[Patsy33]

Makes me so angry! What would you have done if you were the parent?

one of the comments underneath was " If you thought this was bad wait until you see what he does to the altar boys".

I think that the old git should be put out to pasture.

I think I might have taken the old inadequate by the throat, in a caring and godly way of course.

The church seems to still employ any old dross.

Told him to keep his mits off my baby. Glad the parents didn't put up with it.

[Eleena]

On my ... jeez. I can't believe that? Poor poor baby. His handling even before that was rigid, not comforting.

[murraymints]

slap him back.take the child and leave..outrageous !

[mallyh]

fitted him in the font ,awful person

[Sqad]

LOl...LOL...
LUV it! LUVit.

[Baldric]

Punched his lights out, Amen.

[Eleena]

It's one of those moments you don't believe you've just witnessed, Tilly it sinks in. I 've watched it several times now, I was willing the parents to intervene!

[Eleena]

Sqad, what do you love exactly??

[BAKERS DOZEN]

Not religious so never been in that position but if I had he would still be looking for his teeth.

[Sqad]

Eleena......the WHOLE scenario.
Italy, a solemn baptism, the thoughts of Christ prevailing, a whinging baby,parents looking on in adoration and then the ultimate solution..........a slap.

[Sqad]

It's so outrageous, that you have to see the funny side.....at least i do.

[tiggerblue10]

I would've been too shocked to know what to do. Probably prize my baby away from him as he looked like he was in a tight grip and let my family deal with the unholy man!

[Flonska]

Sounded more french than italian to me.

[Mamyalynne]

Awful sight, can only guess what I'd have done - hot footed it straight out of there initially.

[Eleena]

Quite a sickening scene isn't it. The holy man who surely can't be reproached, and the innocent baby.

[Eleena]

Watch his body language just before the slap, the way he held that baby's face, sickening.

For what it's worth, I am firmly on the side of the Reverend Father.
