10 Signs You Are a Normal Catholic
- You are nice enough to save the pews in the front of church for the latecomers. (You also save the comfy middle part of the pew for others).
- You can follow every prayer in Mass, regardless of what language it is in.
- You have given up something sweet for Lent...at least a dozen times before.
- You dress a lot nicer when you know you might see the Bishop.
- You have genuflected (or started to) in a movie theater.
- You could be a professional weaver of palm crosses, though you do it only one day a year.
- You complain when the parish buys a new brand of Communion wine.
- You can say a family rosary on a trip in less than 15 minutes and know that God still heard it over the baby screaming.
- You remember more Latin than the foreign language you actually took classes for during high school.
- You played the "Mass game" when you were a kid.

You scarf down your breakfast Sunday mornings to beat the one-hour fast.
How funny! I love # 5!
While in the pew singing the closing prayer, when someone leaves, your toddler says in a loud voice, "It's NOT OVER."
And after communion every time, even if they've behaved like rabid raccoons, they will straighten up and give you those sweet eyes and say, "Was I good enough to get donuts?"
#5 made me laugh...
But not as much as that picture.
That picture REALLY makes me want to know the context in which it was taken!
Good stuff.
A day-brightener: thanks for sharing.
Top 10 Signs...that seems like a familiar theme in recent posts on some other Catholic blog...now let me think...
:-p
Good list!
Inspiration comes from many sources. I credit the Holy Spirit. :-P
[regrettably] You don't bring your Bible to Mass.
YES!!!
So funny! #4 is so true! We are going to Mass tonight with our Archbishop and have been debating all day on our nicest outfits!
Actually it should be, You scarf down a bowl of cereal to beat the MIDNIGHT deadline when you remember that only an hour is required now. ;-O
when you're kneeling during Mass, no matter how tired/sore your knees get, you don't sit back to rest on the pew
You couldn't carry a tune in a bag, but you sing anyway!
As a convert to Catholicism who attends the Extraordinary Form half the time, I cannot relate to a single one of these... I hope I'm atypical rather than abnormal though!
...Wait, so this means I am an abnormal catholic???
You actually wake up saying the Rosary. "Whaaat, when did I start this? What decade am I on now?"
