	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Baptism
		From the foregoing it is evident that not all baptism administered by heretics or schismatics is invalid.
		The baptism of blood (baptismus sanquinis) is the obtaining of the grace of justification by suffering martyrdom for the faith of Christ.
		Moreover, baptism can more readily be applied to infants than the rite of circumcision, and by the ancient law this ceremony had to be deferred till the eighth day after birth, while baptism can be bestowed upon infants immediately after they are born, and in case of necessity even in their mother's womb.

	Baptism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The choice to be baptized is made by a 'confessing believer' (believer baptism, or credobaptism), regardless of age, as a 'confession' or public profession of his or her faith in Christ; or on behalf of the child by his or her parents (infant baptism paedobaptism) if the parents had themselves been baptized, and professed faith.
		The Christian explanation of baptism as the definitive rite, by which the baptized person is indicated to be fully-qualified for participation in the life of the Church, begins with the career of John the Baptist, who was the cousin of Jesus.
		They also believe that baptism is symbolic both of Jesus's death, burial and resurrection and of the death and burial of the natural or sinful man and rebirth as a disciple of Jesus of the one baptized.

		Baptism of desire is the implicit desire for baptism of water by a person who makes an act of perfect love of God, based on faith and with a sincere sorrow for one's sins.
		Baptism of desire is not a sacrament; it does not imprint the baptismal character or enable a person to receive the other sacraments.
		The necessity of Baptism for salvation is, according to John 3, 5 and Mk.

	On Baptism
		Baptism of water is that which is given by pouring water on the head of the person to be baptized, and saying at the same time, "I baptize thee in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."
		Baptism of blood is the shedding of one's blood for the faith of Christ.
		Baptism of desire or of blood is sufficient to produce the effects of the Baptism of water, if it is impossible to receive the Baptism of water.

	The Catholic Teaching on the Baptism of Desire
		The Fathers [of the Church] admit to baptism of blood or martyrdom, and in a certain measure the baptism of desire, as a means of replacing the baptism of water."
		Baptism of desire is not the sacrament of baptism and yet applying the term “baptism” to the baptism of blood and baptism of desire has been a practice of the Church for centuries.
		In the implicit desire of baptism, the act of Faith and hope must be explicit while it suffices for the desire of baptism itself to be implicit since he who desires the whole desires necessarily every part of that whole.

	St. Alphonsus on Baptism of Blood and Desire
		Baptism, therefore, coming from a Greek word that means ablution or immersion in water, is distinguished into Baptism of water [“fluminis”], of desire [“flaminis” = wind] and of blood.
		Now it is de fide that men are also saved by Baptism of desire, by virtue of the Canon Apostolicam, “de presbytero non baptizato” and of the Council of Trent, session 6, Chapter 4 where it is said that no one can be saved “without the laver of regeneration or the desire for it.”
		Baptism of blood is the shedding of one’s blood, i.e.

	Catechism of the Catholic Church - PART 2 SECTION 2 CHAPTER 1 ARTICLE 1
		The sheer gratuitousness of the grace of salvation is particularly manifest in infant Baptism.
		Baptism is necessary for salvation for those to whom the Gospel has been proclaimed and who have had the possibility of asking for this sacrament.
		The baptismal seal enables and commits Christians to serve God by a vital participation in the holy liturgy of the Church and to exercise their baptismal priesthood by the witness of holy lives and practical charity.

	The Necessity of Baptism
		Baptism is necessary for salvation for those to whom the Gospel has been proclaimed and who have had the possibility of asking for this sacrament [Mark 16:16]" (CCC 1257).
		There are exceptions to water baptism: It is possible to be saved through "baptism of blood," martyrdom for Christ, or through "baptism of desire", that is, an explicit or even implicit desire for baptism.
		For the Savior calls martyrdom a baptism, saying, ‘Can you drink the cup which I drink and be baptized with the baptism with which I am to be baptized [Mark 10:38]?’ Indeed, the martyrs too confess, by being made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men [1 Cor.

		Note that Baptism must only be administered to those who request it; Baptism must never, ever be against the will of the person to be baptized, or his parents' will if he is a child.
		During the Rite of Baptism, the sponsors for adults stand silent, with a hand on the candidate's shoulder (and sometimes signing the catechumen with the Cross, in some variations of the Rite); the one to be baptized answers the priest's questions himself.
		"Baptism of Desire" is a much-abused concept in the Novus Ordo world, twisted beyond recognition such that it leads to the false idea of universal salvation, to a denial of the need to be a part of the Church to be saved, and to disobedience to Christ's command to preach the Gospel and to baptize.

	JIMMY AKIN.ORG: Baptism of Desire
		A tiny number of dissident Catholics (Catholics who reject the teaching of the Church) do not accept baptism of desire, flying in the face of the Catholic understanding that has persisted since the early centuries of the Christian age.
		The dissidents on this issue are technically known as Feeneyites, though I seem to recall a certain amount of debate as to whether they correctly represent the beliefs of their founder (ie, have coopted someone who was only faintly heterodox on the subject, or who retracted on being reproved by his superiors).
		The whole question of how someone with an "implicit desire" can be saved, and whether or not that person would receive the grace for an explicit desire before their death, is a debated question.

	Appendix C: Statement on Baptism of Desire...by Matt1618
		This is the exact same Scriptural quote and phrase used in canon 2 of the canons on baptism, when it speaks of true baptism, and canon 5 when it speaks of the necessity of baptism for salvation.
		In fact, the use of the word desire that he used in Summa Theologica is reflected in the Council of Trent, Chapter four which we have examined, and by the later magisterium, and infallibly declared Saints.
		However, we saw Father Feeney proclaim “Baptism or damnation.” Thus, despite being made a Child of God, Father Feeney by implication argues that unless that person is baptized and made a member of the Catholic Church, that person must commit mortal sin, in which all three conditions must be met.

		The notes from my lecture “Baptism of Desire and Theological Principles” were posted on our Web-site in early 2001 and occasioned a lively discussion on the Sacred Heart List, an e-mail discussion group for the adherents of the St. Benedict Center, who follow the teachings of the late Rev. Leonard Feeney SJ.
		In the case of baptism of desire and baptism of blood, the adversaries seem to be few and disreputable.
		Baptism of desire and baptism of blood are defined in essentially the same way in the works I cited.

	Baptism of Desire in Traditional Catholic Writings
		Baptismal immersion is a figure of the death to sin and the new life of virtue, wherefore any transition to justification (forgiveness of sins and entering the state of grace) is of the essence of “baptism”.
		Hence, the “three baptisms” are best understood as being manners of receiving the “one baptism” in so far they have their unity in the sacramental virtue (justification) received.
		The concept of a “desire” for water baptism sufficing for salvation, when water baptism is impossible, is explicitly mentioned in the following, as perhaps the earliest surviving explicit reference.

		It will be seen in what follows that we have documented the Church's teaching on the issue of Baptism of Desire from all but the 4th and 9th of these loci.
		However, those who argue on the absolute need of baptism by water will respond by noting that the Church was not officially 'founded' till the day of Pentecost - and that hence baptism by water only became a requirement subsequent to that time.
		Yet, a short time ago he had this desire that before he came to Italy he should be initiated [baptized], and he indicated that he wanted to be baptized as soon as possible by myself.

	CUF.org :: Catholics United for the Faith
		The teaching that the desire for Baptism brings about the effects of Baptism for those who could not receive the Sacrament is more than a theological opinion.
		The Church explains the Baptism of blood by relating it to the Baptism of desire, the reality of which must be affirmed for the teaching to have any intelligibility.
		The Catechism’s teaching on the desire for Baptism is rooted in the Decree on Justification from the Sixth Session of the Council of Trent.

		The grace of baptism (res sacramenti) is absolutely necessary for salvation whereas the application of water (sacramentum tantum) is necessary ‘in fact or in desire’ (in re aut in voto) as defined by Trent.
		She teaches that when baptism by water is not available, a desire for the‘laver of regeneration’ may obtain the effect of the actual sacrament, i.e.
		In thinking upon baptism of desire - and like doctrines of the Church - we must ever keep in mind it is God’s prerogative to do as He pleases.
