Apparently Catholics United supports abortion. Would any Catholic care to comment on what the official Catholic position is on what happens to the unborn baby if no ceremonial sacraments are performed by the baby or on the baby before it is thrown in the trash?

Those who hold to election understand that each chosen person is rescued irrespective of their lifespan, but it seems that the “free will” issues of Catholicism have a difficulty here. That is, unless they use that parachute, “age of accountability”. Where again is that Scriptural reference?

I am FRiends with a great many Evangelical FReepers and quite a few of them have longstanding issues with Catholic doctrine. However, I have ALWAYS known them to be openly supportive of Catholic efforts in the fight for life.

My sense, and if I am wrong I will be the first to admit it, is that your post is an attempt to engage Catholics in some sort of debate over the unborn and I WILL NOT participate in any such debate. ALL devout Christians are under attack by the left in ways that have not been seen for over sixteen centuries; whatever dogmatic differences we may have, we damn well better recognize those many beliefs we share because we are about to persecuted and very possibly jailed and our enemy really doesn't care if we are Catholic, Baptist, Calvinist, Protestant or anything else.

Thank you for your continuing interest in Catholicism. If you cannot find a more recent thread on salvation of the unbaptised where you could post your question, do see “Limbo” on my profile page.

What “ceremonial sacraments” did the thief on the cross next to Jesus get?
