A formal act of defection from the Catholic Church:
ACTUS FORMALIS DEFECTIONIS AB ECCLESIA CATHOLICA
English translation of official Vatican document
of defection.
Declaration of De-Baptism & Renunciation of Religion
After due deliberation, I, ......................., having been subjected
to the Rite of Christian Baptism in infancy (before reaching an age
of consent), hereby publicly revoke any implications of that Rite and renounce
the Church that carried it out. In the name of human reason, I reject all
its Creeds and all other such superstition - in particular, the perfidious
belief that any baby needs to be cleansed by Baptism of alleged "original
sin", and the evil power of supposed demons. I wish to be excluded henceforth
from enhanced claims of church membership numbers based on past baptismal
statistics used, for example, for the purpose of securing legislative privilege.
Signed ...............
Witnessed by ............
This .... day of ......... 20.
