Shocking moment priest pulls baby's head back while pouring holy water at baptism
A priest has gone viral in Brazil after he was seen in a video pulling a one-year-old baby's head while baptizing him.
The bizarre scene took place at the Parish of São Sabestião on Saturday while families gathered to celebrate the Christian rite.
Juliane and her family were angered by Father Pinheiro's behavior and called on the church to open an investigation, according to Brazilian news outlet G1.
'We are angry, we feel powerless,' she said. 'We don't understand how someone who was supposed to be the representative of the word can act like this towards such an innocent being. I want justice! This cannot go unpunished.'
Her sister and the baby's godmother, Symone, accused the priest of showing less compassion toward Jhullie in comparison with the other children who were baptized.
'At that moment we did not have the attitude to take measures and contain him right there because there were other children being baptized,' she said. 'Ant their baptisms were carried out with all the care and patience, totally different from baptism of our little Jhullie. If we can call it a baptism.'

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
