Are you catholic? Would you be aware of this.......?

I want to get my twins christened and i'm struggling to think of Godparents. I'm church of England, my best friends are Jewish and catholic. Now, I know that a catholic can be a godparent, but is a catholic brought up to think that they should only be godparent to another catholic child??

It is all about bringing a child up as a christian, not as a catholic. That's what a 'christening' is.

If you are Catholic yourself, please tell me how you would react if a church of England friend asked you to be Godparent to their child.

I've seen catholics use the term non-catholic (on this board when they mean 'non-christian', so I don't want to ask if it will be met with awkwardness.

ykwim??

I was always taught that - even if allowed - it was disrespectful to take communion in a Protestant church. I'm not sure of the reason why - perhaps because non-RC people aren't allowed to take communion in an RC church?

As for most Catholics not believeing in transubstantiation, well I'm a Catholic and I believe in it, as do my family. I can't speak for everyone but I was still under the impression that it was commonly held belief.

I am not sure I would to accept to be a godmother to a child to another denomination. I would first do my research, about what the differences are and make sure that the parents are happy with me telling the child what I believe.
And BTW I do not know one Catholic whe does not believe in transubstantiation, I thought it is basic for us Catholics.
