I know the feeling.
I had a difficult labor. My son swallowed amniotic fluid and was kept in the neo-natal intensive care. Although I was in a religious-based hospital, they kept saying baptism wasn't necessary. I was at my wits' end. After 12 years of Catholic school, I didn't know what I'd do if he died w/o being baptized.
They finally sent me a priest who talked to the doctors and said my son's problems were momentary and due to the birth, nothing long term (the docs could have said that, but that would have been too much like right, huh?). I didn't need an emergency baptism in the hospital, we could do it later. Whew.
Fastforward 12+ years later, I converted to Judaism and can't even fathom the idea of original sin or God punishing a little baby by sending it to Limbo. I'm glad the Church may be getting rid of the concept.
I can see why you were so upset...after years of being taught and believing in a particular religion, its hard to question those beliefs...
I am glad that both and your baby were ok, as swallowing amniotic fluid, can sometimes be life threatening...thankfully for you, and for your sweet baby son, all ended well...I am so glad that it did...
Just curious. Did your conversion require you to deny Jesus Christ as the Messiah?
