i have a friend who does. no joke, but she has no personal religion, shes just plain christian.
ANSWER: Actually, it's done all the time but it's WRONG b/c it's dishonest. On the other hand, Baptism infuses the baby/child's soul with REAL grace that strengthens our souls and DOES, in reality, bring us into the family of Christians. Baptism is also a requirement for salvation so I'd say do it. Also,"just plain christian" IS still Christian. She wouldn't desire to have her child baptized in the first place unless she believed in the necessity and value of Baptism.

∙ 12y agoAbsolutely. Children can be christened in a Catholic church no matter what faith the parents are.
However, the Church will not baptize (Christen) a child unless the parents agree to bring the child up as a Catholic. That is, in most cases, not going to happen.

∙ 12y agoYep, absolutely he or she can! If your child is young, it may seem to you that he or she is somehow inseparable from you. As hard as it may seem to digest, one day this child will be old enough to make their own decisions about their faith. And although you can encourage them one way or another, they have free will that is independent of yours.
If you are very interested in exposing your child to the Catholic church, I urge you to educate yourself on teaching children to be good Catholics. Once educated, you may find it necessary to take your child to mass every Sunday, enroll them in Sunday school or even a Catholic school and watch over their spiritual development. It may seem like its hard to do or a lot of work. Well, that is what raising children is: hard work and sacrifice.
The priest will probably require that you promise to raise the child as a Catholic before he will baptize him or her.

∙ 10y agoAny child who is the child of a Catholic and/or is going to be raised as a Catholic (by a grandparent, or an orphanage, for instance) should be baptized, assuming that is what you mean by "christened" - to christen a child is to give them a name during baptism.

Are you Catholic if your father was Catholic but is something else now?
How does the status of ones fathers belief system have any baring on ones own belief system? Catholocism is only hereditary in the sense that ones parents teach their kids to believe the teachings of catholicism. One can easily learn these teachings from a friend or TV or any other means. If they chose to believe the teachings of Catholicism, then they can go to a Catholic church and go through the sacriments and join the Church regardless of what there father has or ever will believe. Likewise one can easily reject the teachings of their catholic parents and leave the church, they do not remain catholic just because their parents are catholic.Roman Catholic AnswerYou are Catholic if you have ever been baptized in the Catholic Church or if you have been validly baptized in a Christian denomination and received into the Church.

Are Catholic schools private schools?
Absolutely not. However, the kids are required to learn catholic catechism and attend Mass once a week during school. They also must take religion classes and learn prayers. Many children in Catholic schools are nonreligious, Muslim, or Jewish. They are usually respected but not permitted to demonstrate prayers unless for instructional purposes. They are certainly not forced to become Catholics!However, it is easier to be Catholic and attend Catholic school. Not to mention tuition is lower for members of the Catholic Church.
