There are Feeneyites among "The Resistance" and this forum?
How do you explain the Holy Innocents, then?
I'm not a "Feeneyite" and I completely agree with all of the posters here on this topic. And it bothers me that there hasn't been anyone else to join in against Geremia's need to get aborted babies to Heaven.
Geremia, it's real simple, brah. One can't be a martyr without being a Catholic, and one can't be Catholic without first being baptized with water and Spirit. Just some basic theology and a little logic, brah.
Yes. We're everywhere.
Under the Mosaic Law, the Holy Innocents were likely. Circuмcised.
what Fr. Feeney realized earlier on and tried to combat. It all boils down to possible salvation for those without Faith nor Baptism.
How did Fr. Feeney explain the Holy Innocents?
The Holy Innocents died under the Old Law, and were not subject to the new dispensation of baptism. Under no circuмstances is their situation even remotely similar to those of aborted babies who die under the New Law. The obligation to receive the sacrament of baptism didn't come into effect until Pentecost Sunday, 33 AD.
The Holy Innocents died under the Old Law, and were not subject to the new dispensation of baptism.
St. Robert argues not all the Holy Innocents were circuмcised; thus, it was not circuмcision that justified them; it was their martyrdom itself which gave graces ex opere operato (De Sacramento Baptismi p. 166, first full ¶).
