I have a few amendments and additions (all in good fun), if I may:
- you prefer the Carmelite Monks of Wyoming to Father Stan.
- you and your spouse do not practice NFP, unless you have an absolute and licit need to do so.
- whenever anyone says "JPII", you pray for the soul of the late pontiff, John Paul II.
- you know what Ember Days are and wander why they are no longer observed.
- you know at least 3 prayers in Latin.
- you understand the protocol of meeting ecclesiastics (e.g. genuflecting on the left knee and kissing the episcopal ring when meeting your bishop).
- you know the Divine Praises.
A great list!
