de-baptism catching on in Flanders

To do list:
1) make a Living Will
2) get an organ donor card
3) get de-baptised from the Catholic church

Here's an excerpt from an article in Flanders Today about an interesting trend in Belgium.

Interesting article--however this is a misnomer. There is no such thing as "de-baptising". What happened, happened, and God does not remove the graces imparted to a person at baptism through a "de-baptism".

It is a both a protest against the Catholic church in Belgium (which is currently having all kinds of trouble over abuse issues)and an illustration of the culture's move toward secularism.
