The church clearly teaches that baptism is a necessity for salvation, which is why infants are baptized.. FALSE, and not only false but EASILY ascertainable as false. EASILY!

The appearance of contradiction in the CCC is USUALLY resolved by further inquiry. I simply will not give the paragraph citation, but if any of you all, rather than speculating and charging us with the results of your guesses, would actually consult the INDEX (for crying out loud) of the CCC he would find where the topic is addressed.

This is not done in the dark or in a corner. It's in the index!

Clearly the rewards of making unfounded charges which might be wrong are more attractive to you all than the rewards of knowing the truth and acting in it.

Theological query: If someone claims to love Him who is the Truth and yet neglects care in finding the small-t truth, what sort, if any, of love are we talking about?

IF it is so easily found, why can not any of you highly educated Catholics spell it out for us??? Baptism is a major doctrine...One would think you guys wouldn't have to locate a specific paragraph, just tell us what it says...

If you get sick on a fast moving

don't go there. Any conclusion you come to is because you were poorly catechized.
