Ah, so your lies have been caught out. All you're saying is that cognizant Catholic parents are subjected to rules. Good, I say. Why not? But a godmother or godfather standing quietly by, who might me offended at the parents, can still baptize that baby at their own place and time. Good, again.

And you guys kill me. If you were intelligent enough to know that F. Scott Fitzgerald was allowed to be reburied in consecrated ground, you would still be horrified at bigoted Catholics for originally denying him burial in consecrated ground. You're guys are all over the place.

I do not think these babies should not have been baptized in consecrated ground.

I do not deny that the nuns and everyone working with these women and babies might have been awful people, acting outside of the Church.

I am simply pointing out the rules and rites of the Church especially in practice in the days this place was active.

There is invariably a scream out of how the Church is exclusive. It is not exclusive. Anyone who wants to join, can easily find out what the rules are and join, and follow the laws.

Or they can start their own Church with its won rules.

If you want to be in the Church and demand rule changes, fine, but that’s not the Church.

I do not lie.

But I am always prepared to take such insults when I point out a Church teaching.

What is an offended godparent?

No idea
