Let's at least make sure the experience is less traumatic. The broader issue you're raising is unlikely to gain political traction in the foreseeable future, unfortunately.

For sure. As a parent going through 3 of these baptisms was a truly nerve wrecking experience. For my wife, being a catholic, it was a shock (the first one, the others just a horror show). But yeah... this ain't changing any time soon.

Wait till you discover babies are operated on without anaesthetic.

So yeah, definitely not just the Churches that have a problem with babies. It's our whole culture.

Baby-dunking priest videos are a kind of Twitter subgenre though:https://twitter.com/coco_ortiz12/status/848002608774037504?s=19 …

Creepy in and of itself. Genuinely I'm not that upset about the act itself. The Church has so so so much more awful stuff to answer for.

It's awful, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't harm the baby. The teachings of the Church and its effect on society, especially in Cyprus, do demonstrably harm the baby.

I've been baptised in a cute church in Old Nicosia. Somehow managed to get the name Olivia too, even though it's not Church aproved.

Priests who violently dunk babies should be fired though. But I'm assuming it's not a job?

It's a job. They get paid. From us, the tax paying citizens.
