The baby might have been a metaphor for original sin.

I didn't notice that the baby had hair on his back. And someone here mentioned that after Jesus' death on the cross Satan started screaming and looked like James Carvile. When I saw that scene in the movie all I could think of was James Carvile going nuts.

When I first saw it, I thought it was the Devil's way of mocking Mary and Jesus--the Devil holding his baby--the anti-Christ. The Devil was a great effect in the movie. Really made you think.

The Devil mocking Madonna and Child.

That's what I thought as well.

Hee, hee. Maybe it's a preview of what James Carville's demeanor will be on November 3, 2004.

Looks like a satanic version of "mini me".

Did the baby have a trash can over his head?

I've only seen stills from the movie, but I think Gibson got Satan exactly right - he looks exactly like a corrupted angel.

"...40-year-old 'baby' with hair on his back..."

Was it Rocky Balboa's kid from "Rocky II"?

OK. The actor playing the baby is a midget named Davide Moratta, who has previously played other "demon children" in Italian horror films, most notably "Creepers", which was one of the first starring roles for Jennifer Connelly.
