Again, on Baptism

See all my articles on baptism and confirmation.

Good stuff here, especially with the Anglicans moving away from exorcisms and the renouncing of Satan.

For Catholics.....

the Code of Canon Law states:
Parents are obliged to see that their infants are baptised within the first few weeks. As soon as possible after the birth, indeed even before it, they are to approach the parish priest to ask for the sacrament for their child, and to be themselves duly prepared for it. If the infant is in danger of death, it is to be baptised without any delay. Can. 867 §1,§2
The Catechism states: The Church and parents deny a child the priceless grace of becoming a child of God were they not to confer baptism shortly after birth. (CCC # 1250) 
If parents are not scheduling the baptism of babies within the first few weeks after birth, they are leaving their baby in Original Sin and they are also disobedient to the Church.
