What happens if you are not Christened ?

What does that have to do with the post I replied too?

I take it that comprehension isn't your strong point

Yes but most RC's aren't "allowed" to take communion elsewhere, even though they've welcome to in CofE churches.

As I said in an earlier post they can take communion in some Orthodox Churches.
My mate took communion by mistake in the Forester's Chapel in the lake district when we were in the Scouts. Chapel means RC in the West of Scotland, as it was High Church the service was much the same as in his local RC so he took comunion.

It is one of them, but communication and consistency patently are not yours.

I'd love to know why you think I have been inconsistent, or how I have failed to communicate my point :T

The only problem seems to be your inability to understand the English language

Post 27 and 86, In post 84 I replied to post 27, highlighting many Muslim kids attend RC schools and questioning whether your statement that if you are not baptised you would find it difficult or impossible to attend many Catholic schools. As Muslims are obviously not baptised, and many of them attend RC schools – it can’t be that difficult.
Doesn't really seem to be me having problems with language

I take it that doens't apply to the many Muslim kids who attend RC schools?

In some areas the Catholic school is the only option (which is scandalous in itself) and if they limited themselves to only baptised Catholics they'd have to close!

In some areas the Catholic school is massively oversubscribed and seen as a better alternative to an ordinary comp.

Where I grew up it was the CofE schools that everyone wanted to get into, too many traveller's children and kids off council estates in the Catholic ones you see.

For obvious reasons Catholics are given priority to attend Catholic schools, if you are non Catholic, which includes Muslims, you don't have priority therefore it is more difficult to attend those schools.

What part of that confuses you so much.


Thanks for confirming my initial statement by using the phrase " it can’t be that difficult " :rotfl: apparently I'm not the inconsistent one

Then again with your shocking level of comprehension you probably don't even understand why that phrase is contradictory to your argument.

Neither myself or my brother have been Christened but my brother was allowed to get married in a church (why he wanted to is beyond me, but that's another argument). The fact that the vicar was a personal friend of my sister-in-law might have had something to do with it, but I don't know.

As for whether you need to be Christened to get into a Catholic school - surely the answer is to make sure that you are if you want to get into one? I personally think that selective criteria based on religious grounds for state schools is wrong, but I think it's equally wrong to pretend to be religious just to get into a particular school.

A nice young lady said you are welcome to join our church you don’t have to be Greek, not exactly a hard sell.
Plus you got really nice Greek pastries with the tea and coffee after the service.

Promises of Greek pastries? It doesn't come much harder than that, even I'd have been tempted :rotfl:

See the posts above. You don't need to be Christened to get married in your local C of E parish church. You don't even need to be a Christian. Jedi knights would be equally entitled.
