IMPLICATIONS More important, however, were the pastoral implications of the new rite: Baptism was to be a sacrament conferred publicly and with the suppor t of the whole Church and the faith of the parents was to become a more significant element in the baptism of children, instructions accompanying the new rite said. Specifically, it is left to the parish priest to determine the time for baptism of infants when parents are not prepared to profess their faith to undertake !he duty Of bringing up their children as Christians. • To a generation accustomed to know of no delay in any case between birth and the conferring of baptism it has become no easy nastoral task for priest or parents to determine , the question of whether to delay baptism.
