>>The infant Jesus did not save us by His merciful sacrifice on the cross. The man, Jesus Christ, the only “shepherd and bishop of our souls,” gave up His life for His sheep.<<

By that reasoning, the infant Jesus is a separate person from the one on the cross.

That’s odd.

Statements like that are troubling, aren't they? I mean, is it a statement that a true follower of Christ would make? How is the infant Christ not the adult Christ? Think of how quickly our children become adults, who were once babes in arms...the young soldier sacrificing his life for the freedom of an oppressed people halfway around the globe -- to his mother and father is the same babe they watched take his first steps...a parent would know this. Someone who had never borne a child might be ignorant. Someone who thinks Mary and God are just concepts could not see that the infant Christ is the same Christ who died for our sins. Those of us with children know how foolish and cold the strange statement is.

The infant Jesus' blood shed during His circumcision did not save anyone. His blood shed on the cross saved His sheep

The RCC practices a loony superstition which only confuses the Gospel message.

Repent.

“That’s odd.”

That tickled me, the way you said that.
