I was baptized a Roman Catholic but confirmed Orthodox and I married a Greek Orthodox can I have my nephew baptized in a Catholic Church?
Since you are confirmed Orthodox and married a Greek Orthodox, the Orthodox Church requires that any children you may have should be baptized Orthodox. Also, as an Orthodox, you are not allowed to baptize your nephew or any other person in a catholic church. From the Catholic point of view, unless your nephew is to be reared a Catholic, he may not be baptized in the Catholic Church. If he is to be reared Catholic, either by his parents or godparents, the Church will receive him. No you are GREEK orthodox u must not I reapeat not baptisma your child at a catholic church.

Are you a Catholic if you are Christened?
Catholics are Christians. Any one who wants to convert to Catholicism would go through a program called R.C.I.A. short for 'Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults'. This is usually for adults but children coming into the faith would go through this process even if they're under 15. All catholics receive 7 sacraments throughout their lives, from birth to death. R.C.I.A. is a two year program that leads the person into a much deeper understanding of the faith and they receive Baptism, Reconciliation, First Communion, and Confirmation. A person growing up Catholic would receive these as they grow, until they get to the age of 15, when they receive Confirmation.
