They Misrepresent The Fathers
MHFM: Many John 3:5 mockers misrepresent the teaching of the early fathers on the necessity of baptism (and related matters). They claim that all the fathers taught that ‘baptism of blood’ could replace water baptism. But that is not true. The Chair of St. Peter gives us the true doctrine of the fathers. Here’s the official teaching of Pope St. Leo the Great, which directly contradicts ‘baptism of blood’ and ‘baptism of desire’ by declaring that for UNBAPTIZED CATECHUMENS in PERSECUTION (or any other danger) actually receiving water baptism is the ONLY WAY to be saved. That would not be true if ‘baptism of blood’ and ‘baptism of desire’ were ways for unbaptized catechumens in danger or persecution to be saved.
