The Gospel: "Jesus answered: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." John 3:5

I don't see any room for BOD in that statement. The same statement from Our Lord used to contextualize the same definition of Trent that is abused by BOD advocates.
Indeed.

And that is not a mere statement, that is Divine Revelation, a truth revealed by God Himself. Again, how is it that Catholic people are able to read that and at the same time believe a BOD - *and* condemn as heretics those who believe this Revelation?

What is it that goes on in their mind?

Actual heresy has that effect. It blinds them to the Truth.



I must commend your great faith, where given that your father who passed away was Jєωιѕн, you nevertheless have not had a knee-jerk emotional reaction to rally behind the notion of BoD.  I believe that many of the most ardent proponents of BoD are motivated by emotional considerations and not by faith and reason.  
I find it even harder with my mother, but she's still alive, so I continue to pray daily for her conversion before her death...that she explicitly request baptism to me [because quite honestly that's the only way I see it happening given the people around her].

What "heresy" is that exactly?

True, yet aside from a BOD, they profess the Catholic faith - so I would not say *they* are heretics, rather simply mistaken. I would say they are heretics as my personal opinion, if they persist in promoting the idea as LOT did a few years ago when he blindly flooded the place with BOD propaganda for months. That was really something. I thought he flipped his lid or something for a while - it was that extreme.
