Are fountains still popular? I mean, why not just go all out and put in a 10 foot waterfall or something? Or maybe like a fire hose spraying a stream of water over the the people and have a fish tank on the other side?
And since we all know this baby is peeing right now, do they put chlorine in the water? I know it's supposed to be natural water but wouldn't you have to use a pool cleaner or something to keep it clean?
But it is good to see that some people still have their children baptized.

Do your kids pee at inopportune times, Matt?
I don't really see what the problem is. Immersion is a perfectly legitimate option for baptism and this parish is taking advantage of that option.
Define inopportune....
I'm glad none of my kids were baptized with water mixed with their own urine if that is what you are asking.
Without seeing the rest of the church, can you already assume it's ugly? I mean it's kind of a trademark of modern churches; move the tabernacle out and get a large fountain put in.
So....like, where's the mom?
I'm not saying it's "wrong," I'm saying it's impractical with children.
Just kidding. I'm sure the two guys in suits are the baby's godfathers, and the parents are to the side. But the pic does present a rather peculiar image, no?
Sooooo the suits are probably single, yes?
ohboy, you had to go there. Well, since most people don't know that there technically only one godfather and one godmother (or there could just be one of either), it's probably the case where the parents had as many godparents as the could get. I was actually the "godparent" for my youngest sister when I was like 14 years old, but I hadn't been confirmed which would have made me a "witness" according to Canon Law since I didn't meet the requirements. Two dudes who are both godparents means only one is the actual godparent and one is a "witness."
Can I get a witneeeeess???
Better a "witness" than a "partner". Jus' sayin'....
I considered posting this photo at AoftheA and making some snarky comments, but I figured I've had enough baptism controversy at my place for the time being...
Haha! Hey, I didn't think of the whole baptizing with the shell thing either. Sad it was difficult to tell if it was valid or not and still published.
We're bloggers. If we were afraid of controversy, nobody would be reading.

Oh great. Tempt me.
Seriously laughing out loud!! Totally thought the same thing about the peeing...
Larry, my new years resolution is to tempt people more, that way I have something good to give up for Lent.
Glad you enjoyed as much as that toddler in the pic did Jessica!

Well, at least someone is keeping their resolutions this year! I'm now leaning 65/35 in favor of posting that pic.
Sister likes this kind of stuff, doesn't she?
I'll have to ask her. She's pretty open-minded, you know.
And when was the last time you had this many comments on a single post? LOL!
I know and I didn't even mention Michael Voris!
Well, "baptism" must be the key, because it generated nearly 60 comments last time I mentioned it.
This saturday my son is getting baptized. We opted for the "Slip and Slide full emersion experience." It is going to be awesome.
Two words, pooper scooper.
