Hi!
1. Check again about unBaptised children.
2. In our Baptism, a person may be immersed if an adult and the parish has the facilities; otherwise, water is poured over the Catechumen’s head. Sprinkling is for blessings.
3. I am responsible for what I post. If you dislike what a person posted, you may address them personally or contact the RM.
4. I have taken my own share of name-calling on this site, both personally and to my Catholic Faith.
5. Each of us believes that ours is the true belief system. I as a Catholic believe that my Faith comes closest to the truth. Do I believe that everyone else is going to hell? Of course not! God works in each person’s soul differently, and does not wish to lose a single soul, unless that soul uses its free will to go against God.
Hope that clears things up a bit...
I did, and it came up the same. Pope Gregory The Great said that if a child isn't baptized he or she goes to hell when they die.
I don't believe that (neither does Jesus) and if you go back to my post you are replying to you will see my remarks showing how much Jesus loves children, even if the Catholic belief system hasn't put their "mark" on them.
I used the term "sprinkling" because that is indeed how Catholics "baptize" babies. I've seen it with my own eyes.

My post to you was about your comment complaining about other posters "denigrate another's faith" so I felt that opened up the opportunigy to show you how those of your belief system do that quite often.
I think your next statement, If I don't like what another person posted, I can address them personally.
You were probably talking about this comment of mine:
...one highly respected leaders of your belief system says if children are not sprinkled (uses the term baptism, which sprinkling when a baby is NOT) and they die in childhood that God will send them to hell! [I've posted the proof of that recently if you don't believe it]Sorry, Pope Gregory The Great doesn't post here (he's dead) and he is the "highly respected leader of your belief system" to which I was referring.
Plus I don't think any one here is a "leader" of your belief system, but many post like the are! In fact some post like they are the leaders of all Christianity! I LOL when ever I see comments with that pompous superior condescending attitude, trying to get other Christians to capitulate to Catholicism, and be subject to their pope...which is declared that ALL Christians must do. Not!
I have taken my own share of name-calling on this site, both personally and to my Catholic Faith.
Sorry about that, but not from me.
If that bothers you a lot, maybe you are too "thinskinned" for open threads.
Each of us believes that ours is the true belief system. I as a Catholic believe that my Faith comes closest to the truth.
True, Catholicism does come close to the truth.
But adds a lot to it, making it a bit confusing and extra-Biblical.
I am a simple Christian, and Christianity IS the truth, not just close to it.
Do I believe that everyone else is going to hell?
What a question, there is nothing in any of my posts to suggest that I think you believe that. In fact, I don't think anyone seeking God thinks that.
Hope that clears things up a bit
If it makes you feel better, cool.
I saw nothing unclear between you and I.
