Vow = a solemn promise, pledge, or personal commitment (I will do all I can to receive Baptism)

Desire = to wish or long for; crave; want (I want to receive Baptism. I crave Baptism. I wish to receive Baptism. I long for Baptism.)

If you see a significant difference, let me know.

The Fathers at Lateran, Constance, Florence, and Trent, when they specified votum with respect to Baptism had nothing in common with the modernist heretics that began swarming the Vatican in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Note that Lateran IV, Vienne and Florence made no mention at all of votum.

The Trent mentions votum, saying explicitly that justification cannot take place without it. In the same decree as it states it cannot take place without the laver of regeneration. It does not even approach to saying that justification CAN take place with only one or the other and to assert otherwise is just plain distortion.

Excellent point. Point is, Baptism is absolutely necessary for salvation. One cannot receive Baptism without the vow for it. It cannot be accepted "implicitly" or "unconsciousnessly," and it is heresy to say otherwise. The Church was absolutely clear about this.

This is wrong. The SACRAMENT is not ABSOLUTELY necessary in all cases.

Supernatural Faith AND charity are required and have been at ALL times, for salvation. The sacraments were not (before they even existed) and are not today in ALL cases.

I will let CM have this one! Just curious, SJB, are you male or female? I need to know this so that I may tailor the "tone" of my response.

Why don't you just make your argument? A novel approach, for sure...

Btw, I thought you were a female...why do you think that is? :)

There is a difference. A vow is an intent to do something. A desire can be a mere wish to do something. Consider the following:

1) I vow to go to Disney World.

2) I desire that I could go to Disney World.

Nowhere, in any of the Nicene and pre-Nicene Fathers, the Doctors of the Church, the Popes, and the Councils of the Church will you find anything that says that faith in Jesus Christ can be implicit and/or unconscious or that anything other than Baptism or at least the vow for it is sufficient for eternal life.

Show me otherwise, and I will believe. Until then, I have no choice but to conclude that the 1949 letter from the Holy Office is heretical, based upon the theological novelties of Catholic liberalism that arose, not from Divine Revelation, but from the deistic philosophy of the Enlightenment.

Only Catholics will be saved. Period. All others will be damned, unless, they, "before the end of life", are joined to the Church, which is the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ.

I do not need to make any arguments. Holy Mother Church has spoken, definitively, on this issue. You need to play "word games" with the texts to make your heretical ideas "fit." By the way, here is my first post:

Hi Everyone!

My first post. Seems that the modern Church does not believe that infant baptism is necessary for salvation, but for those of us who still believe in that, here is my question, "Does it not make sense to baptize an infant right after birth?" My wife and I have four children. My first two were baptized in a conservative Norvus Ordo church, my third by an SSPX priest; however, my fourth child was baptized by me within an hour or so after birth. I was very, very careful to use the correct matter and form.

So, what do you think? If an infant's salvation is wholly and entirely dependent on Baptism, then why not baptize immediately after birth? Was not this the practice for centuries?

Blessings,

Don

Do you think "Don" is a girl's name? Look it up, something novel for you to do!

Maybe I didn't read your first post...did you ever think of that? I formed my opinion by the content of your posts that I actually read.

In danger of death, this is appropriate. Otherwise, it is definitely not. I don't know the situation, but did you then take the child to a priest?
