Last year he also said, “You need to be sick in the head” to think homosexuality is a perversion, according to local media.

“Who am I to judge? The Pope has the same attitude as Christ did,” he said.

The theology may be appalling, but shouldn’t the baby receive the sacraments of his church?

Can the Pope judge people who disagree with the policy?

the Church’s Code of Canon Law states that for an infant to be baptized in the Catholic Church “there must be a founded hope that the infant will be brought up in the Catholic religion.”

Defrock this buffoon.

Years ago, in Spain, my little cousin was denied baptism because his parents were not married in the Catholic church (the mom was Lutheran). Since a baptism certificate was then necessary for just about anything in Spain, beginning with registering for kindergarten, the parents agreed to get married again. Then it turned out that no priest would marry them as long as the mother was Lutheran, and she refused to convert just to go along. Eventually a priest married them in the sacristy and a few days later the boy was baptized.

The child should be baptized period. That is what Jesus would do and then He would pray for the child and her parents. People need to concentrate on the sins they themselves are committing and quit judging others. God doesn’t have a “sin hierarchy” and we all sin regularily.

The baby is an innocent. If the church baptizes babies, it should baptize all of them, because no baby ever does anything that warrants being lost.

The church can always excommunicate later on.

The Vatican has nothing to do with this. This is the bailiwick of the bishops.

The Vatican investigated him, the article said, 2 years ago as he was the spiritual leader to a homo group and they did what? Nothing?

What about Christians who don't believe in infant baptism, and non-Christians?

So why not give Holy Communion out on street corners to anybody who asks?

An infant child is without sin.

Why not?

One of the most offensive things to God is being an obstacle to salvation.

7.Matthew 18:6
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Not when those in question don’t think their behaviors are sins. The Lesbians are flaunting their sin.
