    why do you think it’s anything like being knighted?

    I guess it has one similarity in that it’s a symbolic ritual, but I think that’s where the similarities end. Being knighted is a lot more impressive, and commands some respect, since it has a selection process that involves either being recommended by the public or a government committee…

    There’s no minimum requirement to become Catholic… Have you heard of missionaries… People that travel far and wide to try to spread their faith because they want to baptise literally everyone in the world…
