Convert Catholics typically were baptized under the auspices of some other Christian community (e.g. Baptist) before they were received into the Church by Confirmation, but their previous baptism is recognized as valid: they are not re-baptized.
Those ducks are in a row!
However, ex-Catholics, post-Catholics and anti-Catholics are not allowed to post in the Catholic Caucus, although it can get dicey because some people, like yourself, are not very forthcoming about what "faith community" they are actually part of.
I'm sure you're aware that's a Free Republic Religion Forum decision.
I seriously hope you're not leaning on that to say ya'll don't claim former Roman Catholics.
You're starting to get a little desperate in your arguments, Mrs. D.
I've told everyone which faith community I'm a member of....Christian...a follower of Jesus Christ.
I’m not entirely sure why this matters so much. Maybe the specifics of Catholic teaching changed as we learned more and more about the development of the child, but the idea of the sanctity of life remains, right?
Maybe I’m missing something...?
