I didn't know that. Good to hear. It suggest to me that the number being de-baptised is only a fraction of those disenchanted.
I call myself and ex catholic because I stopped practising in 1968. I think there are a few more here. I'm aware the church keeps me on their books. Can't be arsed doing anything about it. One reason is I understand the greed of the church. I discovered that they charged my ex wife $1500 for an annulment of our marriage. By willing to bet there's a hefty fee for de baptism.
