Ah, religion.
A friend's sister had a child recently, and she's just had her christened*. The mother's family are Protestant, while the father's Catholic, and the whole ordeal was planned behind the mother's family's back to be a Catholic ceremony.
‘Peeved’ doesn't quite capture the tension in the air on this one.
* I think.
Heh... my ex and her whole clan are Catholic. She wanted Zioette christened and I absolutely insisted that if it was happening at all, it was happening in a bog standard CofE church. No way is my daughter being indoctrinated Catholic.
They buckled on that one, but I know she's planning on sending her through the local Catholic schools when the time comes, and that won't be happening either if I have anything to do with it.
Edit: in fact, this one is more important to me than the Christening. I can deal with a one-off religious ceremony, but religious educations are another matter entirely.
