Great.  Thanks.  We're all aware of the passage.  We don't agree with your interpretation of it.  Remove the English comma before "or the desire thereof" and then you get closer to how we read this.

Also, this has nothing to do with Feeneyism (as called out by the OP), since Father Feeney rightly points out that this passage is speaking justification and not of salvation.

And in case you think Father Feeney invented the distinction, there were post-Tridentine theologians who held that infidels, for instance, could be justified but not saved.  St. Ambrose, in the famous Valentinian passage, holds that those who desire Baptism could be "washed" (aka justified) but not "crowned" (aka saved).

It's funny how St. Alphonsus, a lot smarter than you read this passage as proving Baptism of Desire, and the reason why he labelled BOD as de fide! 

Don't risk your salvation for novelty!  Just obey the Church and believe. It's so easy.  Pride is a nasty sin. 

On August 8, 1949 — almost four months after the silencing of Father Feeney — the Holy Office issued a docuмent, a letter addressed to the Archbishop of Boston and signed by Cardinal Marchetti-Selvaggiani, known as Protocol No. 122/49.*


On September 3, 1949, this Protocol was published in part in The Pilot, the official news organ of the Archdiocese of Boston.

Three years later, on September 4, 1952, it was published in full in The Pilot under cover of an explanatory memorandum from Archbishop Cushing.

It's funny how St. Alphonsus, a lot smarter than you read this passage as proving Baptism of Desire, and the reason why he labelled BOD as de fide! 

Don't risk your salvation for novelty!  Just obey the Church and believe. It's so easy.  Pride is a nasty sin. 

This is an example of how you misread and leap to conclusions, following up on the Dimonds. It's the same modus operandi. I'll address this more in the relevant threads.

This is the kind of arrogant crap we see from these types (and he's too much of a coward to put his name to the posts).  St. Alphonsus does not equal the Church.  But you're likely just another depraved EENS-denying heretic who tries to pretends that "the Church" promotes his heresies, but since you post Anonymous like some coward, I have no way to confirm or deny that.

There are other theologians who disagree with St. Alphonsus on lots of individual points, including St. Peter Canisius, also a Doctor of the Church, the difference being that St. Peter was actually AT Trent and directly involved in it.

Unlike St. Alphonsus, St. Peter Canisius was in fact a theologian at Trent (spoke twice during the Council and was involved in everything that took place there).  He saw no teaching of "Baptism of Desire" in Trent, and it can be proved a dozen different ways that there was no such teaching.

Ordinarily They Are Not Baptised At Once


On adults, however, the Church has not been accustomed to confer the Sacrament of Baptism at once, but has
ordained that it be deferred for a certain time. The delay is not attended with the same danger as in the case of
infants, which we have already mentioned; should any unforeseen accident make it impossible for adults to be
washed in the salutary waters, their intention and determination to receive Baptism and their repentance for past
sins, will avail them to grace and righteousness.

On the contrary, It is written (John 3:5): "Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." Again it is stated in De Eccl. Dogm. xli, that "we believe the way of salvation to be open to those only who are baptized."


I answer that, Men are bound to that without which they cannot obtain salvation. Now it is manifest that no one can obtain salvation but through Christ; wherefore the Apostle says (Romans 5:18): "As by the offense of one unto all men unto condemnation; so also by the justice of one, unto all men unto justification of life." But for this end is Baptism conferred on a man, that being regenerated thereby, he may be incorporated in Christ, by becoming His member: wherefore it is written (Galatians 3:27): "As many of you as have been baptized in Christ, have put on Christ." Consequently it is manifest that all are bound to be baptized: and that without Baptism there is no salvation for men.
