Whether this sacrament should be given to children?

❌ Objection 1 : It would seem that this sacrament ought to be given to children. Because children suffer from the same ailments sometimes as adults. Now the same disease requires the same remedy. Therefore this sacrament should be given to children the same as to adults.

❌ Objection 2 : Further, this sacrament is given in order to remove the remnants of sin, whether original or actual, as stated above (Question [30], Article [1]). Now the remnants of original sin are in children. Therefore this sacrament should be given to them.
