From a reader:Can the Churching ritual be performed directly after the baptism, or should it be done on a different day? I ask this for clarity, as this will be the priest’s first time performing a baptism in the EF and is not very familiar with Churching.This custom should be brought back, and brought back soon and brought back everywhere.This is one of those über-Catholic things we should know and love and revive.Thank you, Lord, for Pope Benedict and Summorum Pontificum.I usually “Church” directly after a baptism, but the really traditional way is to wait for 40 days after childbirth
