Application of Pope Pius IX’s Principleto the Teaching of these Theologians

1. General Principle (from Pius IX, sect. I: II-III above):

All Catholics are obliged to adhere to a teaching if Catholic theologians hold it by common consent, or hold it as de fide, or Catholic doctrine, or theologically certain.

2. Particular Fact (from sects. III, IV above, as docuмented in dossier):

But, Catholic theologians do hold the teaching on baptism of desire and baptism of blood by common consent, or hold it as de fide, or Catholic doctrine, or theologically certain.

3. Conclusion (1 + 2):

Therefore, all Catholics are obliged to adhere to the teaching on baptism of desire and baptism of blood.
"I receive Thee, redeeming Prince of my soul. Out of love for Thee have I studied, watched through many nights, and exerted myself: Thee did I preach and teach. I have never said aught against Thee. Nor do I persist stubbornly in my views. If I have ever expressed myself erroneously on this Sacrament, I submit to the judgement of the Holy Roman Church, in obedience of which I now part from this world." Saint Thomas Aquinas the greatest Doctor of the Church

  • Degree of Error and the Gravity of the Sin if You Reject Baptism of Desire, Baptism of Blood
     
    Each theological “category” has a corresponding theological censure attached to it which expresses the degree of error into which someone has fallen by denying a particular teaching.

    Below are the various categories theologians attributed to baptism of desire and baptism of blood, along with the corresponding censures and a note on the gravity of the sin committed.  See http://www.traditionalmass.org/images/articles/BaptDes-Proofed.pdf regarding how all who deny BOB/D are in mortal sin.
