This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Thanks.
I was pretty sure I couldn't be considered Catholic based on a baptism as an infant.

Most of this Catholic stuff whizzes right past me; baptismal symbols case in point. I'm sure there is a ton of catholic symbolism that I'm completely blind to, not being a catholic myself.  (well, how does that work anyway, I was baptised Catholic, but I've never gone to church and have serious fundamental disagreements with the Catholic church. but if I've never officially left, does that make me still Catholic? dunnoh.)
