You defined those terms more fully than I did, so I appreciate the extra knowledge and details :) Yvonne Demoskoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13337822921875324881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687824161583211670.post-25977000951001212212014-08-02T05:40:17.038-07:002014-08-02T05:40:17.038-07:00This is how I have defined the terms:
sous cond...This is how I have defined the terms: <br /><br />sous condition: conditionally, a phrase used when evidence has been given that the individual had been baptized earlier, in an ondoyement, sprinkling of water while saying “I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,” whether performed by a lay person (of whatever religion) or by a priest who did not then or could not then provide the full sacramental rites. An individual can be baptized only once. These emergency baptisms are fully legitimate, whether followed by the Church rituals or not before a person dies. The phrase sous condition is thus entered in case the previous emergency baptism, ondoyement, was flawed in intent or in execution. It is sometimes used when the person being baptized had received baptism in a protestant rite but is becoming a Catholic.<br /><br />ondoyé[e] / ondoyer / ondoyement: emergency baptism, usually performed when a priest is not present, from the French word for a wave of water. When the child or older individual could be taken to a church, a priest then “supplied” the usual ceremonies and rites of the sacrament of Baptism, such as anointing with holy oil, covering with a white cloth, abjuring the devil and all his pomp, and naming godparents who would be responsible for the spiritual development of the baptized. The entry in a Church register also served as a civil record and could be used for inheritance purposes as well as for future administration of the sacraments of Confirmation, Marriage, or Holy Orders (becoming a priest).<br /><br />Suzanne Boivin Sommerville, French-Canadian Heritage Society of Michiganhttp://www.habitantheritage.orgnoreply@blogger.com
