The entire Roman Catholic Church is an absurdity.

Strange. My idea of a Catholic baptism is similar to how you flick water onto your bar-b-que. If the guy did it with a water gun it might be invalid.

It would be funny if, liker flicking water onto a BBQ, if anyone beign baptized started to sizzle and steam.
I have a morbid thought I must share - if any of those kids died, unbaptised, then, they don't go to heaven; they go to purgatory. So, my question is, if any did die, can the parents sue? For the church to fight such a case considering if they want people to believe, they would have to admit causing mass pain and suffering. Now, they could easily win in court by claiming it is just a bunch of meaningless words that no sane person would interpret as important.

You mean their ritualistic chanting of " In nominee Pater, et Fili, et Spiritu Sancti" ( or in Aussie derisive language, My Father can beat your Father at Dominoes/ Spectacles, Testicles, Wallet and Watch.)
