Is there a way for newborn babies to avoid hell if they die before they are baptized?
Catholic Church: "God I hope so."
CCC 1261 As regards children who have died without Baptism, the Church can only entrust them to the mercy of God, as she does in her funeral rites for them. Indeed, the great mercy of God who desires that all men should be saved, and Jesus' tenderness toward children which caused him to say: "Let the children come to me, do not hinder them," allow us to hope that there is a way of salvation for children who have died without Baptism.
Totally irrelevant. LOL. Desperation.
I can't help it if you were as usual an incompetent amateur RCIA employee.
We're talking about ADULT RATIONAL educated sincere atheists who have according to the CCC complete freedom of conscience.
Not babies.
Do try to keep up here.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
