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....as though you have trapped me making preposterous assertions, is what I call “bashing.”
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.
No. Catholics will continue to baptize infants, as the apostles did, because Baptism means a great deal more than “keeping the baby from going to Hell.”
Baptism makes the baptizand a member of the Church, which is the body of Christ.
Baptism causes the indwelling of the Trinity.
Baptism gives the baptizand the three Theological Virtues: Faith, Hope and Charity—the last of which is the very form of God. I.e., Baptism transforms the baptized into a new kind of creature, one whose nature participates in the very nature of God—a process that is furthered by reception of the Eucharist.
