10.14.09 -- Baptism

I’ve never been officially baptized. My academic advisor in college, who was a devout Catholic, was quite troubled by this and told me I’d be going to limbo. That didn’t seem that bad to me. Of course, this was also the same professor who didn’t have us read Dante’s Paradise in our literature class, stating none of us would be going there.

A drunken former Seminarian attempted to baptize me in the dorms, but I’m not sure that counts.

A friend of mine just returned from Portugal and gave me a lovely statue of Fátima with the blessed water (go to this link to read more about Fátima: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_of_Fatima). I wonder if it’s possible to baptize yourself.
