[OLD REGGIE]

You really ought to do your homework. One would think that anyone who lies so often would be better at it by now. FR has too much of the Pajama media in it to get away with your Dan Rather like information. I happen to have known the Fr. Bob Curtis who was present at the Duke's baptism.

Do you suppose John Wayne, born and brought up a Presbytarian, was never baptized.

What was Fr. Bob Curtis doing at the baptism of a Protestant?

[Deo volente]

He could have been “conditionally” baptized if there was any doubt about an earlier baptism. Really, it's done all the time. Often with adult converts there isn't even any paperwork to prove that an earlier baptism occurred.
This is a canonical requirement of the Church for adult converts. The Church wants to be sure that baptism is not necessary now because the person had already been baptized. That's how seriously the Church takes the sacrament.
