Pope Pius IX Implicitly Condemned “Baptism Of Desire”
In his Allocution Singulari Quadam, Dec. 9, 1854, Pope Pius IX implicitly condemned “baptism of desire” when he stated the following in the context of discussing the dogma Outside The Church There Is No Salvation.
Pope Pius IX, Allocution Singulari Quadam, Dec. 9, 1854: “For, in truth, when released from these corporeal chains ‘we shall see God as He is’ [1 John 3:2], we shall understand perfectly by how close and beautiful a bond divine mercy and justice are united; but, as long as we are on earth, weighed down by this mortal mass which blunts the soul, let us hold most firmly that, in accordance with Catholic teaching, there is ‘one God, one faith, one baptism’ [Eph. 4:5]; it is unlawful [nefas] to proceed further in inquiry.”
The word “nefas” means “unlawful, criminal or wicked”.
In regard to questions about whether someone can be saved outside the Church, Pope Pius IX teaches that it’s “unlawful, criminal or wicked” (nefas) to profess anything other than the one Lord, the one faith and the one baptism of divine revelation. That “one baptism” is celebrated in water, as the Council of Vienne dogmatically declared.
They Continue To Misquote Trent
It’s remarkable how many John 3:5 mockers continue to use the false “except through” mistranslation of the Council of Trent, Sess. 6, Chap. 4. They commit mortal sin by doing so after they’ve been informed that it’s a false translation. They also deny what the Council of Trent declares in that very passage, namely, that no one gets to Heaven without being born again of “water and the Holy Spirit”.
