The above sounds like grace talking. Ask your priest and see if it would be licit to baptize him if he has a moment of lucidity and says yes, but only do so under his advice.
How's it going?
Any news or perhaps improvements to report?
What did your priest say about this idea??
He is currently in the latter stage of dementia, so he is not in his right mind. Even if he asked for baptism, there is no way to know that he truly desires it or if he is just....talking more nonsense.
This made me think, you ought to ask your priest about doing a Conditional Baptism, that is, if your father is incoherent and on in danger of death, and says something that sounds like he wants Baptism, you could give a Conditional Baptism, just in case he's not as delusional as he seems. I've had replies in both ways, one priest says it's a good idea, and another says you shouldn't do it, but I don't know what their criteria were.
