[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG, you do not baptize a kid without parental consent!  That's an excellent way to lose access to your grandkids, among other things.

You should ask yourself why your adult children left the church.  You should consider their values -- are they so different from yours, really?  Are they good people, teaching their kids to be honest, kind, compassionate, etc.?  Do you trust that you did a good job raising them?[/quote]

No one can baptize a child without parental consent. [/quote]

but they can try, especially if they think they're doing a good thing for the child.

Plus old people might not know that parental consent is needed.  There are plenty to stories that could have filtered down from grandparents and great-grandparents about Jewish kids being secretly baptized during WWII.[/quote]

No, they can’t try because no priest or pastor will do it without parental consent and participation. That would negate one of the main points of baptism.

When will you trolls stop lying. You’ve already been told this.[/quote]

Sure, Grandparents can try to surreptitiously get their grandkids baptized.  It may not work, but they can try.  They could just be innocently babysitting, then dash the kid off to a Catholic Church thinking that any priest would be more than happy to baptize the poor child of godless parents.  Old people can have old ideas. [/quote]

My MIL did this with my youngest. We were walking on the grounds of the basilica abd she spotted a priest. She asked him to bless my son, which did. They he grilled me about why he’s not baptized. [/quote]
