While I would love to discuss both the IC of Mary and the history of infant baptism, I find that I don't have the time to expound upon them in the near future. I'll be unavailable for the next week or so because I'm involved in working with our Patriots group for town halls this spring and summer heading into the elections in November.

This does not mean that I'll not keep track of you all in this discussion - just that I'll not be able to respond. I wish you all good luck and best wishes in your discussions. May the spirit of God be with you all in this work.

Ken

PS: Cronos, I'll be watching for your response on substantiating that the early church believed in the IC of Mary, or that they prayed to her for intersession. Good luck.

I already referred you to Ireneus, Cyprian, etc. — you can read them and you will find that these early Christians taught the Catholic faith. Ditto for Origen and Augustine who were very clear that infant baptism was practised in the EArly Church. The latter was also clear that it was wrong to deny infant baptism.
