Ah, well we all know Catholics are their own special brand of ritual, and well, Quakers, we don't say anything! (And actually when someone does say something in an unprogrammed meeting, it is not common/acceptable to 'answer' what someone says. From what I understand.)
And yeah more about the Catholic, even your ethnic background matters a little bit. The Italian Catholics have their own special things that the Irish don't hold as dear (i.e. Christmas Eve being a bigger deal than Christmas), and the Puerto Rican Catholics I know have different traditions as well. All Roman Catholic but all with different traditions.
I find it all fun and facinating, the ways people worship.
