How would y’all feel about the baptism of the child of two Satanists who had no other plans of raising their child except as a Satanist?
Do you not feel it to be a mockery of the Catholic Church and Her Sacraments?
I’m not mocking anything. Should the children bear the sins of the parents?
I honestly can’t answer you completely. About all I can say is that such a baby will need as much help as it can get, and especially that of learning g to know God and to have God in its life. I can’t think of any better or more likely source of this assistance for the child than the Church. I therefore hope the Church would welcome - and not refuse or reject - such a child.
what if their intention is mockery…and in the end the baptized child becomes their salvation. God in his time could use the goodness of this baptized child to initiate a conversion in his parents…with God all things are possible.
It may be a mockery but the child is not the one doing the mocking. Would you deny salvation to the child for the actions of the parents?
If that baby were found abandoned laying in the street would it be OK to baptize it? Then the hearts of the child’s parents would be even more unknowable.
Horrible. However, I don't equate lesbians with Satanists. The former is sinful. The latter is BEYOND blasphemy.

Yes, I do.
God will mete out His justice for them. HE is their judge.
