I have heard that there is a difference between our facial features, but I don't really understand

The catholics are usually weak and tired looking from taking care of all their children.

It's true. Catholics living fully like Catholics should have a look that reminds me of JESUS facially. Even in the many pictures of various Saints of various ethnicities, they all seem to have the same Eyes shining through their own. My brother and I have different facial features, yet many say we look like twins. I know it is the HOLY SPIRIT alone that accounts for this. HE even caused us both to reason exactly alike in thoughts contemplated separately.
Some protestants I have thought sort of had a similar loom to Catholics, only to find out they had been Catholic earlier. I think that those that have never been Catholic are missing something in their face, but I can tell earnest aspirers after CHRIST from apathetic people among protestants.
Among quasi-Catholics, I can see the same look between them all, that looks like a horrible caricature of the perfectly, soundly Catholic countenance.
As for one person asking if this is a joke, maybe he lacks spiritualized eyes to see this, but it is not my doing that I can so clearly see what I just see by the SPIRIT of GOD. All non-Catholics lack Graces.
I can pick out atheists from agnostics too. absolute muslims have the deadest look of all - but many captives to islam are merely that, and not willing captives. The unwilling still visibly lack something I see in Christians, but those gungho for that antichristianity have an extremely dead look to me.

No, of course not.
I attended Catholic and Protestant churches while growing up (mom was Catholic, dad wasn't, we attended both churches)...you wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between the congregations simply by looking at facial features.

this is a joke right? how gullible are you? faith has no external looks. and are they the only two to have a look? I'm a Christian, I was born again, I look no different then when I was not a Christian. My wife is a Christian also, she is born again, she was a catholic, but she came to know Christ as her Lord and savior, she is no longer Catholic, but Christian, she looks the same. Christians are not Catholic or Protestant , Protestants are protesters of the Catholic church, who still are basically catholic in Doctrine. what about MEthodist, buddist, islamic, Jews, etc, do they lookl different, or are yo attaching racial differeces to a fatih? I know Black Jews and german Buddist, so that blows that therory

Is the person who told you this from Ireland, by chance? Because here in the US it's not uncommon for one member of a family to be Catholic, another Protestant, and no one's able to tell which is which without asking.

No. How to find out? Just go to the others' house and find out. I'm a protestant as is most of my family. However my brother recently converted to Catholicism... Did he look different? Yes... full of peace, happiness, joy,.... But that applies to all who have an active faith in Christ.. Catholic or Protestant. I found out we were not so different as my biased mind wanted to tell me we were before I saw it for myself.

I think you mean a difference between Jews and Christians. Jews are often portrayed as having big noses, among other grossly exaggerated features.
This stereotype was developed purely for anti-semitic reasons - so "don't go there", as they say.
Whether Jew, Christian, Muslim - whatever - it's not about what one looks like. It's about belief.

...no. Catholics and Protestants come from lots of different ethnicities, they do not look any different just because of their religion.

You're kidding right? I went undetected in the Catholic church several times as a teenager & I was Anglican.

Yes, all Catholics look Irish. Except for the ones who look Italian, or Filipino or ...

I knew a fellow who had grown up Catholic, and the minute he converted to Lutheranism, he grew to be 6 feet tall, his black hair turned red and his brown eyes became blue.
It was remarkable.
