This happened during the celebration of the sacrament of baptism. What is a sacrament? According to the Online Etymology Dictionary (etymonline/index.php?allowed_in_frame=0...): Sacrament (n.) – “outward and visible sign of inward and spiritual grace”… from Old French sacrament “consecration; mystery” and directly from Latin sacramentum “a consecrating”, from sacrare “to consecrate”; a Church Latin loan-translation of Greek mysterion. That etymological definition alone shows baptism is sacred, which ought to be celebrated with solemnity, but with joy and gratitude. What happened as recorded in the video is the TOTAL OPPOSITE of what a sacrament means. In fact, what the priest did and said is SACRILEGIOUS, which is defined as an act that destroys, hurts or ruins something sacred (yourdictionary/sacrilegious). I cant even imagine how God can channel His grace through the sacrament of baptism if the human instrument (the priest) is a constraint. Online Etymology Dictionary etymonline
