  • Has anyone read anything about why the (few) Church Fathers who did hold BOD did not simply resolve the "dilemma" of a Catechumen dying without the Sacrament by suggesting that God could send and angel or saint from heaven to administer the sacrament?
    I've read this theory from modern "Feeneyites" but I am surprised by its apparent omission by the Fathers. I do believe Ladislaus said one Father suggested that an angel would pronounce the form of baptism for BOB, though
    John 15:19  If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
