Answer 1

i think puts them on stand by

Answer 2

From the Catechism of the Catholic Church:

1250 Born with a fallen human nature and tainted by original sin, children also have need of the new birth in Baptism to be freed from the power of darkness and brought into the realm of the freedom of the children of God, to which all men are called. The sheer gratuitousness of the grace of salvation is particularly manifest in infant Baptism. The Church and the parents would deny a child the priceless grace of becoming a child of God were they not to confer Baptism shortly after birth.

1251 Christian parents will recognize that this practice also accords with their role as nurturers of the life that God has entrusted to them.

1252 The practice of infant Baptism is an immemorial tradition of the Church. There is explicit testimony to this practice from the second century on, and it is quite possible that, from the beginning of the apostolic preaching, when whole "households" received baptism, infants may also have been baptized.

1261 As regards children who have died without Baptism, the Church can only entrust them to the mercy of God, as she does in her funeral rites for them. Indeed, the great mercy of God who desires that all men should be saved, and Jesus' tenderness toward children which caused him to say: "Let the children come to me, do not hinder them," allow us to hope that there is a way of salvation for children who have died without Baptism. All the more urgent is the Church's call not to prevent little children coming to Christ through the gift of holy Baptism.

Answer 4

As regards children who died without Baptism, the Church can only entrust them to the mercy of God, as she does in her funeral rights for them. Indeed the great mercy of God who desires that all men should be saved, and Jesus' tenderness toward children which caused him to say,"Let the children come to me, don't hinder them, allow us to hope that there is a way of salvation for children who have died without Baptism. All the more urgent is the Church's call not to prevent little children coming to Christ through the gift of holy Baptiam.

Answer 5

Catholics do not believe that baptism takes away your sin, they believe that Jesus takes away your sin. Baptism is the most usual vehicle to communicate this grace, but God can choose to work around it.

Answer 6

Babies automatically go to heaven. They do not have to be baptized. They belong to God all the way up until they reach the age of accountibility and know the difference between right and wrong. Then they must accept Jesus as their savior to become born again. Catholics do not teach this. They do not teach the word of God. i am a former catholic, and I know this first hand.

Answer 7

There is no official teaching on that; it is generally believed that an unbaptised innocent goes to limbo, which is a form of hell, in that the soul never sees God, but is not punished for actual sins, since the baby committed none.
We do know that unbaptised (innocent) souls cannot enter Heaven (the presence of God), because they have the stain of original sin on them. (Original sin, as well as death, is passed down to us, from Adam, the first to sin)
Note: Michael H (above) is incorrect. Catholics do believe that baptism washes away sin--both original and actual.
Note: Barb K (above) has little credibility, having thrown over the true faith for a false one.
Another note: Many so-called Christians, claiming to believe the Bible, ignore the Word of God: from Acts 2:38--"But Peter said to them: Do penance: and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins..."
Also: Acts 22:19--"Rise up and be baptized and wash away thy sins, invoking his name..."

Answer 8

The Church's current doctrine regarding baptism is incomplete. It is known that any person in the state of mortal sin or original sin on his/her soul cannont share in the glory of God. Regarding infants, innocent of their sin, it has not been revealed to us what God's great Mercy will do for them. We may never know until we reach heaven ourselves.

you will could connect an RCIA application in a interior sight Catholic church. In my parish I direct the RCIA for babies application. My application is a 2 twelve months application (with summers off). some parishes grant shorter courses. We meet each and every Sunday after attending Mass. the type is lectionary based -- which ability that's based on the readings and Gospel for that Sunday. I spend the 1st a million/2 of the type discussing with the babies the readings that we purely heard at Mass. We reread the readings from our bibles and then we communicate approximately what the readings propose and how they are in a position to be utilized to their on a regular basis lives. the 2nd a million/2 of the type I spend coaching all of them with reference to the Catholic faith. They learn what it ability to be a Catholic. We use books and communicate issues like the sacraments, the Trinity, the life of Jesus, saints, the aspects of the Mass, plus lots extra. you're able to touch the workplace at your interior sight Catholic church and ask them approximately their RCIA application. i'd exceedingly propose finding for a church on your section that provides a application for babies or young ones. Your mum and dad will could be in touch and you will desire a sponsor who's Catholic who will additionally be in touch. i choose you to be responsive to that whether you connect an RCIA team that there is no rigidity to grow to be a Catholic. you could drop out at any time in case you sense that is no longer suitable for you. in case you want to pass via with it you would be completely initiated into the Church, which ability you will receive 3 sacraments -- baptism, affirmation, and Eucharist (Communion) -- all on the Easter Vigil (the evening formerly Easter). i wish this solutions your question. sturdy success and God bless you!

Answer 10

Limbo was suggested as the place where unbaptized babies went when they died. This idea was never official Church doctrine and has be rejected.

The Catholic Church now says that it is not sure what happens to unbaptized babies when they die but she entrusts them to the mercy of God.

With love in Christ.

Answer 11

To heaven. I am not a Christian, so I cannot prove this, but I heard once that if a child dies before he/she learned the difference between right and wrong, the child goes to heaven.
