More Potential Pastoral Problems?

In connection with this post.

If the sacraments of initiation are limited to those infants whose parents are ready and willing to bear the responsibility of educating them, then will the children of those who have not been initiated be left out? Will their parents be judged by their brethren as being inadequate Christians? In order to avoid this problem, should the sacraments of initiation therefore be given to all infants, even if the parents are less than able to provide a proper formation for their children? Or should they be delayed for all children until they attain the age of reason, or after that point, when they are able to choose the faith and profess it? The question of "maturity" or intentionality in faith and how the sacraments of initiation are related to it is perhaps one that needs to be asked not only by those in the patriarchate of Rome but by the members of the other patriarchates as well.

They took the corpse and head, set them in a hastily-built hut-chapel and immediately miracles began. A light was seen over the tomb, the blind and the sick were healed. Miraculously the head became joined to the body, with only a red scar marking the place of the cruel cut between torso and head. Local people came as pilgrims to venerate Edmund's relics, which remained intact and incorrupt.
