Subject: RE: BS: Militant atheism has become a religion
To clear up a small matter, though we married in the Church we did not have our children christened. This would normally have been considered a breach of the promises we made at the wedding, but we were given special dispensation, before the wedding, to bring up our children as we saw fit by feisty "Bishop Victor", Victor Guazzelli, a big man of the East End at the time. He took a lot of persuading. He occasionally visited the school and he once railed to the staff against the menace of "militant ex-Catholics". His intemperate verbal assault raised my hackles considerably and got me thinking about whether I was in the right camp.
