He lives according to his conscience and to the laws which God has put into his heart. He can be in the state of grace, and if he dies in this state of grace, he will go to heaven.” (The Angelus, “A Talk Heard Round the World,” April, 2006, p. 5.) --------------------------------------------------------- So much for desire to be baptized
There you have it. This isn’t even baptism of desire anymore. There are so many heresies implicit in that statement, where does one even begin? Moral relativism in “following ones conscience”, the denial of the need to already be in a state of sanctifying grace in order to keep the “laws which God has put in his heart”, the ignoring of the doctrine of original sin, and the making of baptism redundant, for the translation it is supposed to effect apparently occurs in life before the actual reception of the sacrament!
If following ones conscience and keeping the law were sufficient for sanctification, all persons below the age of reason would be living in a state of grace as a vacuous truth!
