The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

In an evolving scandal, on February 1st, a Catholic priest, Rev. Andres Arango of Arizona, resigned after discovering that the baptisms he had administered for over 20 years were considered invalid. Arango has been using the phrase “we baptize you…” instead of “I baptize you...” during the baptism rites he performed. Katie Burke, a spokesperson for the Catholic Diocese of Phoenix, Arizona, explained that baptism is invalid because of this single incorrect word. According to the diocese, an invalid baptism also invalidates all ensuing sacraments, such as Confirmation and marriage. In June 2020, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith of the Vatican issued a doctrinal note prohibiting anyone “even if he be a priest, may add, remove, or change anything in the liturgy on his own authority.” Arango’s mistakes were brought to the diocese’s attention after a layperson, who was aware of the doctrinal note, noticed the error in his performance of a baptism. Arango remains an ordained priest in good standing, and has vowed to help everyone affected by his mistake.
