An update.... there has been a child, and there will be a baptism, but I will not attend. I actually talked with the deacon about it and he said that by being there I am basically saying that I won't interfere in his religious education. I told him I most certainly would interfere. I think the RCC has strayed so far from what Jesus charged all Christians with, that I intend to make sure the boy knows my opinion, and is encouraged to form his own.
My wife, of all people, is just fine with my position. She is only concerned about the questions that will be asked about my absence.
My response to that is, "It's really none of their business, but if they ask, the answer is I left the church for my own reasons."
