Why others read it and see what is not there is beyond me - regardless, in the interest of seeking for the truth, I am willing and ready to accept that I am wrong - but there ain't nobody going to convince me that Trent says there is such a thing as BOD - much less that Trent defines it. Thank you Jenn! This is the heart of what I am attempting to find out......and I agree completely with your conclusion.

Well, because Our Lord did not institute the Sacrament till basically just before His Ascension, St. Dismas is an Old Testament saint who died before the Sacrament was instituted, so we can't use his reward as being from BOD - same goes for the Holy Innocents. Our Lord was not 2 years old Himself when the Holy Innocents were slaughtered in place of Him.

The Church definitively teaches of the reality of Baptism of Desire:
Thus the Catechism of the Catholic Church states: "Those who die for the faith, those who are catechumens, and all those who, without knowing of the Church but acting under the inspiration of grace, seek God sincerely and strive to fulfill his will, are saved even if they have not been baptized" (CCC 1281; the salvation of unbaptized infants is also possible under this system; cf. CCC 1260–1, 1283

My point is that the Sacrament was not instituted at the time of the Holy Innocents. It was not a requirement at that time.

If to you, it does not contradict, then by all means explain how the above teaching from the CCC agrees with Trent.

What is the consequence for embracing BoD? Would a high level clergyman like Lefebvre been in mortal sin for embracing it?
