[Mrs. Don-o]

I have a doctor friend associated with the Catholic Medical Mission Board who served in a Catholic pediatric hospital in the Dominican Republic. When she got some pushback from the corrupt Apostolic Nuncio about chaplaincy staffing, she ended up regularly baptizing sick and dying babies/children 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.

Cardinal Cupich is a stinking heretic. Yes, in an emergency baptism is called for.

My dear deceased father was a graduate of Georgetown University and Georgetown Medical School.

During his stint in OBGBYN as an intern at Walter Reed Hospital, he delivered a newborn, who he realized would die in minutes. He baptized the baby immediately.

But that was back when Georgetown and Jesuits were both Catholic.
