I doubt seriously that anyone would write that this situation ‘sounds bizarre’. This seems to me to be like ask the mullah or dear ann landers. Why not just ask a general question about children and baptism rather than putting words in a nonexistent person’s mouth?
The way i understand it is that infant Baptism is only a christening and not a baptism in the Church.
A person must decide for them selves if they want to be a part of the Church.
Jesus was Christened as an infant, but close to thirty years old before he was baptized, aside from Jesus many young people do not know what they really believe even at that age, and some much older.
How old are the kids?
3-4-5 priest should go with parents wishes
13-14-15 let kids make up thir own mind
Short answer: If they’re old enough that they could make First Communion if they were baptized already, they’re old enough to make their own decision to be baptized, and go through (I know this is going to sound strange, but go with it) RCIA adapted for kids.
I know this because I’m an adult catechumen right now and my parish has a separate RCIA class going for the kids.
Not bizarre. Infant baptism is for infants. Adults must ask for baptism on their own. The official church reply makes sense.
Interesting that you only post this one person’s material:
