Catholic christening question

[Tabkat]

I would like to have my daughter christened as a Catholic and would like some advice. I was brought up as a practising Catholic but have since been divorced. My df is also divorced and Church of England. Will I be able to have her christened as I would like?

The only requisite the church asked from us was to want the child to grow being part of the catholic community he was baptised in. Just that. If one parish tells you is not possible, ignore them and try to find a more sympathetic one, I'm sure it would be OK.

If everythigs fails... you can baptise her yourself

it would be ok

you should be able to have her baptised Catholic without any problems.

The point of Catholic is that the person is joining, not the parents. The very core of the faith is bringing in people by baptism, and if you restricted it to children of Catholics it would never have grown to it's present numbers.

That's part of the reason there are godparents (like me), rather than parents to answer the questions about forsaking the devil etc.

Godparents should be Catholics of course, and since I have not yet been excommunicated, have a number of godkids.
That being said, no one has ever asked me if I was, but it does rather go against the spirit ob the thing to have people lie about their relinion.

So what you do need to think about is getting godparents.
