> As a person who was at least raised Catholic, and who has been to Rome, the Vatican, and back and forth across these United States I don't get the above question. Unless some one is were in a cross I can't tell if they are Catholic, and even if they are they may be Protistant (Christian, not Catholic). So what makes some one look Catholic

That's my point exactly. You can't really tell.
I wish I could remember the name of the black philosopher who said, "We are more alike than we are different."

This might be a good time to toss in a couple more of my favorite quotes:
"I will fight no more forever." --Chief Joseph, whose people had suffered more or less the same thing the Jews endured in the '30's and '40's.

"All men are equal before fish." --Herbert Hoover
I'll let you figure that one out yourself.
