It is really a matter of tradition. Western catholics use the whole open hand ( five wounds of Christ) and often three fingers( 1st , middle, ring) for Trinity and cross shoulders left to right. Orthodox ( or Eastern Catholics) use the first and middle fingers and thumb (Trinity) and cross shoulders right to left.
