I can’t remember where I read this but one religious leader spits in the mouths of babies getting baptized.

I. Can’t. Even.

Mary and Darnley’s son James (the future King James VI of Scotland and I of England) was born on 19 June 1566 at Edinburgh Castle.[34] He was baptised Charles James on 17 December 1566 in a Catholic ceremony held at Stirling Castle.[35] His godparents were Charles IX of France,[36] Elizabeth I of England[37] and Emmanuel Philibert, Duke of Savoy.[36] Mary refused to let the Archbishop of St Andrews, whom she referred to as “a pocky priest”, spit in the child’s mouth, as was then the custom.[3]
