ONE WORD DIFFERENCE: Thousands of baptisms are presumed invalid because Rev. Andrés Arango flubbed the phrasing on the Catholic ritual.
CORRECTS NAME TO REV. ANDRES ARANGO FROM BISHOP THOMAS OLMSTED - Rev. Andrs Arango, speaks with a parishioner inside St. Gregory Catholic Church, Thursday, Feb. 24, 2022, in Phoenix after a baptism do-over. The Diocese of Phoenix estimates that thousands of baptisms are invalid by the incorrect phrasing used by the Rev. Andres Arango, who served in three parishes from September 2005 until his resignation Feb. 1. – Families came one by one to the baptismal font in a Phoenix church where the Rev.
Church officials estimate Arango performed thousands of baptisms that are now presumed invalid and said those affected need to valid baptisms now. It’s unclear how many people have received the sacrament again.Technically in church theology, there's no “again” or “rebaptism,” since baptism, as well as Confirmation and first communion, are once-in-a-lifetime rituals that can't be repeated.
At the end of his final Sunday Mass at St. Gregory, Arango received a standing ovation and was carried down the aisle by parishioners who thanked him for his contributions. In a statement, the diocese acknowledged that Arango’s reassignment had upset people. “Fr. Arango is a priest in good standing and has led many people to a deeper relationship with Christ in his pastoral work at Saint Gregory Parish, but now he is committing himself to this vital and important pastoral outreach to the people of God – helping and healing,” the diocese said.
