This one, well it’s just beyond belief. It takes the absurdity called ‘infant baptism’ to a new level of insanity. What bafflement. It’s not as if the baby isn’t already fully submerged. What’s the priest do??? Drag it out, sprinkle it (what a distortion of Baptism that is) and then push it back in? And anyway the baby- most importantly – can’t assent to baptism or confess belief so the whole process is a mockery of authentic faith.
(HT Stuart on the Twitter).
Been going on since antiquity, when the baby could not come out due to complications, usually the birth canal being too small the fetus would/could be baptized using a funnel.
well thats even stranger!
