Controversy Erupts as Historic Buffalo Church Becomes Mosque
Father Dave Nix joins us to discuss the controversial transformation of the historic 164-year-old St. Anne's Church in Buffalo into a mosque. We tackle the community's resistance and explore whether figures like Taylor Marshall could have mobilized funds to save such heritage sites.
We then grapple with the theological intricacies of retroactive exorcisms and adult baptisms, stressing the gravity of timely sacraments for newborns in medical distress. Personal stories highlight the diverse practices surrounding baptisms and confirmations, illustrating the critical importance of proper sacramental matter and methods, especially during emergencies. Our show underscores that the necessity of baptism for salvation is a topic mired in misunderstandings, particularly around Lenten practices and urgent evangelization efforts.
Lastly, we navigate the emotional and theological challenges faced by parents mourning unbaptized infants, debating the concepts of limbo and the baptism of desire, enriched by historical and contemporary perspectives. The discussion extends to the severe implications of hell, emphasizing the importance of baptism and exorcisms to prevent spiritual dangers. We wrap up with heartfelt reflections on maintaining traditional Catholic faith amidst modern societal pressures.
I've never heard of limbo described as a paradise! I'd love to learn more! Any resources you recommend?

If baptism is necessary for salvation why wouldn't we baptize everyone (babies) even if they might not be raised Catholic?
I grew up in the Novus Ordo and wrongly believed that it was fine to wait months for baptism.
I received the exorcisms retroactively 43 years later!
