If you are forced to have your child baptised there is no law says a
priest must baptise her or him
The Roman Catholic Church claims that sprinkling water on a baby or an adult
while saying, "I baptise you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit" does amazing things. It takes away the sin we are born with,
original sin, and any other sins and grafts us on to Jesus making us his
servants. It puts Jesus and God inside us to live in us and inspire us. The
Church says that baptism heals the inclination towards sin that original sin
causes. Baptism is a sacrament. It pictures cleansing from sin and the effects
of sin and actually does what it pictures.
If you are forced by society to have your baby baptised a Catholic and you don't
wish to, you could baptise the child outwardly yourself. If you withhold
intention the baptism is invalid. It's no more valid than a baptism on a TV soap
opera. Or you could simply use the words, "I baptise you in the name of the
great force of all life". That would be invalid in the eyes of the Church. Keep
a record. People doing the baptisms themselves yourself could really take off!
The child later on can decide if he or she wants a real baptism or not.
