Some Catholics even make the sign of the Cross "the other way round" and the Maronites have married priests (but not married Bishops). I'm not certain, but I think some, like Orthodox Churches, confirm children just after their Baptism. Sadly during history some Latin Catholic clergy have caused dissension by trying to make fellow Catholics make the Sign of the Cross "the proper way round" and in some cases supplant very long practised traditional Rites in favour of the Tridentine Holy Mass. There is in reality much more variety in The Catholic Church than most of us are aware of.
