Re: Bored.. Poll.. Baptism
this has been a very interesting thread.. i enjoy reading about other people's beliefs..
we'll be having our baby dedicated at 3 months. so november.. it's not a baptism, that is something that they will decide to do when they get older and have attended church with us and make the decision to accept our Saviour as theirs.

Re: Bored.. Poll.. Baptism
As a Catholic, I am raising my son Catholic. As someone mentioned, the purpose of baptism is to cleanse original sin. If I am raising him as a Catholic, he would receive 2 other sacraments before Confirmation, which he wouldn't be able to receive if he isn't baptized.
I agree with Preguntas that if he decides as a young adult that he doesn't want to be confirmed, I am OK with that and it will be his decision. For now, I am following the traditions of my faith and he can make his own choices when he is old enough.

Re: Bored.. Poll.. Baptism
DH and I are both 'Catholic on paper'. we don't agree with a good portion of the political stances the church has made... However, we do view Catholicism as a major part of our culture/background. We got married in the church, and intend to raise our kids Catholic. If they decide to dissociate themselves from the belief system when they are teens/adults, we wouldn't hold them back.... but we likely WOULD be a bit disappointed if they decided to adopt a different religion, since that would change the holidays/traditions our families have followed for hundreds of years.
Crumb will be baptized on time (as a baby, probably under 4 months old).

I as well as DH was born & raised Catholic. We plan on baptising our baby shortly after birth, and will strive to raise him the way we were raised.
Same here!
I just went yesterday and met with the priest, it is the church I made my confirmation, communion, and was married in so it is very special to me...I am setting it up early, she will be 2 months old but my brother is the Godfather and can only come in in August so I am starting the Christening process early

Re: Bored.. Poll.. Baptism
We are baptising DD in April, she will be 7 months old. Yes, that is late and I know that we should have done it sooner. Honeslty, things just don't always work out the way you plan them, I think most preggos here know that.
But, imo, she will still be baptisied. The timing of it is just out of my hands.

Re: Bored.. Poll.. Baptism
we are catholic. if it were solely up to me, DS would not be baptised. i do not believe that babies are born with any sin, let alone original sin, to be cleansed of. i also don't believe that an innocent baby wouldn't go to heaven if they aren't baptised. so to me, i would let my child decide his own religion when he's a young adult/grown adult.
with that being said, the catholic religion is very important to DH so i'm totally letting him raise DS catholic. he will be baptised around 4 months, make his communion and confirmation in the catholic church. and if one day he decides to convert, so be it.

I will have him baptised, and make his communion, and go to religion class. I think that exposing him to the one religion I know anything about is how he will make his educated decision on whether or not to be confirmed.
eta- I would totally support his curiosity on other religions, as well- no matter what his age is.
I agree with you 100%.
