It doesn't mention the Catholic Church in your article steeljack. A little research reveals that the Sister Frances mentioned is, in fact, a single mother and member of an Anglican order of nuns.

oops sorry , saw the words Nun and Sister and mistakenley assumed she was Catholic , (a proper Bride of Christ ), not some pale anglo-saxon version, guess the light bulb should have clicked on when I read her name, with her not being called Sister Mary ..............
no offense intended to the Church :o :o :o


note to mods ....we need a smily to repesent remorse/apology ,the flagellating banana doesn't really cover it :( :(

note to self .........lay off the Bushmills before posting

It would have been a lot less messing about if the nun had given him one instead.

Wish I could pop my cherry again i've forgot what it were like, that's trouble with being important.

Re: Catholic Church not all bad
 

Must not be that important then.:D :D

Re: Catholic Church not all bad
 

can i just say something about the catholic church?
my gran and grandad where catholic, my mum was catholic, my sister and her husband and kids are catholic, i went to enquire about reece being baptised and i got a huge NO!! all because i aint catholic, although my sis n bother-in-law where to be reece's god parents, the father said i couldnt get him baptised because it has to come from me, after that i lost all my faith in the church....surely it has to start somewhere?....pathetic

Re: Catholic Church not all bad
 

I agree with you it can be a bit padantic.

Wait until its school choosing time. when the faith of your child can help or reduce the chance of them getting into your choosen school.

Re: Catholic Church not all bad
 

If you're not catholic then why do you want to get your son christened?
(point of reference - christening is when the parent offers their child to god, baptism is when a person offers themselves i.e. an older person who has never been christened). Catholic priests tend to believe that if you're not a catholic yourself then the only reason you're doing it is to get your child into a catholic school and not because you want to dedicate them to god.

I hadn't seen this thread, it has just been linked from another.

After our conversation about this shaz I was thinking ...... have you approached the Fathers of the church's that your family are known to? I know I used the term 'shop around' but some Priests have moved forward more than others. Ian's dad is a practicing catholic and attends St Marys every Sunday etc. but Father Bourke wouldn't baptise ours because Ian isn't a practicing catholic but Father Walsh from Sacred Heart would.

Have you considered catholicism yourself or is that just a no go?

If it means that much to you that you want Reece brought up catholic don't give up after an altercation with just one Priest there is many more out there that would be glad to baptise him.

I wonder if the church would have also help him if he was gay, and wanted to have sex with a man?

Or bisexual, and wanted a man and a woman at the same time!:D

Re: Catholic Church not all bad
 

Probably would depend if you were willing to let him join! :eek: :D

Re: Catholic Church not all bad
 

I don't think that would work, she doesn't look like she believes in fairy tales any more.
