We're not Crazy....We're just Catholic

Thought this was super funny and since it's Sunday why not!

----------Reasons why people think we're "crazy"----------

-We like to keep Mass interesting. We sit, stand and kneel, in no particular order. Probably just to keep the blood flowing.

- It's not merlot and Ritz they're serving; it's the Flesh and Blood of Jesus. No, really.

- Infant Baptism isn't dumb; it's after-life insurance.

- We really like statues. A lot.

- After every confession, everyone hits themselves on the head. This is because they have realized that they forgot that really big sin, and they know that it'll hang over their head til the next time.

- We've always been taught that celibacy til marriage is the only way to go, forever and ever, amen. That being said...- "Sin on Saturday. Pray on Sunday. Confess on Monday".

- The Virgin Mary is not a God and we don't treat her as such. But she is without sin, gave birth to Jesus and did it without having sex. That warrants more than a little respect.

- There are two very different, irreconcilable factions in every single church in the world. They are known as the Saturday or Sunday Mass bunch.

- You miss JPII more than you miss some relatives... but who misses that child molester uncle anyway?

- Priests have been giving us alcohol since we were little kids. No wonder any one of us can drink Protestants under the table.

-Whatever you gave up for Lent, you have it in your hands at 11:59 p.m. Saturday night, counting the seconds til midnight.

- We all know Da Vinci code is bogus and inaccurate. Yet we'll still read it if nothing else is going on

-We have Midnight Mass so there are no interruptions on Christmas morning

- You've slipped out an Amen after the Pledge of Allegiance.

- Holy Water can kill just about anything. So Protestants are pretty much screwed if a vampire comes calling.

- Pope Benedict XVI scares you. Badly.

- It's not uncommon for just one family to take up an entire pew or two.

- When in doubt, say a Hail Mary.

- Whenever anyone in Star Wars saga says "May the Force Be With You", we get the urge to say "And Also With You"

- The Pope does indeed wear a funny hat. But it's way more interesting than Joel Osteen's suit and tie.
