What I stated is a few points about what the Catholic Church teaches about Baptism.

You responded with a bunch of ignorant questions, such as about babies going to Hell. There is nothing that I said, and nothing the Catholic Church teaches, that implies that unbaptized babies go to Hell.

Peppering me with loaded questions about stuff I never implied, e.g., that unbaptized babies go to Hell, as though you have trapped me making preposterous assertions, is what I call “bashing.”

If you are interested in why Catholics baptize babies, you can look it up. Wikipedia has lots of very good articles.

Well, good.

Then a baby in fragile health and in danger of death does not need to be baptized (Catholic word for infant dedication in this case) to make sure it goes to heaven, good again.

I didn't know if you understood that as it seemed to be a life of death thing, getting the baby "baptized."

It's been a few days, so here is your quote I was responding to

Babies in hospitals who are in fragile health are baptized every day by non-Catholics and non-Christians if they are in danger of death.

Sorry didn't mean to "trap" you but it is preposterous to call anything other then how Jesus illustrated to us what baptizing actually is, can't do that "to" infants. They will understand what baptism is as they grow older and then can do it the way Jesus taught, and actually did.
