Please explain the Holy Innocents, Mm. regarding c)
Well, first the Holy Innocents died under a different Law of salvation. Second, they died not only for Christ,
but in his stead. Third, it is very probable that the OP theologian is citing here the requisites for martyrdom for the
adult. In the case of children under the age of reason, b) would be the definitive, I believe. This means that for them to be considered martyrs by the Church, they must have been slaughtered
for the sake of Christ by an enemy out of hatred for Christianity.
