1. Latin.
2. Convert.
3. 2004
4. 2004
5. Gregory, for Gregory Thaumaturgus, but also how we know of him, Gregory of Nyssa.
6. Ignatius, maybe
7. The normal mass, not the mass of incipient schismatics
8. Sacred Heart / Saint Dominic
10. Agnus Dei
11. Lord's Prayer
12. Greek/Latin NT
13. Lent
14. Ash Wednesday
15. Institution narrative, "when the supper was ended…"
16. Rarely; I'm suspicious of it
17. Two months
18. Father, husband, teacher
19. There's a Kirundi one I adore, but I don't know the name
20. No
21. Tough. There are 30 minutes in the Shoes of the Fisherman I adore.
22. Agnus Dei in Latin count?
23. 1 Corinthians ;)
24. White
25. Stabat mater, although not entirely for spiritual reasons.
26. Anything from 1 Corinthians 12ff.

33. Constantly trying to make people understand that Catholics don't believe something unusual; a MAJORITY of Christians are Catholics. American evangelicals are the weird, modern thing.

What actually is a "meme"? This looks like a questionnaire to me. It's something I would normally skip over without giving a second glance, as the questions themselves seem to me to be biased towards a particular image of Catholicism, and anyway I'm suspicious of anything that has smiley faces on it. But in deference to Tim, let me give it a try.

1. Latin.
2. Cradle.
3. 1954
4. No idea, but I would have been around 6 or 7, so probably 1960 or '61.
5. Anthony.
6. Probably Francis of Assisi, but I also like John Vianney, Maximilian Kolbe, Charles Lwanga, Bakhita...
7. Strange question as one does not belong to a form of the mass in the same way one belongs to a rite; one can attend whichever liturgy happens to present itself. But I always attend the normal form.
8. I'm nomadic and don't really have a parish. In Juba we attend the Comboni chapel. In Nairobi we are in the geographical parish of Holy Trinity, but it's a newish parish which used to be just an outstation of Consolata Shrine and we still usually attend the mother-church. In our new house which we will move into soon we are in St Mary's parish, Kiserian, but that's 30 km from the house and we'll probably end up going to one of its little outstations (which don't all have mass every Sunday), or to a missionary house which is 15 km nearer.
9. None.
10. Prayer of St Francis.
11. I don't think there's any particular prayer which I recite every day.
12. Small wooden cross around my neck.
13. Maybe Easter.
14. Easter.
15. Reflective silence.
16. No.
17. Last Lent/Easter season.
18. Missionary, peacebuilder.
19. St Patrick's Breastplate and Cwm Rhonda, maybe.
20. Since I'm not sure what a meme is and I don't think I like them anyway I certainly don't have a Catholic one.
21. I don't think I have seen a "Catholic movie".
22. What's the difference between a hymn (no 19) and a song?
23. Pacem in terris
24. Good grief.
25. Stabat mater, maybe.
26. Matthew 5:1-12, Matthew 25:31-46, Luke 4:16-22 - all of which are texts associated with Catholic Social Thought.
27. Probably something by the mystics.
28. Good grief again. EDITED TO ADD (tongue firmly in cheek): Maybe the patron saint of steam railway locomotives and/or their drivers?
29. John XXIII
30. None that I can think of. As a cradle Catholic I didn't know any converts during my most formative years.
31. As per no 30, just about everyone I knew was a cradle Catholic. I would have to mention my late mother, I think. Later I was influenced by many people who became mentors in many ways.
32. Probably Franciscans, Benedictines, Taize.
33. There is nothing "weird" about being Catholic, which is not to say that it doesn't have its own peculiarities, imperfections, etc, just as anything else does.
34. The Tradition, the sense of identity both globally and chronologically, and the depth of theological thought,
