C & E Catholics

A person who only attends mass on Christmas and Easter.
Observing his larger than usual Easter congregation, Father Dick took the opportunity to deliver a little dig. ".....and it's so nice to see my C & E Catholics this morning. We see so little of you, that when you do attend mass we have to break out the Ritz crackers"

(Practicing Catholics look down on C & E 's taking communion.)

This is a true story. And yes, his name WAS Father Dick.

woodwork catholics 

Catholics who come out of the woodwork to attend mass only on Christmas, Easter, and one week into New Year's Resolutions. They're the reason the regularly participating catholics can't get a seat or a parking spot on those crowded holidays. They also pull out their catholic card when they want to have a wedding or baptism in a church because it makes for nice pictures.
We listened to Christmas mass in the doorway of the church because the place was overflowing with woodwork catholics.

Bouncy castle Catholics 

Catholic parents who, while no longer ascribing to the Catholic faith or ever attending mass will insist on their children receiving the sacrments of baptism, communion and conformation. So called because the event is more about the party that follows, which will always involve the renting out of a bouncy castle.
Tom and Julie are bouncy castle Catholics- you never seen them once at mass and yet here they are for their kids' communion.

Because I'm a Catholic, right?

(N) When you're pushed to the corner during a debate or an argument, and you have no valid points to put across, you may use this slang to save your face and guilt your opponent. This is an important victim card in India.
Policemen caught Joe riding without license. They urged him to come to the nearby police station as punishment. Joe instead of accepting his crime, said : "you caught me Because I'm a Catholic, right?"

The policemen, feared of being called communal, let him go.
