Q71 Of The Preparations That Accompany Baptism
< previous   Prologue   next >

Prologue   A1   A2   A3   A4  

We have now to consider the preparations that accompany Baptism: concerning which there are four points of inquiry:

A1 Whether catechism should precede Baptism?

A2 Whether exorcism should precede Baptism?

A3 Whether what is done in catechizing and exorcizing, effects anything, or is a mere sign?

A4 Whether those who are to be baptized should be catechized or exorcized by priests?
