Baptism of Desire does not include someone else’s desire for another’s baptism. Oh how I wish that were true.
piusv:
No baptism of desire as it is defined by the Catholic Church is for adults, I do understand. So in the context of the two infants in an earlier post, maybe there is a different term that I need to clearly distinguish
There have been in the past some Catholic Theologians who argued that children could be saved, if unbaptized, if their parents desired it (I can’t think of another word) but through no fault of their own, were unable to get a Priest to administer the sacrament, this was similar to what was normative in the OT during Moses time. Again, this is only a theological opinion that was proposed similar to what Saint Augustine proposed in Limbo, although clearly Limbo was the dominant theological position for most of Church History.
