Wouldn't you think that if a FReeper had a problem with the teachings of the Catholic Church on the subject of baptism, it would make more sense to take the information from the source and then tell where it's wrong?
If a FReeper is trying to convince me, as a Catholic, that I'm believing the wrong thing and that I need to change what I believe, it would be a whole lot more likely that I'd take such a strategy far more seriously.
If, on the other hand, a FReeper wanted to engage the "amen" crowd to discuss among themselves how evil and corrupt the Catholic Church is and how, while there may be some limited exceptions, the vast majority of Catholics are going to hell...I'd post something like what was posted in the initial post.
See what I'm saying?
Now if you'd like to engage in a serious discussion about what Catholics believe about Baptism, you can take a look at the 11K words I posted in #4. I'll be happy to engage in such a discussion (iron sharpens iron, after all).
