It was so sad and shameful that a couple of Prottys beat you to a pulp because you don't know what the teaching of the Church is, as usual, in this case, on Unbaptised Infants, and your most pathetic suggestion to IGNORE "nihil obstat". What a joke

The Catholic Church has declared no infallible teaching on unbaptised infants!

In the particular case, a priest had issued a nihil obstat over the suggestion that the souls of unbaptized infants are in hell.

Technically, since there's no infallible teaching of the Church on the fate of unbaptized infants, that nihil obstat could be issued.

Realistically, however, to teach that the souls of unbaptized infants are in hell is ridiculous.

You don't know what you're talking about, do you?

You are a real joke!

OrthodoxPresbyterian did not say what you said. You can't even quote accurately, or that you deliberately CHANGED the words and jump to your own conclusion because you really don't know what the Church teaches.

This is what OrthodoxPresbyterian quoted EXACTLY ..... "We Must Conclude That Unbaptized Infants Do Not Enjoy The Beatific Vision In Heaven" -- Hey, folks, as your friendly neighborhood Roman Catholic Vicar-General... howzabout I stamp this with a Nihil Obstat, my authoritative Magisterial declaration that this Teaching is "totally free from error"?!

"Do Not Enjoy The Beatific Vision In Heaven" does NOT necessarily mean YOUR INTERPRETATION of "souls of unbaptized infants are in hell."

It is YOU who don't know the teachings of the Church, while OrthodoxPresbyterian had quoted properly the VG taught is True.

I suggest you go see Bishop Bruskewitz first before embarrassing yourself further, sinky.
