I did a quick google and found that the Catholic Church changed from immersion to sprinking in 1311 AD.. but then I found this on Wikapedia .. interesting, no? <BR/><BR/>In the Roman Catholic church, especially after its Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), greater attention is being given to the form of the baptismal font. Currently, the Roman Catholic church encourages baptismal fonts that are suitable for the full immersion of an infant or child, and for at least the pouring of water over the whole body of an adult. The font should be located in a space that is visibly and physically accessible, and should preferably make provision for flowing water.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02029451742280017744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-216002712344171942008-11-16T19:27:00.000-07:002008-11-16T19:27:00.000-07:00I've seen a tremendous amount of churchies, especi...I've seen a tremendous amount of churchies, especially in Europe, Notre Dame in Paris, Westminster Abbey in London etc, but the "worst" ones were in Venice, Italy!! The St. Marco Cathedral was completely in 24 carats gold, all the paintings on the walls and ceilings, even on the outside walls were golden! That is WOW!!! Looks adorable, but..what a waste!!! Not to mention the smaller palaces and churches!! You should see it all before it's history!<BR/>They are doing a huge job trying to keep the town floating, but we'll see; not many people want to live in a place with such a big humidity and mosquitoes like that. But in a sad way ..it's so beautiful! Sorry, I get so sentimental. But the good news I heard today was that your house is sold (my daughter was there just when I talked with her!)<BR/>So,good luck with house hunting! And by the way; it was snowing here today as well, but it was so wet, luckily!! Tomorrow my daughter Jannica is coming back from Houston, Texas! How I miss my daughters! Miss your Laura as well, she is a great personality!!<BR/>Love from Stockholm, Sweden.
