I'm going too!
AlligatorDicax,
That is a great idea! But, maybe if all would don Miraculous Medals or Brown Scapulars, that would be easier?
Or, we could paint crosses on our faces? Kind of akin to the war paint seen in "Brave Heart".
My sister suggested that you could simply tell every person you pass "Hi, I'm Catholic"! That works too...
One could even use labeling stickers on their shirt with an "I'm Catholic" on it or something.
Well, I'm certainly going to do
something. I'm not flying 1200 miles to be a wallflower. I want to meet the other solid Traditional Catholics who drove and/or flew in from all over the world. This could be an excellent opportunity to make new friends.
Your scapular or miraculous medal idea might be the best. I want to do SOMETHING to suggest I'm Catholic, not just a well-dressed Lutheran. Remember, protestants and atheists get dressed up for conferences and special events too. So just a suit & tie and modest dress will NOT give you away as a Catholic. It's not like the pagans around us dress in bikinis and short shorts for
every occasion. They only run around in their underwear when they're at a beach or waterpark.
A long (close to ankle-length) skirt might be a good idea for the ladies. That will nearly give them away as Trad Catholics. When prottys and pagans get dressed up, they tend to go with low necklines, sleeveless dresses, tight dresses, and knee-length AT THE LONGEST for their dresses and skirts.
