[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look how choreographed and fake this worm’s entire life is. Baptizing his Hindu raised kid to coincide with his phony ghost written Catholic book, while bashing the Pope. This dork is so detestable on a visceral level.

Maybe this is a better question for the religion forum but as a Catholic who isn't totally versed on all the intricacies, this strikes me as weird.  Easter is when the RCIA (rite of Christian initiation for adults) candidates are baptized.  That's a year long process for adults, and the baptism is part of the mass with the renewal of baptismal promises.  Children are usually baptized on other Sundays, in a more informal process after mass that is for the family.  Although most Catholics baptize their kids as babies (to avoid limbo!), I grew up in a heavily immigrant parish where it was not uncommon to baptize later either because people were in transit, waiting for a family member to be able to cross, or saving up money for a baptismal gown/suit.  I don't know why this would be done on Easter.  Everything he does is just a little weird and off.

I assume they are doing it now so that the child can receive Reconciliation and First Communion with the other kids his age -- that's second grade in this Diocese but requires a two year class in most parishes (although I'm sure they'd allow him to start the class before being baptized).  He said his older son "chose" to be baptized at 7.   I wonder if the  compromise with Usha was that they would let each kid choose when they go to the 1st/2nd grade point.  I don't know if that's much of a choice, since kids that age are usually happy to do whatever will make their parents less disappointed in them, particularly if that choice also comes with a cake and potentially some presents.  (My own kids were a little disappointed to realize that Catholic presents generally stink...while their Jewish friends were raking in the cash, all they got was religious jewelry/statutory/books).
