A young unwed mother was humiliated in front of her family and friends because of the "sermon" given to her by the priest that officiated the baptimisal rites of her infant son.
Speaking in Cebuano,The Priest said "(It’s humiliating to have a baptism without a husband. You slept with a man that is not your husband? Aren’t you ashamed)?” Fr. Romeo Ubach of the Sacred Heart Chaplaincy in Eversely Child Sanitarium asked the 17-year-old woman who carried her months-old baby.
"This child has no sin but her mother who slept with a man without being married to him lives in sin. She may pass on the consequences of her sin to her child. There shouldn’t have been indulging in their passion then bore a child. Yes, a child is a gift from God but the baby was borne due to sin),” the priest said.
This was such a great insult to all unwed mothers because as we all know Any child, whether legitimate or not, has the right to be baptized. The priest have the obligation to baptize anyone because baptism is the only means to remove original sin. Good that the mother brought her child to be baptized.
The child’s grandmother took a video of the priest’s sermon and uploaded it to her Facebook account yesterday. The video has been shared more than 9,000 times as of Monday afternoon.
