When you're watching Star Wars and have a strong inclination to say "and also with you" when they say "May the force be with you"

[quote name='Lounge Daddy' date='Jun 28 2004, 11:04 AM'] ...you have a name for your Angel (hey, your Angel really is a life long companion and friend)
:cool: [/quote]
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!"

...you know multiple melodies for Tantum Ergo.

...you greet a friend with "Happy Feast Day!" because today is the feast
of the saint whose name he took at his Confirmation

....your gauge your movie pix based on their ratings: A-I, A-II, A-III,
A-IV and O.

...when problems at work (or in life in general) get out of hand, you go
looking for a good novena.

...you have more pictures of saints than of relatives on your walls.

...on a Friday night, you stay up with your friends until 1.30 am,
watching EWTN. (extra points if it's the live stream on the computer!)

...your roommate tells you that you were talking about the pope in your
sleep

...you stop and bless yourself before going to a party.

...when getting lost while driving, you don't get mad, you say, "well,
at least we got to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet."

lol, those were good chris, but you forgot a few:

...When the entire group gets excited about the thought of cornering a priest in an airport for confession

...When you get shirts that have JMJ on the front...and you know what it means

...When Cardinal Ratzinger is your hero

...When your jealous of your friend because he has a 3 inch crucifix with a miraculous medal imbedded in the cross behind Jesus' head

...When you decide that the best way to procrastinate studying for exams is to go visit a priest.

I think that covers us ;)

It at least used to be. I saw it in SLU's yearbooks from the 50s and such when I was looking stuff up regarding the K of C on campus.

I dunno, but we might have a Chi Rho...
