Naturally it was an internal Italian matter but I'm still puzzled why the pope would acknowledge the validity of an infant baptism performed by a serving wench with no say in the child's education
afaik papist policy is to refuse baptism to any child whose family refuses to raise it in the roman catholic church

probably wasn't clear, there is policy and canon law and then there is sacraments/validity which are related but distinct questions

you're right, if the Mortaras had asked for baptism for the son without intending to raise him Catholic, they would have been refused, but that wasn't what happened
