@Sharon_Kuruvila @catholickungfu Right, but Baptism isn’t *just* about original sin. I’d say it’s still worth it


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

@catholickungfu @Sharon_Kuruvila Well, if baptism is the sacrament that, in addition to healing original sin, initiates us into the life of the Church and the Trinity, why should it end?

@catholickungfu Well... The head of the Vatican observatory put out a book in which he addresses the question of baptizing aliens (he would) so there’s likely good logic there.
