I know I shouldn't laugh but before I opened this I thought "I bet he calls him a dime bar".

My two little grandsons are going to be baptised as Roman Catholics. I hope the local priest knows what he's doing! Do they submerge them over here? They don't in the Methodist church, just make a sign of the cross on the forehead with water.

[Earl]

It still burns.

I've been to a left-footer christening and they didn't dunk the baby. I did enjoy the part when the priest asks the godparents if they denounce Satan and all his little imps.

[timey]

Do they use those words exactly? What a load of nonsense it is.

[Victor29]

Thank goodness!

[Earl]

Do they use those words exactly? What a load of nonsense it is.

Nah, but every time they do the line about denouncing Satan it reminds me of that bit in Blackadder II when they get kidnapped.
