Troggle: I remember them doing that to unbaptised ones. They were called "Unappoved Associates". My best friend became one. Funny my mom still let me hang with him.
The one thing that got me thinking was when I was at a wedding in the early nineties and the elder giving the talk said the wedding rings had pagan origins but that the society doesn't look at them that way. I thought "WTF". They are alway hammering on "worldly" people for saying the samething about Halloween and Christmas. Five years later I was out and never went back.
