Theoketos Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I love me some buffet Catholics. I spend all my time trying to convert them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 When did we start saying cafeteria Catholics instead of buffet Catholics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resurrexi Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 We probably switched when we realized that "cafeteria Catholics" is alliterative and that "buffet Catholics" might appear to be a Protestant conspiracy to forcefully strike those in communion with the Bishop of Rome.

Hilde Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 I think of buffet as take as much as you can eat, but cafeteria as when they're making your sandwich at Subway; You can take and leave whatever you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Cafeteria sounds more derogatory anyway. There are nice buffets, but not many nice cafeterias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
