terrible. pre-vatican 2 nga style man ni. the catholic church is dynamic. it goes with the times (aggiornamento). maybe there's something cultural at play here?
in any case, i found this explanation the simplest and the easiest to understand (from
http://www.chnetwork.org/forum/the-sacraments/):
Today, legitimacy is irrelevant. I can believe that in the past there might have been a problem with the baptism of illegitimate children but I do not know that to be a fact. I do know that the Church no longer judges a suicide victim as unworthy of a Catholic funeral, and the two are closely related. At one time the Church made such judgments; since Vatican II, we presume the best rather than assuming the worst. It is, in my opinion, a significant change for the better.
I have been present at the baptism of the children of unmarried parents. Unfortunately, it is as common today as cohabitation. The sin of the parents is not vested on the child, so there is no reason the child should be refused the sacrament if there is at least a reasonable expectation that the child will be raised in the faith (often by a grandparent).
