I just saw the public discussion about Vance, not baptizing his children as infants.
To my Catholic Brothers and sisters, you should schedule a baptism as soon as possible for your kids.
One reason among many is the spiritual protection of your child. When we trace the cross on their head and claim the child for Christ, every demon, every angel can see that mark.
It matters.
For my brother priests, I beg you
in the name of Jesus, stop prohibiting baptism until parents jump through hoops.
I buried an infant this week whose pastor refused baptism for them. Enough with trying to control and protect yourself from feeling used.
Enough with the nonsense of “protecting the sacrament”.
Jesus doesn’t need you to protect him, but he does need you to protect the souls of these little ones.
If parents come to you seeking baptism for their child, you do it.
