    Baptism for TomKat's baby?!

    Canon Lawyer Ed Peters over at In the Light of the Law looks at what canon law would have to say about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' new baby getting baptized (probably by Grandma Holmes!):
    Let's assume that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are just two terribly catechized Catholics who don't have the faintest idea what it really means to be "married in the Church." That would explain how they (and the clueless media) could even be talking about their "being engaged" despite Tom's two previous putative marriages (c. 1085) and his apparent apostasy (cc. 751, 1071) to Scientology on the one hand, and the stress of Katie's metapublic pregnancy and her own dalliance with Scientology on the other. The point I wish to address, however, deals not so much with them, as with their baby, due shortly. As things stand now, their baby cannot be licitly baptized in the Catholic Church. [more]
    Oh, and in other news: Tom Cruise is crazy.

    ... and if that doesn't convince you, this should (click here if video does not work):
