Preist slaps crying baby in the face at baptism

I’m posting this not becsuse I think it’s going to generate any kind of meaty dialogue about a particular subject, but because I feel like I need someone else to see it also, so that I don’t feel so alone with this pain that I have now for having witnessed it. Ugh... I wonder, did the parents hesitate because they were processing the shock of it? Or, because he’s a priest? Be warned...it’s difficult to watch. I wish I hadn’t. 😞

What can go wrong with waterboarding a baby?
The baby would have really been screaming if he had been circumcised with a rock like Zipporah did to her son in Exodus 4:25.

It’s so awful. The baby was clearly already terrified of what was going on. And his own mother makes no move to take him, or comfort him. It makes me feel sick.

Child sacrifices, a great tradition.

The guy trying to pull the kid back is likely the god father for the little boy. I probably would have slapped the priest. I had a pretty hot temper (still do) and if I were to see that happen it'd get ugly. My wife is a real spitfire. She might have beat me to the...punch, priest or not.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

That is tough to watch, I am glad I wasn't in that situation, I'm afraid I might have thrown a punch at that old man.

The nature of the believer/ clergy relationship is one of subservience. The fact that the parents did not punch the priest out is evidence of that!
