A priest in eastern Europe has been accused of drowning a baby boy as he baptised him.

Police are investigating Father Valentin for accidential homicide after witnesses at the ceremony said the priest did not cover the baby's mouth during the ritual, The Sun newspaper reports.

Father Valentin had denied being responsible for the baby's death during the baptism in Moldova.

The six-week-old baby died on the way to hospital and an autopsy found he had drowned, the baby's dad Dumitru Gaidau told Romania's Publica TV.

It's OK though, because Christians believe that the baby was cleansed of sins by being dunked in the water, and so the baby should be in heaven now.

Amirite?

The baby's godmother, Aliona Vacarciuc, said the baby had been crying as the priest submerged him in the water.
So, he really knew what he was doing? :thdown:

Nope.

Hold the priest responsible. He's a fucking idiot.

Damnit. I've read terrible things in the news page, but this just ruined my day.

He was joking. He was poking fun at the Christian religion.
I know.

But as I take it, he's making fun of something he thinks that Christians in general believe, which they do not. Or maybe he isn't. Let's not pursue the subject

I'm still pissed about how the priest killed the baby for the sake of "ritual." Where the hell does it say in the Bible that you have to dunk a six-week old baby three times in water?

Not to be a hater, but... these ritualistic idiots are the ones that give a good religion a bad rap.

The funny thing is he's only going to get up to 3 years in prison. Then again, who'll ever want HIM to baptize their baby, much less anything else?

Babies cry all the time. I'd cry too if a priest had his hands on me.
Then you know why the baby had water in the lungs. put your head in the water means while you cry. Is that a such good idea?

Well, It's entirely his fault!

It's the parent's negligence. Which of the two (Mom or Dad) came up with the idea of baptizing their baby? They know how a baptism is. However, there are other ways of baptizing a baby, by pouring the water over it's head.

And technically, based on the bible, all babies go to heaven automatically when they die. Until they gain conscious from good and evil, and know the 'path of god', until then will they have a chance to end up in hell.
