What do you make of this quote:
"The Church recieved from the Apostles the tradition of giving Baptism even to infants. For the Apostles, to whom were committed the secrets of divine mysteries, knew that there is in everyone the innate stains of sin, which must be washed away through water and the Spirit."-Origen 2nd centuryI make out of it that it is written 170 years after Christs death,without infallible scripitual support. I see it as self serving retrospect.
