My son was unable to gain access to our local catholic school (UK) because he was baptised a few days after his 2nd birthday. The reasons why this happened are complicated. After attending mass on a regular basis (weekly) since we moved to our current parish 8 years ago we were told that we had not paid the sacrement enough respect and as such he was prioritised after those children baptised before their 2nd birthday.
He is in effect now a 2nd class catholic and a caste system exists.
I have been trying to understand why a person baptised 1 minute before their 2nd birthday is more catholic than one baptised 1 second after their second birthday. This in effect says that anyone who converts is less catholic.
Does anyone know of any process by which I can appeal to the vatican for dispensation against this discrimination.
To be honest I feel as though I have been judged and have no recourse to defend the dignity of my family or son. This seems to bethe one sin for which there is no absolution.
