CANON 59
That baptism is not to be celebrated in a chapel inside of a house
[47] Baptism is never to
be celebrated in a chapel inside a house. But those who wish to receive the
spotless illumination should go to the public and there enjoy this gift. (The
Canons of Quinisext Council (691-2) [trans. Richard Price; Liverpool:
Liverpool University Press, 2020], 137-38)
CANON 84
About those of whom it is not known for certain whether they were
baptized
[54] Following the
canonical regulations of the fathers, we decree about infants, ‘whenever there
are not found reliable witnesses testifying that they were certainly baptized,
and when because of their age they themselves are unable to answer this question
about the sacramental initiation they received are to be baptized without any hindrance,
lest hesitation over this should deprive them of this sacramental cleansing
(Canon 72 of Carthage). (Ibid., 158)
