[release]A priest in eastern Europe has been accused of drowning a baby boy as he baptised him.
Police are investigating Father Valentin for accidential homicide after witnesses at the ceremony said the priest did not cover the baby's mouth during the ritual, The Sun newspaper reports.
Father Valentin had denied being responsible for the baby's death during the baptism in Moldova.
The six-week-old baby died on the way to hospital and an autopsy found he had drowned, the baby's dad Dumitru Gaidau told Romania's Publica TV.
Mr Gaidau, 36, said his son was clearly in distress during the ceremony.
"He couldn't inhale, his face turned blue and he was foaming at the mouth. He [the priest] said we should not interrupt this their ritual," he said.
"We couldn't believe it that he just put his hand over his belly and over the head and submerged him three times in the water."
Water was found in the baby's lungs.
The baby's godmother, Aliona Vacarciuc, said the baby had been crying as the priest submerged him in the water.
"We couldn't believe it but we thought the priest must know what he's doing, but he didn't. When we got him back there was nothing that could be done anymore," The Sun quoted her as saying.
When the baby's angry relatives confronted the priest, he told them he knew what he was doing and was experienced at baptisms, Ms Vacarciuc said.
If found guilty of accidental homicide, Father Valentin could spend three years in jail.[/release]
good job
That's horrible :frown:
And now, for the religious flame war "lol religion is stupid".
3 years in jail? Really?
I guess experience isnt important for theology.
What's next? Three legged dinosoars?

It's not like he was trying to kill the baby or anything.

It wasn't on purpose.
Another life ruined by that twisted religion.
The priest did it to save himself from raping the child, or from it being raped.
He did a good deed while doing a large sin. god bless god!
How can people possibly defend religion with shit like this?
Face it - if religion didn't exist, shit like this wouldn't happen. It doesn't matter if it's accidental, and it doesn't matter if it's an isolated case.
religion at its finest
his best excuse was probably
"god wills it"
"I don't think the baby can survive that Father!! :ohdear:"
"Chill bitch I got this!!! :catholic:"

Are you even trying?
At least he will go to heaven.
I'm not fond with Christianity and never witnessed and Christian ritual/costume myself, but I'm quite positive that in baptism water are just lightly thrown at the baby? Or it's different with Orthodox Christianity?

I think there is a stipulation on this on the terms of use.
This might be classified as a suicide. Plus the baby was foaming at the mouth.

It teaches hating people for being different and causes a lot more problems than anything else. It's fucked up.

Your logic is unbelievably terrible.

I don't recall Christianity telling you to hate anyone.
Isn't manslaughter typically a 10-15 year charge?
[QUOTE=Number-41;23665341]Source?[/QUOTE]
The bible code.
Death by Baptism... Cruel irony?
[QUOTE=Thom12255;23665356]I don't recall Christianity telling you to hate anyone.[/QUOTE]
It teaches misogyny, xenophobia, and even racism by saying black people are black due to a "curse from the Lord".

Check again.
It foamed at the mouth, it was clearly a demon, it was the holy water that killed it.
