Time to get a bunch of religious types in a tizzy. Always worth a few laughs.

People thought that their children were baptized.

Found out they aren't.

Hilarious.

But they are. This is nothing but a semantics based cash grab looking to take advantage of the rubes.

You are a Rube if you think this is a cash grab.

It's a complete cash grab taking aim at the "devout believers of an invisible entity from a storybook". You're nuts if you think this invalidates whatever religious ceremonies have taken place to the "victims of this unfortunate misspeak" over the years.

If you think that they will be charged to be re-baptized, you are more then a rube.

The baptisms will need to be redone and that’s not all. Because baptism is the basis of becoming a Christian, confirmation and some other sacraments of the Catholic church also will need to be repeated, the diocese says. If your baptism is invalid, your confirmation also is invalid.

Coffers are probably running bare - too many settlements.

I pray to Saint Jimmy, the Patron Saint of Message Boarding, that you fuckers learn how to use the quote function.

I've had a couple kids baptized, and don't remember ever being charged for it in the first place.

I guess I should have called it the "suggested donation"

I dont remember that, either.

We were given that song and dance when both of my kids were baptized. I dunno. I'm not the Catholic in the family (mercifully). All I know is that it was suggested I cough up some cash to the padre.

Well I will admit my children were baptized in our home parish by our priest, maybe if you are a non-church-goer and just pop in for a quick splash to check a box maybe you pay a fee. I've never paid a special fee for baptisms or confirmations or weddings or any of the sacraments in any parish I have ever belonged to.

Definitely have heard of paying or tipping the priest, Pastor, etc.. for officiating a wedding.
