No, because Christians can only be baptized once, as we say in the Creed: "I acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins."
The Pope has stated that he accepts all Orthodox baptisms as valid, but not all Orthodox churches accept Roman Catholic baptisms as being valid (because Catholics sprinkle with water, rather than fully immerse), so a child baptized in an Orthodox Church would be accepted as valid by both.

∙ 15y agoUsually yes, so long as the godparent of the child is also Orthodox. If a Catholic marries an Orthodox (which strictly speaking is not permitted), but this is only allowed as an exception, if the couple agrees to baptize the child in the Orthodox Church. An Orthodox baptism is recognized by all Catholics, but Catholic baptisms are not recognized by all Orthodox, as Catholic baptisms are actually done by aspersion or sprinkling, rather than by full immersion (which is what the Greek word 'baptize' actually means) and has been the tradition of the Orthodox Church for the last 2,000 years.
Another view:
However, there is a difference between something that is 'possible' and something that is 'probable': since when a Catholic marries a non-Catholic they must actually sign an agreement that all their children will only be raised Catholic , it is wiser to assume that the children will most likely be baptized Catholic regardless.

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 Spanish American who is a originally a Roman Catholic Christian be re baptized as a Greek Orthodox Christian?
Yes. If you were baptized as a Roman Catholic (ie. with triple immersion in water) then you do not need to be re-baptized, and you can simply be Chrismated into the Orthodox Faith. But if you were only sprinkled (sometimes called aspersion) then the correct practice is that you should be baptized (ie. with immersion) as an Orthodox Christian.
Can an infant be baptized in the Catholic church yet be Orthodox his church yet retain an Orthodox membrshp?
No, baptism in the Catholic Church automatically means that you are bound to all the laws of the Rite in which you are baptized. Orthodox Churches are in schism, however, there is a Catholic Rite for each of the Orthodox Churches. When the Orthodox split, half of them remained with the Catholic Church, so there is a Greek Uniate Rite as well as a Greek Orthodox Church. A Catholic has no problem with going to the sacraments in another Rite.

Are you considered Catholic if you are a Greek Orthodox?
A:You are what you wish to be. Your own personal religious beliefs can only be decided by you, so you could choose to be Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, or indeed not hold any religious commitment at all. It is entirely up to you..Catholic AnswerYou follow the rite of either parent, most likely the rite in which you were baptized. However, the Orthodox Churches are not technically separate rites, they are in schism. If you mother is Catholic, and you were baptized in the Catholic Church, then you follow whatever rite that she is. If you baptized in the Greek Orthodox Church, your baptism is valid, but you need to convert, so you need to speak with a priest.
