text: The theme of community in its widest sense is touched on in the main article.
  Baptised babies as babies neither long to be baptised or feel welcome or unwelcome in the Church. This article is all about the parents preference for ‘their’ type of Catholic Community, hence their moving from one parish to another. Baptism is a welcome into the Catholic Church not the local parish.
  Fifty years ago there was only one Catholic Community, the Universal Church. Nowadays it seems that very many parish communities go to great lengths to emphasise their diversity from the Universal Church rather than their adherence to its teaching and practices to which they only pay lip service.
  In my experience of local parishes, the vast majority of parishioners go to Church to avail themselves of the Mass and the Sacraments and ignore as best they can the more bizarre novelties introduced by parish priests and their cliques of liberal, middle-class aides mostly from the professions.
