| Summary: | A parochial vicar purports to baptize an infant (a baby of four weeks) in the parish's full-immersion baptismal font located in the vestibule of the parish church. He does so by holding the naked infant and skimming her buttocks across the top of the surface of the water while reciting the baptismal formula. He neither immerses the infant nor pours water on her head. No water touches the infant's head or any part of her body, other than her buttocks. Is the baptism valid? |
