I can't judge the particular case. But without reference to that, it general back-and-forth sounds to me like this:

"This is the most poorly-catechized generation in the history of the Church. Why don't our priests teach actual Catholic Doctrine, fer chrissakes?!"

"Well, we're going to have instruction before every Sacrament."

"What?? Fuggedaboudit! The nerve! Who do you think you are?"

Looks to me like you are really stretching for the least charitable interpretation.

It is wrong to deny an infant the sacrament of Baptism because the heirarchy are adhering mindlessly to a one-size-fits-all bureaucratic regulation.

That’s it. It’s as straightforward as that. Infants do pass away, God forbid, and then it’s too late.

You are almost right about one thing, though: I mistrust their orthodoxy.
