I apologize, but yes you are right about the “personal guilt” comment. Augustine, Luther, Calvin and others did hold that but Catholics reject it. vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p1s2c1p7.htmThe Catholic Church
Even if you don’t recognize it, you definitely buy into the Baptist argument against infant baptism. I pray for your return to the Church
- doesn’t teach we are “guilty” of original sin.
- teaches baptism is necessary for EVERYONE…that means infants too.
So for that, I do apologize because I was wrong, plain and simple.
As this article explains, however, the Catholic Church has pronounced the “personal guilt” of Adam imputed onto infants in councils and has held at several points in history (which is why I thought they still held it) that Adam’s guilt was transferred to infants as well. Since Vatican I, however, that has not been the case apparently.
