The child was clearly not enjoying the Baptism process as the clergyman begins to look irritated saying "Calm Down, Calm down" translated from French.
The relatives still appear to be trying to remain calm as the priest snatches the bay's head and pulls it towards him.

The baby reacts badly and flails his right arms towards the woman.
The Priest then holds the baby's face towards his hands, looks it in the eyes and slaps it hard on the cheek with his left hand, stunning both parents.

Another woman can be seen coming in to intervene in the situation by putting her hand on the clergyman's chest as if to hold him back.
As the horrified audience begin the murmur, the priest repeats 'There, you have to calm yourself, you have to calm yourself, there, there.'
A the end of the video, the man who appears to be the baby's father steps in and prizes the child away from the Priest violent grip as the cleric tussles for possession of the child.
Truly shocking.
