(Dr. Eckleburg) "...Roman Catholic infant baptism which purports to (only temporarily) erase original sin..."
False:
For the forgiveness of sins . . .
1263 By Baptism all sins are forgiven, original sin and all personal sins, as well as all punishment for sin.66 In those who have been reborn nothing remains that would impede their entry into the Kingdom of God, neither Adam's sin, nor personal sin, nor the consequences of sin, the gravest of which is separation from God.
THERE IS NO CATHOLIC TEACHING WHICH IS SO CLEAR IT CANNOT BE DENIED, MODIFIED, OR REINTERPRETED AS REQUIRED. FURTHER, CATHOLIC APOLOGISTS ARE EXPECTED TO SPIN AND DOUBLETALK IN ORDER TO "PROTECT" THE SPIN.
1037 God predestines no one to go to hell; for this, a willful turning away from God (a mortal sin) is necessary, and persistence in it until the end. In the Eucharistic liturgy and in the daily prayers of her faithful, the Church implores the mercy of God, who does not want "any to perish, but all to come to repentance":
Father, accept this offering
from your whole family.
Grant us your peace in this life,
save us from final damnation,
and count us among those you have chosen.
What is required is a new Catholic Dictionary definition of "temporary".

You need to calm down.
Nothing in CCC 1037 contradicts the fact that the forgiveness and erasure of original sin at Baptism is permanent, not temporary, in contrast to her claim: ...which purports to (only temporarily) erase original sin....
THERE IS NO CATHOLIC TEACHING WHICH IS SO CLEAR IT CANNOT BE DENIED, MODIFIED, OR REINTERPRETED AS REQUIRED BY ANTI-CATHOLIC BIGOTS WHO WISH TO DENIGRATE, DEPRECATE, DISTORT AND DEFAME THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND HER TEACHINGS.
