But John stayed him, saying: I ought to be baptized by thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering, said to him: Suffer it to be so now. For so it becometh us to fulfil all justice. Then he suffered him. And Jesus being baptized, forthwith came out of the water.” (Saint Matthew 3:13-16) “Holy baptism, which is the gateway to the spiritual life, holds the first place among all the sacraments; through it we are made members of Christ and of the body of the Church. And since death entered into the universe through the first man, ‘unless we are born of water and the Spirit, we cannot,’ as the Truth says, ‘enter into the kingdom of heaven.’ The matter of this sacrament is real and natural water.” (The Council of Florence, 1439) Original version: 4/2003; Current version: 7/2013 [needs more editing] Mary’s Little Remnant 302 East Joffre St. TorC, NM 87901-2878 Website: www.JohnTheBaptist.us (Send for a free catalog) 3 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION ....................................................................................... 11 WARNING .....................................................................................................................................................13 ABBREVIATIONS ..........................................................................................................................................14 REVISIONS AND CORRECTIONS TO THE PREVIOUS VERSION ..................................................................14 THE BAPTISM CONTROVERSY AND THE SALVATION DOGMA ................................................................16 ALLOWABLE OPINIONS DO NOT BELONG TO THE MAGISTERIUM .........................................................17 Non-magisterial teachings are fallible and thus cannot end the dispute ............................................... 17 Papal promulgation is not infallible in and of itself ................................................................................ 18 Erroneous allowable opinions are defended by erroneous theologies ................................................... 18 Erroneous theologies can be taken to heretical conclusions ............................................................................. 18 THE THREE ALLOWABLE OPINIONS ON BAPTISM, JUSTIFICATION, AND SALVATION ..........................19 Sanctification by baptism of water, blood, or desire applies only to catechumens ................................ 19 Baptism of water, blood, and desire place the recipients inside the Catholic Church ............................ 20 1.

  • I Want Them to Understand? I Want Them to Understand What Baptism Is, Why It Is Done, Who It Is Done To, How It Is Done, Where It Is Done and When It Is Done
    Baptism Baptism General questions What are the main concepts about Baptism I want them to understand? I want them to understand what baptism is, why it is done, who it is done to, how it is done, where it is done and when it is done. What is the action I hope they will do after this talk? I hope that they will have a greater appreciation for the sacrament and understand the critical nature they play in it. 1. Introduction to Baptism a. Baptism is a sacrament of new birth which forgives sins and makes us members of Christ and his church b. Baptism is necessary for salvation and allows us to receive other sacraments c. Baptism can be given to anyone who hasn’t received it yet and has faith. d. In baptism water and the Trinitarian formula is used. e. Baptism is usually done in a church and is given to adults on Easter Vigil or to an infant shortly after birth. 2. What is Baptism? a. It is a sacrament - The sacraments are efficacious signs of grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us. The visible rites by which the sacraments are celebrated signify and make present the graces proper to each sacrament. They bear fruit in those who receive them with the required dispositions.(CCC 1131) b. It is a new birth into heaven i. Council of Trent – “the water regenerates the soul by virtue of the Holy Spirit. The ablution ( ’washing’) of the water, sensible element, and the effusion of the Spirit, divine element, join to produce the supernatural birth” Christ came to earth, divine became human and so to humans become divine ii.

This paper focuses on burial practices in medieval Central Europe pertaining to children who died before, during, or shortly after birth. It discusses the relationship between medieval laity, ecclesiastic power, and social space, using three medieval cemeteries in Switzerland and Austria as examples. By integrating considerations of medieval practices of infant baptism, afterlife topography, and social theories of space, a methodological and interpretative framework is outlined and employed for approaching burials of early-deceased infants, the social dimension of related local burial practices, and processes of power negotiation between medieval laypeople and church authorities. Keywords afterlife, baptism, burial space, Central Europe, early-infancy death, landscape, middle ages, mortuary archaeology, social space Introduction In medieval Europe the engagement with children who died before, during, or shortly after birth was closely linked to their baptismal status. As a means to clear the soul from Original Sin, baptism constituted the most profound rite of passage within Christianity.

  • Is Feeneyism Catholic? / François Laisney
    I S F That there is only one true Church, the one, Holy, Catholic, EENEYISM Apostolic, and Roman Church, outside of which no one can be saved, has always been taught by the Catholic Church. This dogma, however, has been under attack in recent times. Already last century, the Popes had to repeatedly rebuke the liberal Catholics for their tendency to dilute this The Catholic dogma, “reducing it to a meaningless formula.” But in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s, the same dogma was C Meaning of misrepresented on the opposite side by Fr. Feeney ATHOLIC and his followers, changing “outside the Church there is The Dogma, no salvation” into “without water baptism there is absolutely no salvation,” thereby denying doctrines which had been “Outside the positively and unanimously taught by the Church, that is, Baptism of Blood and Baptism of Desire. ? Catholic Church IS FEENEYISM REV. FR. FRANÇOIS LAISNEY There Is No CATHOLIC? Salvation” What is at stake?—Fidelity to the unchangeable Catholic Faith, to the Tradition of the Church. We must neither deviate on the left nor on the right. The teaching Church must “religiously guard and faithfully explain the deposit of Faith that was handed down through the Apostles,…this apostolic doctrine that all the Fathers held, and the holy orthodox Doctors reverenced and followed” (Vatican I); all members of the Church must receive that same doctrine, without picking and choosing what they will believe. We may not deny a point of doctrine that belongs to the IS deposit of Faith—though not yet defined—under the pretext that it has been distorted by the Liberals.

The minister pours water on the person to be baptized, saying N, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. All Amen. The minister may then say the Lord’s Prayer and the Grace or a blessing. If it is appropriate, some of the following may also be used. Before the Baptism Jesus says: I have come that you may have life and have it in all its fullness. John 10.10 All that the Father gives me will come to me; and whoever comes to me I will not turn away. John 6.37 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and will save those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34.18 Heavenly Father, grant that by your Holy Spirit this child may be born again and know your love in the new creation given us in Jesus Christ our Lord. All Amen.

  • Emergency Baptism Policy
    Emergency Baptism Policy The proper place for baptism is a church or oratory; however, in a case of urgent necessity or some other compelling pastoral reason, Baptism may be celebrated in a hospital, institutional setting, or other location of emergency. In these emergency situations, when a Catholic priest administers Baptism in danger of death, it is expected that he will administer Confirmation also.1 When a priest is not available for an emergency Baptism, a deacon or properly catechized layperson should be sent immediately. A priest can later administer Confirmation if warranted. An infant in danger of death is to be baptized without delay. An adult in danger of death can be baptized if, having some knowledge of the principal truths of the faith, the person has manifested in any way at all the intention to receive baptism and promises to observe the commandments of the Christian religion. If baptism is administered neither by the pastor nor in his presence, the minister of baptism, whoever it is, must inform the pastor of the parish in whose territory the baptism was administered. All emergency baptisms are to be recorded in the sacramental register for Baptism of the territorial parish in which the Baptism took place. The pastor must carefully and without delay record in the baptismal book the names of those baptized making mention of the minister, parents, sponsors, witnesses if any and the place and date of the conferred baptism, together with an indication of the date and place of birth. If Confirmation was also administered it is recorded along with the Baptism in the territorial parish.
