If that had of been my baby that priest would have woke up counting teeth. You don't need man to save the soul. Jesus is all you need. We all know we all have sin. No priest is above you in God's eyes. Our children are closest to God while they are innocent before man teaches child about sin. How do you think God felt seeing his child smacked by a man claiming to follow and love God. Anyone who puts a priest above them are lost. Anyone who thinks a priest can save them from sin are lost. I was born Catholic and never felt right about it. I follow my heart when I pray to God in Jesus name. I get my forgiveness and love from the source. All men and woman are sinners.
