Last night, at the Chapel Royal, Meghan was officially baptized and confirmed into the Church of England during a ceremony presided over by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Prince Harry, Prince Charles, and Camilla were in attendance. Afterwards, Charles and Camilla held a dinner at Clarence House with about eighteen people.

Also made me think of that Curb Your Enthusiasm episode where Larry is supposed to go to Cheryl's relative's baptism and he freaks out when he sees it because he thinks the guy is being drowned.
i was baptized as a kid but i don't believe in religion. if i did it as an adult just cause my partners parents said we should it still wouldnt make me part of that religion. hell idt harry or will care about that shit either, it's just royal protocal
conversely, if it means nothing to you and they're converting, the whole thing is a farce.
in the context of the RF, its just another set of rules/customs that mean nothing, help no one, and have no greater purpose than to reinforce an outdated and unneeded institution.
I get that for them is a formality, but idk it just cheapens the whole idea of religion (lol as if it needed any help!)
Which is super fucked up because like at every Mormon wedding I’ve gone, the parents can’t go in the church to see their daughter get married and so what the fuck?
I should probably check in on the tinhats again but they're exhausting and are probably calling fake news like they usually do.
also its funny to think about charles having step children. idk why
it's wild to imagine how different world history might've been if henry and catherine's first baby boy had lived to adulthood
actually breaking from the catholic church was more complex and trying, but the reasons were...ya basically that.
