I was thinking about how God breathed a soul into Adam through his nose and breathed on the Apostles when giving them and their successors the ability to forgive sins. The thought that God created the nostrils and mouth to breath through and the contraceptive mentality the masking of the breathing is. It goes against the 5th Commandment and spits in the face of God. "You wonderfully designed my body with a nose and mouth to breathe through? Well I'm going to cover them up and not breathe as you intend."
Reading the following from a priest on the Rite of Baptism got me thinking about that:
The priest then breathes thrice upon the face of the person to be baptized and says once: Go out of him thou unclean spirit, and give place unto the Holy Ghost, the Paraclete. According to our corporeal birth we are children of wrath, and under the dominion of Satan. The evil spirit must be expelled; therefore the priest orders him to depart. The priest then breathes three times upon the child. This breathing signifies the communication of the new spiritual life. This breathing is done three times in memory of the Blessed Trinity, by which the new life is imparted; and it is done in the form of a cross, because Christ has redeemed us by his death on the cross. When the evil spirit has gone out from man, the Holy Ghost makes his abode in the man’s heart, and therefore the priest says: Give place unto the Holy Ghost the Paraclete. The ceremony of breathing was in use in the first ages of the Church, and Saint Augustine draws from it a proof of original sin.
Pardon the sarcasm but perhaps they should stop with the baptisms until this whole convids narrative goes away. (Seriously, I guess the NO has done away with this part or excludes it now as a safety measure. You know the unclean spirit is less dangerous than the convids).
