Chapter 16 — Part II: The Sacraments — Baptism
Section 101. Baptism Does Not Exempt From Penalties Of The Civil Law — Although the remission by Baptism of the punishments due to sin cannot be questioned, we are not to infer that it exempts an offender from the punishments decreed by civil tribunals for some grave crime. Thus a person sentenced to death is not rescued by Baptism from the penalty ordained by the law.
