Best Answer

Im guessing it would depend on the stance of the parents, godparents or other relatives.

ANSWER

No. Per RCC Canon law, at least ONE of the Godparents must be a Catholic in good standing (and provide documentation from his/her parish confirming that fact).

The role of a Godparent is to assist the child's parents in raising the child in the Catholic faith. How and why would a non-Catholic be suitable for such an important spiritual role? He/she would not.

No;

From the Code of Canon Law:

§1 To be admitted to undertake the office of sponsor, a person must:

1° be appointed by the candidate for baptism, or by the parents or whoever stands in their place, or failing these, by the parish priest or the minister; to be appointed the person must be suitable for this role and have the intention of fulfilling it;

2° be not less than sixteen years of age, unless a different age has been stipulated by the diocesan Bishop, or unless the parish priest or the minister considers that there is a just reason for an exception to be made;

be a Catholic who has been confirmed and has received the blessed Eucharist, and who lives a life of faith which befits the role to be undertaken;

4° not labour under a canonical penalty, whether imposed or declared;

5° not be either the father or the mother of the person to be baptised.

(CIC 874 §1)

Yes, a catholic person can be a god parent in the Anglican church. Anglicans believe as long as you are Christian, denomination does not matter.

If you get your son baptized Lutheran is he still recognized by the Catholic Church?

Short answer: Yes. Longer explanation: your son will be recognized as being baptized into the Christian community. All Christian baptisms are recognized by the Catholic Church. Longer answer: His baptism is recognized, as are other Trinitarian baptisms and church marriages, as well. That does not make him Catholic. That does not make him welcome to receive the Eucharist at a Catholic Mass. He is recognized as a baptized Christian, separated from the fullness of the Church.

Only the Sacrament of Baptism, that is performed in another Christian Church, is recognized by the Catholic Church..Catholic AnswerThe only sacrament that can be given by anyone - even a non-baptized person - is baptism. Every other sacrament, including confirmation, requires a validly ordained priest, which can only be found in a Catholic Church, or in an Orthodox Church which has maintained valid orders.
