BAPTISM INFECTED BABIES AND KILLED THEM
Baptism is so important to the Church and its understanding of what Jesus wants
that the Church agrees with people who have a child all covered in sores and who
is very sick being baptised with stagnant water. This happened a lot in the poor
hygiene of the Middle Ages. It can happen today in war zones. Infection will
happen and may result in the death of the child. The Church holds that baptism
must still be given for spiritual life that is being made pleasing to God by
baptism matters far more than physical life. Jesus put his spiritual life before
his physical life and didn't try to escape the arrest that led to his cross. He
risked the life of his mother and friends and brothers in the way he practiced
his spirituality.
Show solidarity with the babies and the sick who were killed by filthy baptismal
water by keeping your baby away from the poisonous waters of baptism.
When infectious disease such as tuberculosis, were rife, the Church continued
with baptisms as an essential service. Many a baby was left without
parents over this.

Doctrinal Summary by Br Thomas Mary MICM. This page informs us that Catholic
teaching is that if you hear of the Catholic Church and don’t join it or study
it your damnation is guaranteed. It affirms that babies that die without baptism
will be banned from Heaven forever.
