There is a story told about Hilaire Belloc, that when he visited St.
Patrick's Cathedral in New York he stood, as was the French custom, when
the Americans knelt. An usher approached him and whispered, "We kneel at
this point, sir." To which Belloc replied, "Go to hell!" The usher
responded, "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't know you were a Catholic."
