Wow the ignorance is unbelievable.

There are different censures that theologians and Popes have given to different errors, and people would know this having read parts of Denzinger (don’t use the modernist Karl Rahner version). 

To name a few, there is heresy, error, and offensive to pious ears. There are also theological conclusions which are the conclusions of taking different dogmas into consideration, and coming to a resolution concerning them. 

Heresy is denying an article of Faith, or dogma; something that has been defined by the Church as such. Error is not quite a dogma but would be a mortal sin to deny (doctrine on guardian angels may fall under this category). Offensive to pious ears is self explanatory. This is all easy to verify online.

Just answer the question:

Can a man enter the Kingdom of God who has not been born again of water and the Holy Ghost? Yes or no?
It's YOU who is not answering the question of whether or not you reject Baptism of Desire.

Are you committing the mortal sin of rejecting it...

And once again, I always hear, "The Catechism says..."  Here is a Christian Brothers Catechism # 1, and no mention of BOD.  It says that Baptism "is absolutely necessary for salvation." Printed in 1937.  I posted the pics as attachments.  I can show you several old catechisms which make no mention of BOD.

BoD is an error and hence there is no sin in denying it.

We have already established that if someone truly desires baptism and there is no one else to baptize them, God will simply send an angel to baptize them before their death as St Thomas Aquinas said.

"Baptism of desire" is merely a semantic confusion.

All of those fairytales about implicit faith or baptism of desire come from the idea that God, who is infinitely Just, wouldn't let someone go to hell through no fault of their own. 

God isn't limited by what can be seen with the human eye. In the end, all this debate on BOD is a complete waste of time based on semantics.
