Casting Out Unclean Spirits

The Rituale Romanum Rite for the baptism of children

any young Catholic parents are discovering that they can have their baby

baptized in the ringing phrases of the Rite of Baptism as it was given for more than 1500 years in the Church. But what’s that like?

Chris Tatum, 34, is a married father of two who says he’s been Catholic ‘since I was three weeks old.’ Recently, the Nashville, Tennessee-based business analyst was invited to witness the baptism of a friend's newborn baby boy – in the 1962 Rite of Baptism. According to Chris, this is what made all the difference.
