From someone with 20+ years of experience, if you want to avoid these long drawn out threads about so-called "baptism of desire", as soon as a BODers starts a thread to teach people about baptism of desire, just ask them one question, and repeat it a few times by cutting and pasting. That is how I got rid of the biggest BOD poster in Cathinfo history, Lover of Truth, a perfect example of a false BODer who hid behind baptism of desire of the catechumen.
QUESTION:
Just tell me one thing, is the discussion about baptism of desire of the catechumen, the catechumen who is on the way to be baptized and gets run over by a truck? Are you one of those few honest BODers that limits his belief to BOD of the catechumen of St. Thomas Aquinas? Or are you just one of the legion of sophists false BODers that believes Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, indeed people in any religion (that have no explicit desire to be Catholic, or baptized, or belief in the Incarnation or the Holy Trinity)?
