...you can tell the priest that you also confess any sins that I cannot remember right now. Sins of omission or commission that have not come to mind. We are forgiven of those sins, although with the caveat that we confess them if we remember them. Obviously, this doesn't count for those we remember but don't want to tell!

OK, very fair enough! :)

Religion can be an interesting discussion!

Indeed, yes, and thank you for your kind words. My two favorite topics of discussion just happen to be the "forbidden" ones. :)

There is NO writing against the practice [of infant baptism]. As a matter of fact, in the 200's, their is complaints that children had to wait for 8 days to be baptized (as per circumcision)!

I agree that I am unaware of any writing against it. I suppose it all goes back to whether it is ........ (quick, what's another word for "efficacious"?) :)

Thank you very much for your answers to all of my other questions. God bless.
