Catholic Crisis! A preist has sent thousands to Hell by saying "We baptize" instead of "I baptize".

[Towlie]

The Vatican instructs priests to say, “I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,” but a priest incorrectly substituted “we” for “I,” the church said.

The Rev. Andres Arango was leading a baptism at St. Gregory Catholic Church in Phoenix last year when some people in the pews heard a slight variation in the religious ritual.

“We baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,” Father Arango said, his voice echoing in the church as he poured the holy water.

But there was a problem.

Saying “we baptize” was incorrect. The Vatican instructs priests to say “I baptize,” and if it is not said that way the baptism is deemed invalid.

Church leaders investigated and determined last month that Father Arango had incorrectly performed thousands of baptisms over more than 20 years, meaning those he had baptized in Phoenix and at his previous parishes in Brazil and San Diego were not properly baptized.

Clearly the being credited with creation of the Universe must be very upset about this, and will no doubt severely punish those who, many as babies, chose an incompetent priest to carry out their baptism.

In the Catholic faith, a baptism is a sacrament in which people, often infants, have water poured over their foreheads, symbolizing purification and admission to the Church. It is a “requirement for salvation,” according to the diocese.

An eternity in Hell is too good for these baby sinners!
