HELP? To get son christened?

[pliuyawa]

Hello MN'ers - advice please...

I was christened into CoE as a baby. Husband was into Catholicism. Neither of us go to church or practice either religion however my husbands family do (Catholicism)

They want to get our first child christened as a Catholic as it would mean a lot to them. As I say, husband doesn't practice and so I feel a fraud even getting him christened.

Also I feel like as I'm CoE, I'd rather that if anything, though my family wouldn't mind too much either way I don't think.

What do I do...? I don't know enough about either to be be completely honest...

Ps you have a son so it's less relevant, but if I had a catholic partner part of my argument for my church would be that I'd want my daughter to be in a church where she could be more equal eg be a vicar if she wanted to be.there's a lot about the Catholic Church eg anti abortion legislation pressure that I couldn't get on board with either - but I might consider another kind of church if it aligned with my values

Personally, couldn’t stand in a church saying stuff I didn’t mean.

This.

If you and you partner don’t practice any religion then it would be pretty dishonest to lie in chinch and say that you will, just to keep your IL happy.

You might as well start as you mean to go on and bring your child up with honesty and integrity. your DP ( NOT you ) needs to tell him family to butt out. Otherwise they will make your life a misery and threaten your marriage with their constant interfering.
