Catholic Answer This is a complicated question that can only be answered by the parish priest in charge of the parish in which the child resides. To be baptized there MUST be a well-founded hope that the child will be raised as a Christian. If the the mother or father raising the child is a practicing Catholic then there should be no problem. However, if the child is living with a parent who is engaging in a sinful lifestyle and obviously disregarding Church teachings then I think the possibility of a well-founded hope would be pretty slim.

How can a child of a Lutheran and Catholic parent be baptised to make both parents happy?
A person can only be baptized once so baptizing in both churches would be redundant. Generally, when a non-Catholic marries a Catholic they are required to affirm that any children must be raised as Catholics before the Church will allow them to marry. Therefore, if they were married in a Catholic church the children should be baptized in a Catholic church. If the parents were not married in a Catholic church, then they have another problem. They need to regularize their marriage to be in full communion with the Catholic Church. They must arrange to have their marriage blessed by the Catholic Church.
