I was more so wondering if the Catholic faith put him losing the baby down to some religious context as a punishment maybe? I don’t claim to be an expert in the Catholic faith but I know enough that if the child isn’t christened, it’s thought that the child’s soul goes to neither heaven nor hell and remains in purgatory, is that about right?

Hmmm
My living child isn’t being baptized, if that helps answer your query

If you planned on baptizing your child, than it is assumed God would show mercy and not keep their soul in purgatory.

Catechism 1257
“Baptism is necessary for salvation for those to whom the Gospel has been proclaimed and who have had the possibility of asking for this sacrament.”

So this could be a viewed as a punishment for Des’ refusal to baptise his seed despite his Catholic upbringing?

savage

I wouldn't say so.

His unborn child would still have had the ability to have the gospel proclaimed to them and would have had the ability to accept it.

People can be baptized at any point and on free will.

If the punishment was enacted before the crime
Which I suppose fits in with the tenets of Christianity

I think Baptised and Christened are two different (though similar) things bro

If you were baptised in a Baptist church, then became Catholic, you would need to be Christened in the Catholic Church again maybe?

Nah, christening and baptism are the same thing

What Des said but also yes to your second question.

It would be insulting for me to take communion at a baptist church and the other way around.

No.

Christening happens at Baptism

For the sake of talking to a non-christian its the same thing.

Lmao
Ok veritas
Sorry for combining sacraments
To me, it’s all the same because it’s equally inane

My wife’s Irish and her families catholic

If we said we were getting the baby baptised it wouldn’t go down wel

I know that much lol

Catholics still call it baptism though
Like, Jesus was baptized
John the BAPTIST?
It’s not John the Christener

God forgives all, he does not punish.

The devil punishes.

I'm full on catholic and we call is baptism. Our Catholic priest called it that, as well.

Totes like that whole Noah thing

My family and my wife's are Catholic

When we said we weren't getting him baptized it didn't go down well

But not because of wording you donut

lmao you prolly had donuts at your baptism

fuck you

Yo, if there were donuts, I might reconsider
