Yeah, it's FM's fault that RCC hates babies out of wedlock, but loves Nazis.

lol FM is like: Some babies are in Hell according to Catholicism, right? Please validate my anti-religion biases. The answer he gets is one he doesn't like because it didn't turn out as bad as he was expecting. So he selectively quotes a verse from the OT to compensate for that. Checkmate Catholics

Yeah, RCC doesn't want to have anything to do with babies out of wedlock like baptizing them or, if they die, bury them into consecrated ground. But if some priest or bishop who worked with the Nazis during ww2 dies, then they'll bury him into a church if needed.

Back in late 77 the priest in my hometown wouldn't baptize my daughter because I was unwed. I asked...he said no...the consequences should be on him. That was pretty much the final straw for me with the RCC. Oldest was christened by a Presby minister whose son was a friend. The other two are on their own, I guess.

Current church thinking is that it is likely that unbaptized infants go to heaven just the same, because they would have agreed to baptism if they were able to understand how important it was.

Of course they don't. The idea of limbo was concocted in order to get round this very problem: Apart from original sin, infants are sinless (they're done nothing to warrant hell). But because of original sin, they can't go to heaven, either.

You don't think Church follows Deuteronomy 23:2 "A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD" and that's why it refuses to baptize and bury infants out of wedlock?

Now, of course, the Church says that unbaptized infants go to heaven.

It was more a punishment for the parents than for the child.

No. They were buried in unconsecrated ground because illegitimate children can’t be baptized. They went to limbo, not hell.

Well if the church doesn't want to bury them into a christian graveyard (consecrated soil) doesn't that mean that they see the babies as guilty?

I'm not sure of the finer points of this particular dogma, but I think it's unlikely that the church condemns sinless infants to hell.

Being born out of wedlock and being not being buried in consecrated soil aren't sins.

Back in the day unbaptized babies were thrown into limbo and, of course, a baby born out of wedlock was bound to fall into that category - my oldest for example. Then the RCC did away with limbo...George Carlin did a skit where he said he hoped those babies got promoted. I don't remember it being addressed.

Christians, How old is the youngest person in “hell”? For instance, all babies born out of wedlock were denied funerals in church graveyards.

I once concocted a peanut butter omelet. I don’t recommend it.

Try scrambled eggs with tiny brine shrimp, if you like fish in your eggs.

One of the yummiest things I've eaten was a scrambled egg and sardine sandwich.

That sounds gross, but I've tried weirder things and found them yummy

I like to eat a fresh baked sweet potato with peanut butter. I call it the G.W. Carver Special!
