Well, the inimitable Onion Dome has proclaimed a new contest for an Eastern Orthodox bumper sticker--apparently, Honk 40 Times If You're Orthodox wasn't cutting it anymore. So, we wild and crazy Latins, of course, ought to reciprocate. There's plenty of Catholic bumper-stickers out there, every church parking-lot is festooned with anything from Pray the Rosary to the more fire-and-brimstone-y If you live like there's no Hell, you better be right. Both suitable and salutary messages, but the Church is full of different charisms, each with their own peculiar quirks, and I daresay, their own set of inside jokes. Are there bumper-stickers for Catholic nerds? For traditionalists? Conservatives? Opus Dei? Anglican Use fans? Dominicans? In this spirit, the Shrine offers this selection of possible new options.

Now, can our readers top these? I hope so, I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel here.
