[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I am an ex Catholic and no fan of Catholicism.  My kids are not baptized.  But I ask you, [b]what *IF* you just went ahead and allowed them to be baptized[/b]?  It would shut up your in-laws.

What if you let the in laws take the kids to Mass?  Who cares?  You can also let them go to other religious worship services.  Give them a taste of everything that is out there.

[b]They were baptized.  Their baptism is valid in the Catholic Church.  In fact, the Catholic Church would not re-baptize them because "we believe in ONE baptism for the forgiveness of sin."  There is no such thing as a re-baptism in the Catholic Church.[/quote]

You must be Episcopalian.  [/quote][/b]

True.  I know of baptisms of 70 year-olds into the Catholic Church (along with confirmation and reaffirmation of wedding vows to be in sync with the Catholic Church all done on the same day).  Outside baptisims carry no weight with the Catholic Church.  And these 70 year-olds had been baptised Methodist.  You must be re-baptised and go through confirmation and the whole mess if you are coming in from outside.[/quote]

Not true.  If a person was baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the RCC will not do it again.  That person will be confirmed , make his first penance, and receive his First Communion upon being received into the Church.

"For a baptized Christian, reception into full communion with the Catholic Church involves reception of the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation and then a Profession of Faith followed by the celebration of Confirmation and the Eucharist."
