FMIL baptized someone’s baby without consent
This spring, I attended the funeral of my future MIL’s father with my fiancé, which was held at their Catholic parish. When the mass concluded, everyone headed to the parlor for the meal. During the meal, I noticed that my FMIL was particularly interested in my fiancés cousins baby. She was having a good time entertaining her with her toys and bouncing her up and down, so I really did not think anything serious of it at first. She then later went on a walk with the baby, which the parents gave consent for. It wasn’t until after the day ended and we returned to my fiancés parents house that I found out the truth of what happened. My FMIL told my fiancé that she had taken the said baby to the priest and had it BAPTIZED. Now I did some googling about how baptism works and it said that consent of the parents is usually needed, but some sites said it wasn’t, so who knows if it’s even valid. Regardless, still not okay. I asked him if the baby’s parents knew or gave permission, and he said no. I am absolutely appalled. Additionally, the parents of the baby are not religiously affiliated, which makes this action even more completely unacceptable.. Since then, I’ve even heard her talk with friends and relatives how “nobody baptizes their kids anymore, and nobody goes to church.” It makes me wonder about my future in this family, as I am not Catholic and have discussed with my fiancé that I will not convert/raise our kids in the church.
