Can you be a Episcopalian god parent if you are not religious?
IF the parents of the child pick you as a GodParent, I would think that is something they would have to ask their priest, etc. I do know that, not being a Catholic, I am a godparent for a child who was born into the Catholic church...
In the Roman Catholic Church can you change a child's godparents?
No, once a Godparent, always a Godparent in the Catholic Church.
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 child be baptized a Catholic if their godmother is not Catholic?
No, because a Godparent's purpose is to help assure that the child is raised as a Catholic. If the Godparent is not a Catholic there is no assurance that this responsibility will be complied with by the non-Catholic person.
Can a non catholic be a christian?
.Catholic AnswerIf you mean can a protestant be a Godparent for a Catholic, then the answer is no. The Godparent's job is to bring the child up in the Catholic faith, and the first basic requirement of a Godparent is that they are a good practicing Catholic.
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.
Can a priest become a child's god father?
No. The godparent must be a practicing Catholic, because their job as a godparent is to guide the child in practicing their faith. If the godparent isn't Catholic, then they can't fulfill their duties: they can't be a godparent.
Why is a godparent needed at a catholic baptism?
In case something happens to a parent, there will be a godparent to insure the child continues his/her religious education until Confirmation.
Can only 1 Godparent to a catholic child be a non-catholic adult?
Yes, and they would be called a Christian Witness.
Why cant a Methodist be a Godmother to a Catholic?
Roman Catholic AnswerBeing a Godparent is a very solemn responsibility, the godparent assumes an obligation to instruct the child in the event of the death or neglect of the parents, in order to fulfill the baptismal promises. Being a godparent creates a spiritual relationship that is recognized in ecclesiastical law. Being a Methodist would tend to give the impression that you were not a very good, practicing Catholic, and thus would not be qualified to take on the responsibilities before God of raising the child in the Catholic faith while giving a good example of living the Catholic faith.
Will a school with strong Anglo-Catholic tradition accept your child if neither she or you are Catholic?
Roman Catholic AnswerIf a school as strong Anglo-Catholic traditions, this means that it is High Church Anglican or Episcopalian; in other words, it is a protestant school with some Catholic traditions. I see no reason why they would not accept your child if you are willing to go along with their rules. Please note, however, that it is not a Catholic school.
