We will be having this child I'm carrying baptised catholic. The way it works for us is that if you don't believe in God, then what harm can there be in splashing a bit of water on the babys' head, and if you do believe in God, then it's just part of the process.

The reason we'd choose catholic is more as a matter of tradition than out of any particular belief in the catholic doctrine. Both Daryl and i were baptised catholic as babies, and my two boys were also, so it makes sense as a family unit to continue in the same light.
