After having made an application addressed to the parish I have been baptized, in order to make the annotation on the baptized persons’ registry that I don't want to be considered Catholic anymore, the priest has answered after one month with a letter in which it’s written like this: "It is communicated to Mr... that in the baptized persons’ registry of this parish, as on his/her application required, in the date of ... has been recorded the defection from the faith." For those who don’t know what the word “defection” means, there is the definition:1 the state of having rejected your religious beliefs or your political party or a cause; 2 failure, lack, loss. The fact is that I haven’t asked to annotate that I abdicate the faith, because I do have it and there is nothing that can make me renounce it. Is this a loyal and legal behavior? Even if you’re not a priest, your opinion is appreciated.
