It is, theoretically, as simple as a letter in the post or downloading a standard form from the Internet.

Few know it but, by virtue of the respect due to private life and the right to be forgotten, one can in France renounce the baptism of the Catholic Church, very often received in baby clothes and therefore not really knowingly.

The request for apostasy is made to the diocese of his baptismal church and results for the time being in a mention of the renunciation in the parish registers.

Do you no longer want to be mentioned in a baptism register because you have never been asked your opinion?

Do the positions taken by the Catholic Church or recent affairs bother you?

Are you just thinking about it?

Have you taken the plunge and been rebaptized?

Was the process complicated?

Tell us the why and how of your apostasy in the form below.
