Can you christen your baby Catholic if you or your partner are not?
Catholics are Christians. So any baby baptised in a Catholic Church is being baptised as a Christian. If you want your baby to be a Protestant, another type of Christian, then you would not have them baptised in a Catholic church.
If one parent is divorced and has a child can the child be baptized in the catholic church?
Yes, IF there is a well-founded hope that the child will be raised in the Catholic faith and you can convince your parish priest of this. You will need to receive instruction before this can happen, talk with your priest.
If one parent is Roman Catholic do children have to be christened Roman Catholic?
I think not, but I've heard of a Catholic priest who didn't give a Catholic woman and a Protestant man permission to get married before the man promised that their future children would be raised Catholic. No one has to be baptised Catholic although I strongly suggest that you do so. That is totally absurd. The answer is YES. Plain and simple. All catholic parents have a requirement to baptise their children as catholics. Furthermore, if a parent is married to a non-catholic, which they should not be, then the only way their marriage can be blessed is if the catholic spouse vows to raise the kids catholic. Otherwise, as catholics, you are commiting a mortal sin by not protecting the souls of your children. That is the reason the priest made them promise. The protestant spouse may have also been told that they need to convert.
How can a child of a Lutheran and Catholic parent be baptised to make both parents happy?
A person can only be baptized once so baptizing in both churches would be redundant. Generally, when a non-Catholic marries a Catholic they are required to affirm that any children must be raised as Catholics before the Church will allow them to marry. Therefore, if they were married in a Catholic church the children should be baptized in a Catholic church. If the parents were not married in a Catholic church, then they have another problem. They need to regularize their marriage to be in full communion with the Catholic Church. They must arrange to have their marriage blessed by the Catholic Church.
What do you call children who are related due to their parents marriage but neither have the same biological parent?
In a marriage in which both the husband and the wife have children from a previous marriage, the children are step-children to the parent who is not their bioloigical parent, and are step-siblings (step-brothers and step-sisters) to each other.
Does one have to be Baptised to be a godparent of a Catholic child?
Officially, a child can only have a Catholic christening if at least one parent is a Catholic, as the priest needs to have a "well-founded hope" that the child will be brought up in the Catholic Faith. No, not really. Some religions do have rules but normally, the is no.
Does baby need godparents to be baptized in catholic church?
No........but the baby should have a sponsor IF POSSIBLE. The Sponsor is appointed by the Parents (or Parent), or whoever stands in their place, or failing that, by the Parish Priest or Minister of Baptism. The Sponsor must be at least 16 years of age and a baptised catholic, but in an emergency situation, the age rule can be adjusted but that person must be a baptised catholic. A person of another faith can be a sponsor only if there is a catholic sponsor present as well and only as a witness. There is no mention of god parents grandparents in the Code of Church law relating to 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.
If a custodial parent lives in another state and has lived there with her 2 children but child support was started in another state can the non-custodial parent have the case transferred to that state?
If neither parent still live in the original jurisdiction, it can be transferred to the jurisdictions of either parent.
Does a parent who owes back child support have to pay if only one of the adult children involved want to get it and the other one refuses and neither adult child is in college?
Probably - the support is owed to the obligee (i.e., other parent and/or State), not to the children.
