Had a buddy from a big catholic family lose a child soon after.

The padre told them they baby would not go directly to heaven, so at that moment the family became baptist

Case closed

[Mrs. Don-o]

That's shocking. At the very least, the priest should say what the Church says in its funeral Mass for unbaptized children: that we entrust them to the mercy of God.

And that Jesus' tenderness toward children caused him to say: 'Let the children come to me."

I suppose the baby was expected to fork over some dough first if he wanted to get into heaven?
