This truly sounds awful. As a Catholic myself, I feel so much of Catholic dogma keeps people away from the church instead of embracing them.
You mentioned that you had "lost your faith," but then you said there was no way that you would be rebaptised. I'm a little confused by this since it seems maybe you aren't too attached to one particular religion.
Anglican and Catholocism are so similar. I think the Pope is the only difference.
It seems like the only thing you can do is be rebaptised. Would this make your children very happy? Also, would you have enough time to go through classes etc. to do this BEFORE the first communion?
It all sounds so ridiculous to me. I'm sorry you have to deal with this. But it seems as if they aren't budging which would make me think the only thing to do is become Catholic. However, am I right in interpreting that that is completely out of the question?
