Did a simple revision in the baptismal rite alter the spiritual defense of an entire generation? In 1969, following Vatican II, the Catholic Church introduced the Ordo Baptismi Parvulorum… a sweeping overhaul of the infant baptismal rite. Gone were the ancient, direct minor exorcisms commanding Satan to depart, the exorcised salt, and the ritual blowing. In their place came a single, gentle prayer asking God for strength and deliverance. Children began to see a steady decline in mental health in the following years. Could there be a connection?
