Does anyone think that there is any way that two traditional Catholics could recognise each other as such if they just met? In other words, could there be any "archetype" traditional Catholic? (Yes, its a stupid question)

I suggest a distinctive handshake.

Haha

It was a pretty stupid question.

Ideally, they would have a different dress and bearing than the average worldling.

Perhaps they would be seen in a Catholic-friendly locale rather than a movie theater.

Traditional Catholic women should be seen always with modest skirts/dresses and never wear pants in public. Men shouldn't wear anything immodest either -- and modest presumes no vulgar or worldly slogans on your shirt. A temple of the Holy Ghost should not be a walking billboard for a large corporation -- unless you're being paid well for it. :wink:

When I see a large family, especially with all the girls not wearing pants, I always take notice. Of course, I always tell myself "they're probably Mormon" because so few Catholics, even Traditional ones, take their Faith out into the streets.

Not that every traditional Catholic is malicious, but I think many of them simply don't know how to properly resist the world. They have no idea just how far the world's standards are from what is objectively good.
