Once validly Baptized by anybody, anywhere, you are a Catholic...you cannot be baptized something else.... Wishful thinking if ever there was any. Just another example of Catholicism's obsessive control freakness. They just have to make a claim to owning everyone and to have their fingers in everybody's business, don't they? I belong to Jesus, not Catholicism. HE is the one who saves me. No one or nothing else.

So whatever you believe is correct?? O.K., I guess....Baptism, for one thousand six hundred years made a person a Catholic...along came the revolutionaries and decided to change the rules....you can be baaptized a Lutheran, or a Methodist, or a whatever.....no you can't, the rules don't change because you don't like them....you are Baptized a Catholic....you either practice Catholicism or you don't.

For example, if a Baptized Christian of ANY denomination decides to rejoin the Catholic church, there is no need for him/her to be rebaptized....they are already Catholic.

That’s hilarious! But I learned a LONG time ago to be sure to use the < /sarc> tag when I am posting SARCASM. I helps people who can’t tell the difference and it’s just plain polite to do so.

“along came the revolutionaries and decided to change the rules.”

If your religion followed the Holy Bible (rules) and not the made up man made rules of the catechism no change would have been required.

Mark 7:13 King James Version (KJV)

13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
