I may be in a small minority but I would like to see baptism available to all. Given RCC faith holds this is a sacrament and thus of considerable value or importance, and given that RCC considers it valid for babies -— given these elements of faith — denying access to a baby because of the sins of its “ parents” cannot, IMHO, be in the best imitation of Christ. Jesus expressed a particular fondness for little children, asking that they be brought to Him.... And without screening them away based on their parents’ morals. ( Just my view. Please don’t bash me about it. I’m too tired to argue today anyway. Thanks !). As far as the overall concern or fears of major doctrinal changes — I understand ( but doubt they will do very much very fast even if they’d like to. But it bears watching, yes...)

Plus it will get the parents to REPENTENCE.

Baptism is already open to all. What is going on is that homosexuals who want to change the rules about marriage are using their children to force changes in the overall rules. Don't believe for a second that any motivated single parent in the last three decades — straight or gay — ever really has a problem getting his child baptized. I am such a parent. The ones you read about are the gay couples who arrive at the church arm-in-arm and ask, “Is it a problem that we are lesbians?” They ask this hoping the answer is, “Yes!”

The Roman Catholic Faith also holds that the Sacrament of Holy Communion is reserved for only those who are in a state of grace.

Why should those who are in a state of mortal sin be allowed to supposedly raise a child in the “Catholic” faith?
