Can someone not baptised attend a Catholic church?
No, to be a Godparent at a Catholic baptism one must be a baptized and practicing Catholic. However, you may also have another sponsor in addition to the Catholic Godparent. That second person does NOT have to be Catholic. Technically, they probably don't need to be christened, but what would be the point of having someone be a Godparent who does not believe in Christ?
Can a Jehovah witness be a godparent to a catholic baptism?
No. A godparent needs to be Catholic. If there is one catholic godparent, another sponsor can be admitted as Chrsitian witness only, if not Catholic, but Jehovah would not be condidered Christian as they have different belief in the creed we recite during baptism
I have been asked to be a godparent but i am a Sikh and havent been christened can i still be a godparent?
No you cannot be a Godparent if you are not a Roman Catholic. I guess the parents of the child have not consulted the priest before asking you. The moment they approach the church they will have to name another God parent who is baptised in the Roman Catholic Church.
Can a non-Catholic Christian be a Godparent?
No. Your sponsorship is your endorsement of the ceremony. Since Catholics believe that the fullness of the truth is in the teachings of the Catholic Church, sponsoring a non-Catholic baptism would mean you are allowing a loved one to be raised without the fullness of the truth. Therefore, all Catholics shouldn't be a sponsor at a non-Catholic baptism. The proper thing for a Catholic to do is to express that you are happy they are entering into the Christian faith but remark that the Catholic Church is the only Christian church founded by Jesus and therefore, they remain a separated brother or sister from the church unless they become Catholic. Remember, the key is to love them with a Christ-like love. That means being honest and telling them the truth. Not to give a watered down consent for a ceremony that will not bring them into full union with Christ's Church.
Do you have to be Catholic to be a godmother?
In order to be a sponsor (godparent) of a Catholic child being baptized, yes, the sponsor must be Catholic. Not only that, but Church law (c. 874) insists on several other qualifications:1. They be appointed by the child's parents and "have the aptitude and intention of fulfilling this function". This would mean that the selected godparent needs to know and practice the faith and also would have the ability and intention to share it with the child being baptized. A person who does not practice the faith (keeping the Ten Commandments and observing the Precepts of the Church is a good minimal line to consider) is not a good baptismal sponsor. 2. They must be 16 years old or older. 3. They must be a Catholic who has completed their Christian initiation (received Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist). 4. They must not be bound by a canonical penalty (excommunication, interdict, etc.). The most common cases here would include those who live in an 'irregular' marriage, those who have procured an abortion, and those who have left the Church by a formal act. Disqualifying circumstances like this should be referred to the parish priest to seek reconciliation. 5. They must not be the parent of the child to be baptized.The most challenging point to most folks is that the sponsor must actually be a good witness to the faith for the one being baptized. This is not simply an honorary function for family members, but parents should seriously consider who might best fulfill this important spiritual role in the child's life. Optimally, the sponsors/godparents should be people who has enough contact and influence over the child to be a good Confirmation sponsor some years down the road.A baptized person who is not Catholic may serve as a second "witness" to a baptism as long as one sponsor fully meets the expectations outlined above. Thus, if an aunt to the child who is Catholic and practicing her faith is married to a non-Catholic uncle who is baptized in another Christian community, it is possible for them to serve together as godparents, although technically only the aunt is a godparent and the uncle is simply a 'witness' to the baptism..Catholic AnswerYes, the Catechism says (in paragraph 1255) that the godparents must be "firm believers, able and ready to help the newly baptized on the road of Christian life (from the Code of Canon Law). A non-Catholic godparent would kind of defeat the purpose of having a godparent.

Do Baptists have Godparents at baptisms?
No. The Baptist church doesn't have infant baptism where the function of godparents is to speak for the child. As the person to be baptized in a Baptist church must be able to have decided for themselves on following Christ and receiving baptism, they don't have godparents to speak for them.
What does candidate mean in Catholic terms?

Why do Catholics need the Pope's blessing to convert to another religion?
Roman Catholic AnswerThere is no such thing as "converting to another religion." If you are a baptized Catholic, than you are a Catholic. If you are not attending Mass but have "joined" another religion, then you are considered an apostate, a heretic, or a schismatic But you are a Catholic apostate, Catholic heretic, or Catholic schismatic, and, no, the Pope is not going to give you a blessing for committing sin.

What is another name of a godfather on babydow?
A Godparent can send your baby gifts. Clothes, food, toys, books, snugglies, and some FF items. It'll all go to your cupboards though, so you can use it on whatever babies you want. A gifted snuggly will automatically become your child's snuggly, so you'll have to take it away and give it back to him/her to test it for Wellness.
