[De communione et conversatione Iudaeorum et Christianorum]

It is evident from the Lateran Council. And it is placed in Extra de Iudaeis Decretals on the Jews, chapter "Iudei" 2, where it is said: if, furthermore, by God inspiring them they are converted to the Christian faith, they should in no way be excluded from their possessions. See more widely above in the eighth advice. For according to the doctors, the children of Jews or infidels are not to be baptized against the will of their parents; but when they have arrived at the years of discretion, they can receive the faith even against the will of their parents. Thus says William. It is not permitted for nurses to baptize the children of Jews; if, however, she were to do that in the article of death of the children, it is not believed that she sins, because then they cease to be the possession of the parents, and they cease to be under their care; thus no injury is done to the parents. Richard says otherwise, or when they are healthy. Whence, as long as infants lack the use of free will, then by the law of nature they are as if the possession of the parents and under their care; thus if they were baptized against the will of the parents, an injury would be done to them. Also, the church does not have that custom, because if baptized infants were restored to parents, they would afterwards accustom them to their errors in contempt of the faith. If they were not restored, danger would often come, because before or after the parents would often kill their own infants lest they be baptized, or if they were baptized. In no way is anyone to be helped against the law and into the danger of the death of another. God also wishes that the right which remains to parents in the bodies of infants be kept safe; otherwise their baptism would be more to the dishonor of the sacrament of faith than to its honor. And just as Jewish parents, whether baptized or not, cannot exclude Catholic sons from paternal succession, so if parents were baptized and had prevaricated the faith, the penalty of the parents ought not to harm the sons in their goods. For that is the Council of Toledo, and it has it in 1, q. 4, chapter "Iudei", where the text says: baptized Jews
