I'm Catholic also and have 3 children and 6 grandchildren and it is baptized. I have never seen anything where Catholic babies/children are christened. I have seen protestants have Christening for young children and then they are baptized at the age of knowledge. <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> AOL now offers free email to everyone.

Christening and baptism are the same thing. Protestant churches who baptize adults usually call the church ceremony for children "Dedication" when the parents and witnesses stand up in front of the church congregation and promise to raise children in whatever Christian church it is. Usually the congregation takes a vow as well to assist the parents in the process.
