Is it wrong to have my mom baptize me so I don’t have to go through the catechumen stuff and all that?
 
Dear LG,

Yes, it is wrong to have your mother baptize you. Baptism intitiates you into the Body of Christ which consisits of the whole Church. It is not merely a private thing. It is the greatest thing that can ever happen to you because through it you become a member of Christ. As a result, something is expected of you.

One doesn’t take this lightly. You owe God the effort of understanding His Church and what He has commanded it to teach. So I would advise you to see your priest and make arrangements to prepare for you baptism. You are in our prayers.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
