Johnny: What do you think about abortion?
Jenny: I don’t even want to get into it. It’s too complicated.
Almost five years ago I re-committed my life to Jesus Christ after a powerful experience in the Sacrament of Reconciliation and returned to the Catholic Church after a several years of absence and skepticism.
One afternoon, not long after my re-version to Catholicism, I found myself in a conversation trying to defend Catholic tradition and in particular, the papacy, to an evangelical Protestant friend. I failed miserably. Although I was still filled with a kind of “new convert zeal” I just couldn’t find the words to answer his questions and objections sufficiently on the spot. It was a deflating experience.
Where does the Bible condemn infant baptism? My answer is nowhere. But a first premise is useless without supporting evidence. Bearing this in mind, let’s start by considering whether there is good evidence for some Christians to oppose the baptism of infants and small children.
