[Mrs. Don-o]

I have a MD friend who served in a Catholic pediatric hospital in the Dominican Republic. When she got some pushback from an Apostolic Nuncio about chaplaincy staffing, she ended up regularly baptizing sick kids herself.

Which is ABSOLUTELY canonically sound, bishop or no bishop.

I wish more of the faithful were willing to (when necessary) ignore the bishop and defend the Faith.

We revel in the stories of saintly priests who sacrificed their lives for souls. Not so much anymore. We don’t expect sacrifices from anyone, even those who pledge themselves to God.
