Nobody wants to condemn them. Nor do we want them to do their James Martin march through the Church.

There seems to be a case of extremes on both sides of the issue. You are either for or against. Little is said about those simply seeking understanding but we seem to be thrown in with the judgement and condemnation crowd. I’m sick of it.

There is a dress code and I would, if a priest, make that clear.
The sacrament is mainly for the babies souls.

I have good news about the guy I have been working with, but I pray daily for all.
He left his gay partner and grace is infusing him to 'see' the negativity of that world.
He has since moved in with a Christian family.

He is on SSI and has no money to live alone. But he is opening up to Christianity.

His is a long story.
His mother was into horrible evil stuff while pregnant and she recanted and had him baptized I believe?

Anyway... we must pray for protection over these people. We would like to point fingers, perhaps even condemn them, but the Lord desires mercy because most of the time something happened to them at an innocent time of their lives and He remembers them as babes.

There should also be expectations for behavior, clear ones, ones that don't allow for a LGBTQ hijacking of a baptism.

And of course a solid commitment from those bringing the child to baptism that they will raise the child in the Faith.
