I'm Catholic and I've never heard of ANY baptized baby paying a fee. If so, I'm sure its given as a donation to the Church, but not ABSOLUTELY NECCESARY in order to be baptized.

Why other churches don't? Catholics charge by occasion, but other denomination charge wholesale by requiring 10% from the income of their followers. So, what should we consider that? Isn't that a charge too by citing some Biblical verses and make it a fee? I am just wondering how they collect it, is it monthly, Bimonthly or annually?

Hey, why are you complaining??!! LOL.
It's a good thing you weren't around five hundred years ago when they used to charge for plenary indulgence... more like you can pay to get your sins forgiven!
But then again, I think they still do charge those things in the form of Masses for the dead... So now you pay for your grandpa's and grandma's sins. Hahaha!
Well, it ain't right according to the Scriptures. "Freely you received, freely give."
Peace be with you!

because they are money hungry. think about they ask you to give ten % of your earnings every sunday. then when your in need you never see that money or the help. just keep ur money! any house that has god is a blessed house.

Catholicism exists only for power and profits.

Maybe they think of it as a donation to the church?
