Anyone that is a practicing Catholic that has already made their Confirmation.
.Also any family member that has done their confermation
And also a priest
I picked a priest....:)
Any Catholic of good standing can be a godparent though there are the following exceptions/requirements: There may only be two godparents, one of each sex. Non-catholics cannot be godparents, nor those under the age of 13, nor can the father, the mother, or the spouse, of the person who is to be baptized. A godparent cannot marry their godchild unless given a dispensation.
In liberal parishes, sometimes the priest allows a non-catholic to be a godparent, or fails to verify the faith of those presented as godparents. This is a modern trend and is against Church teaching and the entire purpose of having godparents, for a godparent enters into a spiritual relationship with the baptized and is responsible for helping them grow in their Faith which they cannot do if they themselves do not know it.
The Sacrament of Baptism is ordinarily conferred by a bishop, priest, or a deacon with the faculties to do so; however, in the case of an emergency laypersons (with the right intentions) may baptize provided an infant or adult is in danger of dying before a priest can be procured, any other person, whether man, woman, or child my baptize in the following manner:
While pouring common water on the head or face of the person, pronounce this verse:
I baptize you in the name of The Father, and of The Son, and of The Holy Spirit. Amen.
For a more in depth review I would recommend you have a look at the Catechism Of The Catholic Church section 1256.
Any practicing Catholic over sixteen years of age who has made his or her First Communion and has been confirmed can be a godparent or sponsor.
The godparent can be male or female, or one of each, who is a practicing catholic who has received Confirmation and who is at least 16 years of age
Any individual person as long as it is not a company.
Anyone can be a sponsor.
Anyone, whether catholic or not
Yes
no
If the couple was married in the Catholic Church then, yes, at the time of their marriage the couple promised to baptize and educate their children in the Catholic Church.
You would have to ask a Catholic Priest. Baptist don't baptize babies
If you were baptized in another church, you do not get baptized again. The Church recognizes the one baptism as valid.Roman Catholic AnswerYou may be baptized if the original baptism was not valid. You should check with the priest. If there is some question, they may baptize you conditionally, "if you are not already baptized, I baptize you in the Name of the Father..." as to attempt to "re-baptize" a person is very wrong.
yes, you have to be baptized in a catholic church in order to be catholicRoman Catholic AnswerNo, you must be baptized or received into the Church by a priest, if you have received Baptism previously in a protestant denomination and it is valid. If they are not sure of the validity of it, they will conditionally baptize you.
Yes, in cases of emergency, even unbaptized people can baptize. The baptizer needs to want to baptize the person into the Church and the use of the trinitarian formula: "I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."
If you are going to contract a marriage with a person who is not Catholic, and you wish to marry that person in the Church they belong, you may do so provided you have a dispensation. It is not necessary, therefore to marry in the Catholic Church to baptize your children. But it IS necessary to raise them in the PRACTICE of the Catholic Faith if you want your children baptized. This means YOU must make a concerted effort to attend Mass on Sunday's or Holy Days of obligation, and bring your children.
Seventh day Adventists baptize by immersion. Baptists also baptise in this way, as do Pentecostal churches. so do jehovahs witnesses
You cannot baptize your child in the Roman Catholic Church if you were not married in it. So you need to go with the other option. The child can only be named as a Roman Catholic if he/ she is baptised in a Catholic Church.
The Baptism font is what holds the water for baptisms in the Catholic Church.
The Catholic Church allows marriage between Catholics and non-Catholics. The interfaith couple will have to + Get permission from the bishop + Take a pre-marriage course + Promise to baptize and educate their children in the Catholic Church.
