They've been taught. In our parish, I'm one that makes sure they've been taught. They know they have to accept the total faith and morals of the Catholic Church to be baptized.

However, we don't even give a final test before the Easter Sacraments, let alone keep them under moral surveillance. So it's hard to say how many of them may still be contraceptors, egotists, usurers, dishonoring to their parents, violators of the Lord's Day Rest, or gossips.

I'd venture, though, that they're better on contraception than the cradle-catholic twentysomethings. Actually, that's a fairly safe bet.

I would venture not a single one of them stopped artificial contraception, unless they happened to enter menopause or left a relationship.

They know they have to accept the total faith and morals of the Catholic Church to be baptized.

They've been told that. Unlikely they take it seriously. Younger cradle Catholics have simply heard it more times.
