As a person who grew up in the Catholic church, Catholic grade school and even sustained punishment from one particular Catholic nun I think I can say, "Good". I think? I left the Catholic church for a few reasons one being I don't get how a loving God could send an infant or child, who doesn't know/comprehend salvation, to hell. It saddens me that parents would have to endure the torture that goes along with that teaching, if they didn't get the Holy Water poured quick enough. Also, Matthew and I had two miscarriages so where would that leave our babies? I still believe in a believer's baptism wholeheartedly, but for Catholics, I hope this new thought from their pope is a reassuring thought. I'm thankful for the knowledge OF and relationship WITH God I have now. I wish everybody was able to have the same knowledge and relationship. Not that I know tons...just more accurate.
I'll Hold You in Heaven by Pastor Jack Hayford is an awesome book that brought much healing and hope to this Mommy's grieving heart. 3 babies wait for me in heaven. Aubrey-1990 Jamie-1995 Lee-2001
