as well as about 50 of your friends)
StColette Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 [quote]When you know how to say the Hail Mary in more than three languages...[/quote] lol French, Latin, Gaelic, & English

You know by heart which priests are orthodox and which priests are not... You refer to your bishop by his first name, at his request...
Norseman82 Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 [quote name='Raphael' date='Jun 27 2004, 10:52 PM'] When you have to correct your priest's homilies... When you have a stack of Catechisms to hand out to Mormons who come to your door... [/quote] 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)

qfnol31 Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 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.
