Not really, although some Greek Orthodox accept them by 'economia' which means by dispensation or by making an exception to the rule. However, many Orthodox do not regard a Catholic baptism as valid, because Roman Catholics no longer baptize; they now sprinkle with water.
The word baptize comes from the Greek word 'baptizma' which means to immerse and completely cover in water. Sprinkling with water is called 'aspersion', but it is not the same as a baptism.
An Orthodox baptism is recognized by all Catholics, but Catholic baptisms are not recognized by all Orthodox.
Baptism by triple immersion has been the tradition of the Orthodox Church for the last 2,000 years, but the Roman Catholics stopped performing baptisms in 1545 when the Council of Trent made aspersion the official position.

∙ 14y agoIf a Christian from another denomination decides to be Catholic, he doesn't need to be baptised again because it is pretty much the same baptism in all the denominations, they all follow the same words which Jesus gave.
A priest should be the one baptising. Regular people can only baptise in an emergency when the person is about to die.
You have to say:
"I baptise you in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."
That was what Jesus told us to say to baptise.

∙ 14y agoA Catholic (Preferably a priest, regular people can only baptise in an emergency) can baptise any child as long as the child is not baptised yet. If the child is baptised into any Christian faith, they cannot be baptised again in the Catholic church.
This is because all the Christians believe you get cleansed of original sin and become a Child of God.

∙ 13y agoNo, because the sponsor (godparent) has to pledge to raise the baptized (child usually) in accordance with the catholic faith, and an Orthodox person cannot do this. However, if the catholics accept other denominations to baptize catholics, that is up to them.

∙ 13y agoYes of course! The Orthodox Church welcomes people of all backgrounds who wish to become members of the Eastern Orthodox Church. You will need to speak to an Orthodox priest or bishop first, and then they will advise you about the procedures and whether a period of catechism (instruction in the Faith) is required before a baptism can take place. You can go to either a Greek Orthodox Church or an Antiochian Orthodox church to begin the process.

Yes, any baptism done in the name of the Trinity with water that actually runs on the body and intends to do what the Church does when it baptizes is valid.

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.

Can a divorced greek orthodox woman marry a catholic man in a catholic church if her first marriage was annulled by the greek church?
The answers is no, if he wasn't divorced,yes,because the catholic church recognises the orthodox church as valid since they were one church before.However if he is divorced he is not allowed in either catholic or orthodox. A Catholic can marry any non- Catholic, and it is recognized as a sacrament in the Catholic church. Only when the individual has been previously married there is an issue. In which case that individual must have their previous marriage annuled. The Catholic church permits Catholics to marry in the Orthodox church and it is a sacrament. I have spoken to Catholic priests and Catholic Bishops and they do not see a problem with a Greek annulment, as being an impediment. If that individual did not have their marriage previously annulled than it would be an issue.
