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 gay person christen a baby in the greek orthodox church?
The Orthodox Church does not divide persons into gay or straight, so neither is a qualification for god-parenting. More pertinent distinctions in the Orthodox Church would be: practicing and non-practicing Orthodox; chaste and unchaste lifestyle; in good standing within the community or lapsed. Consequently, there would be no objection to any person, gay-straight-or otherwise, who is practicing the Orthodox faith, leads a chaste life-style, and is in good standing in her/his local Orthodox community.
Is the person in charge of a Greek Orthodox church called a priest or a pastor or something else?

Can a Greek Orthodox person marry someone who is Coptic Orthodox?
Yes, according to an agreement reached between the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria and the Coptic Orthodox Church in 2001. Actually, prior to this agreement, a Greek Orthodox person could still have married a Coptic Orthodox person, but for the marriage to be recognized by both Churches it would have had to be performed twice (once in each Church). The agreement obligates each Church to recognize the validity of a marriage performed in the other Church.
Are Catholics christened?
A:A Catholic is someone who belongs to, or accepts the teachings of, the Roman Catholic Church. He or she will no doubt have been christened, but so are members of other Christian Churches.Catholic AnswerA Catholic is someone who has been baptized in the Catholic Church, OR someone who has been validly baptized outside the Church in the name of the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) with water running on the forehead, or immersion, and with the intention to do what the church does. In the later case, that person would have to be accepted into the Church by a formal act and be confirmed by the bishop. I guess it really depends on what you mean by "christened".
Can a Church of England person receive communion in a Catholic Church?
No, a Catholic should not receive communion in anything but 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.
