January 2, 2012 – Catechism 1226 – 1233

Infant baptism is something that is discussed a lot. Many say it is not biblical, yet in these paragraphs it talks about the verses in which entire families were baptized. This does not exclude the children, even the youngest. True, it does not specifically list all the children, but it doesn’t list all the women either. I cannot think of a single woman who is baptized. That doesn’t mean that women cannot be baptized, but if you think not listing infant baptism in the Bible means the Bible restricts it, you could make the same argument for women, which would be ludicrous.

Secondly, Christ calls us to be childlike, He called the Children to Him, and the most innocent and in tune with God that we are is in our youngest ages. Why would we keep them from the grace of Baptism. Just a couple of thoughts on infant baptism.
