Cardinal Gibbons, Roman Catholic

“For several centuries after the establishment

of Christianity baptism was usually conferred

by immersion; but since the 12th century the

practice of baptism by infusion has prevailed in

the Catholic church, as this manner is attained

with less inconvenience than by immersion.”

(Faith of our Fathers, p. 317)
