Bob, I don’t know you, your son, or anything about the Lutheran Church. There is one thing that I do know, from your description of your son’s condition he is as innocent as the day he was born and Jesus will welcome him with open arms.

Honestly, I think if it were me that I would seriously consider changing my religious affiliation.

The list of things I don't know is far longer than the list of things I know. But here is one thing I KNOW: there is but one path to Heaven, and that is through Jesus Christ.
We all try to do the things we think are right. A lot of what we see as right and wrong is based on what we were taught by people - parents, priests, preachers, Sunday school teachers, etc. Sometimes right or wrong is stated in the doctrine of a church (Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist, etc.) We tend to place too much importance on human ideals and rules or guidelines we come up with ourselves, and unfortunately that can take away from our focus on God's teachings.
I stated above that I respect the fact that the Catholic priest would not compromise the rules of his church. I respect his conviction even though I disagree with the viewpoint.
The autistic kid in the article, the priest, Bob's kid, Bob, me, my kids, everyone on this thread... we will all have to stand before God in judgement. Our fate will not be determined by how strictly we followed the "rules." Our fate will be determined by Jesus Christ when he says, "Father, I know this man."

I’m torn on this. I’d personally like to hear what the churches stance on the salvation of the kid is should he not be baptized.

I'm not Catholic. That said, I think if the Savior was offering the Sacrament, no way would he deny little 8 year old Anthony.

Just want to make folks smile, and spit coffee on their keyboard.
If you put beans in your chili, you don't know beans about chili.
God doesn't create temporary people, you will spend eternity somewhere. Choose wisely.

Jesus came to reform a religion not to start a new religion and he was the new covenant and only through him can you gain the keys to heaven. It was only after his death and the continued teaching of the disciples that Christianity was formed and new rules at to what you had to do to belong. Jesus didn’t hang out with the priest and only the best in society he was as with the poor, the sick, and the sinners.
Early on in our Alzheimer’s journey there was something on TV about God and my wife looked at me and asked if I believed in God. It had been a rough day and I looked at her and told her I don’t really know honey and she looked straight at me and said “Well I do”. We are now eight years into our journey and if you asked her who God or Jesus is she would not be able to answer. Therefore she can not confess any sins so she be denied Holy Communion? Only God knows what is in her hart not a priest!
The one thing I do know is that there are going to be a lot of pissed off people when they get to heaven and see all the people that are there that they don’t think should be. There are times that I think the Catholic Church and religion have done as much bad as they have good.

2 Corinthians 4:3-4
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
🙏
