Yes. The doctrine is called "Infant Damnation." To be fair, Catholicism (at least the mainstream kind) isn't comfortable with the idea of God sending babies that young to Hell, and the Catechism's official statement is they generally hope God does the right thing. Honestly, I think it's as much an initiation ritual as anything else.

Yeah, kinbd of hard to give praise to a deity that sends people to hell for sudden infant death syndrome.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

I was baptized at an early age. Mom says I cried during the whole process.

What is important is that I am saved?!? I remember shit, but some dude splashed water on me, according with my mother, doing some sort of hocus pocus. I had bad and good moments in my life, like everyone else, but at least I am saved from the catholic god.

This scene never gets old:

Good. It was clearly past due.

Given the decline of the RCC in France, I can understand retaining senile priests, on their part. I never slapped my kids in the face. I may have hugged them when they were upset, but I don't want to destroy my image on this site as a hard ass. Rolleyes
