Question
We are having our great-grandson baptised this Saturday and I would like to make sure that the exorcism prayer is read.  Can you tell me what that prayer is and how I should ask the deacon, since the priests no longer do baptisms, to make sure this prayer is included.  We also want to make sure that the traditional baptism is done not the modern baptism.  Can we ask for that?

Thank you for your help.  

Answer
You are mixing apples and oranges.  You are obviously dealing with a New Order situation, which use an entirely different form of Baptism and practice a different "new" Faith.  It is as if you were going to a cardiologist for a toothache instead of a dentist.

If you are a traditional Catholic and therefore want a traditional Baptism, you need to go to a traditional Mass site.  See the Official Traditional Catholic Directory listing of such sites at www.traditio.com/tradlib/masslat.pdf.  You are not going to get a traditional Baptism at a Modernist (New Order) site.
