Infants: many Romans deny sufficient grace for all — baptism barrier

Click or tap any sentence to jump there. The side buttons skip a paragraph.

Romans still split on further questions — first, infants.

Is sufficient saving grace given to every infant?

Many say no: many die before baptism can be given.

Without baptism they hold no infant reaches salvation — clearest in womb-deaths without parents' fault.

Latin

VIII. Ceterum Scholae Romanae Theologi quaestiones varias hic movent circa quas non est eadem omnibus sententia. Et primo quidem de infantibus quaerunt, An etiam omnibus illis gratia sufficiens ad salutem a Deo detur? Id negant in Schola Romana non pauci: quoniam multi infantes decedunt, antequam potuerit illis administrari Baptismus, sine quo tamen existimant nullum infantem posse ad salutem pervenire. Quod clarum est, praesertim in iis infantibus, qui in utero materno sine parentum culpa extinguuntur.
