Pope Francis today baptised the child of an unmarried couple during a ceremony in the Sistine Chapel, in Rome.

According to DailyMail, the unnamed parents and their child took part in the traditional Baptism Of The Lord mass with 31 others, commemorating the day St John baptised Jesus.

The Pope has previously called priests who refuse to baptize children of unmarried women 'hypocrites', saying there was need for them to baptize the kids in order to pass on the Christian faith.

Speaking in the relaxed manner that has become his trademark during the baptism, Pope Francis also broke with the tradition of delivering long and formal speech, and instead read a short script he had written himself.

Earlier on in September, the pontiff had telephoned an Italian woman to tell her he would personally baptise her child after she became pregnant by a man who was already married.

Shop worker Anna Romano, 35, was on holiday when she received the call from the Argentinian Pope.
At the time she said:  'I addressed the letter simply to Pope Francis, the Vatican and put it in the post. I didn't even send it recorded delivery. I didn't really expect to get a reply but then out of the blue when I was on holiday I had a phone call from him.

The number was from Rome, with a 06 dial code, and as soon as he started speaking I recognised the voice as his.

I was just so surprised that he had telephoned me. He said that he had read my letter and he wanted to speak to me personally about it and reassure me that someone was worried about me.

Pope Francis is trying to revolutionalize the Catholic system.....gay support, child from unmarried couple......soon....Rev Fathers will start marrying.

It's like he's out to squash all old Catholic traditions.

We're watching.....I won't be surprised if he speaks in tongues.

Of course its possible, the Pope will only advise the couple to obey the sacrament of the holy martrimony, that mean they should try and get married.

When we compare this to African pastors getting members of their congregation  to eat  grass - and to be sick afterwards - in the name of "showing the goodness of the Lord," I think the Pope should be given a gold star!!!!

No CHILD should be BAPTIZED because it is PASSING THEM through the Fire. These persons are liars, who know the DATE and the DAY that John the Baptist Baptized JESUS CHRIST? NO ONE because it was NEVER RECORDED. What was recorded was the WORDS that transpired between both and the Son of man told John that THEY ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS to be FULFILLED.

Our BAPTISM is done for RIGHTEOUSNESS to be fulfilled within OUR LIVES and this happen as an ADULT. Jesus Christ was baptized as an ADULT. Did He baptized CHILDREN when He was here NO. He blessed them but HE NEVER BAPTIZED THEM because to do so is to passed them through the FIRE.

He is open CATHOLIC to the TRUTH OF THEIR FAITH. They are SATAN WORSHIPPERS living in CONDEMNATION and so they must STOP condemning others when they are NO DIFFERENT than who they are CONDEMNING. Only the Believe of Jesus Christ can take one from Condemnation. He was not a CHRISTIAN, He SAID to be BORN AGAIN, to FOLLOW HIM and SERVE HIM, so one can be where He is.

Pope Francis is just not being the HYPOCRITE. He is just seeing that he is not CONDEMNING when he is also living within the SAME CONDEMNATION. Hugs
