In the days before I was catholic I certainly gave full consent of the will to my separation from Peter.ben in denvernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26883902.post-43680508705864491672011-04-12T20:32:59.141-04:002011-04-12T20:32:59.141-04:00I know!

She found herself in church one day after my daughter requested she wanted to see her nana who was attending a service at the time. She was visibly uncomfortable being there which aroused my curiosity. Then she accidentally let slip the word "damn" and was convinced that a thunderbolt from heaven would come down upon her for cursing in church. When I inquired further about her religious upbringing, I discovered she believes herself to be "saved" due to her baptism. I told her it's a little more complicated than that, but I'm not sure I'm qualified to indoctrinate her. I'm not yet certain she desires to be indoctrinated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26883902.post-89601343275970062982011-04-12T13:38:39.178-04:002011-04-12T13:38:39.178-04:00I like it.

It is odd to apply the same exact preparation to a person not baptized, a person baptized as an infant but never catechized, a person active in, say, a Presbyterian church, and a person coming from this or that Anglican tradition.samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18046817618324786021noreply@blogger.com
