If its name is Happy it is baptized Happy. The church prefers a saint name but now there are so many names it is allowed. Some old school priests may not be happy, however.
Blessed Pope John Paul II, of happy memory, approved the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Roman Catholic AnswerNo, you do not. You can discuss this with your priest, he will be more than happy to tell you your available options.
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.
Some patron saints of the Catholic church are St. Augustine, St. Nomal, and St. Dorcas. A dedicated agent will be happy to help you find more information on their official website.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe root cause for the Catholic Church is the love that God has for His people in sending His Son, Our Blessed Lord, to die for our sins in order to give us the chance to be reunited with God and happy with Him forever in heaven.
The Catholic Church wasn't happy. For a thousand years they had controlled government and society. They were the connection between man and God. The idea that man could seek God for himself was against the church doctrine. They were loosing control.
You should continue to discuss this. A child has the right to be baptized if the parents are willing to do the best they can to bring up the child as Catholic, even if only one does. But if you are disagreeing in this perhaps you can have someone faciliate the discussion. It is not the intent of the church to create family conflicts over what should be a happy occasion. If you were marired in the Catholic Church the catholic oarty took an oath to do the best he or she can to bring up the children as Catholic.
Roman Catholic commentPerhaps a better question would be, "who doesn't have tensions with the Catholic Church?" Jesus told us that we would stand alone against the world, the flesh, and the devil, and that men would hate us. The press, in particular, has been, pardon the expression, crucifying the Catholic Church, the Bishops, and particularly the Holy Father. The Church has always stood as the witness to God in this world, and the world, whose prince, as Jesus tells us, is Satan, is not happy with this witness.
The Liberal Catholic Church, has allowed priests to marry since it was founded in 1916. That's also true of most of the Eastern apostolic rites of the Catholic Church. Only the Roman Catholic had been restrictive regarding marriage. It's called The Liberal Catholic Church because of this, and because in simple terms it offers the 7 traditional Catholic Sacraments "with no strings attached," i.e., it does not tell you how to live on such life questions as birth control, or divorce. The clergy will be happy to discuss your difficult life decisions with you over a cup of coffee, but you make the final decision. This means you don't have to be a hypocrite about your relationship with the divine, and you can worship in Church with a clear conscience. The Liberal Catholic Church presently has three Episcopal Jurisdictions; Bishop Wale, Bishop Warnon and The Liberal Catholic Church International. Only the original +Wale jurisdiction still restricts Holy Orders to men, the other two have opened the door to women since 2003, which makes the 7th Sacrament Holy Orders, open to all with no gender restrictions.

.Catholic AnswerThe "just wage" is part of Church teaching. Pope Leo XIII, of happy memory, covered it extensively in his rightly famous Encyclical Rerum Novarum at the link below:
No.Roman Catholic AnswerPeople in Church will be delighted to have you. There are usually greeters at the doors. You may introduce yourself, tell them you are not a member and they will be more than happy to help you, showing you what to do, if you want, and what not to do! Another Answer:Most churches are very welcoming to visitors. Many have greeters or ushers who will be more than happy to help you and share information about the church and introduce you to other members and church leaders.However, there are a few religions who have a more restrictive view of who they can pray and worship with. Even so, there will be someone at the church, usually ushers, deacons, or greeters, who will willingly help you and provide information.
Speak to your local Catholic parish priest. Adults will need to go through a catechism/RCIA course at your local Catholic parish church. Since you have already been baptized, but in another Christian non-Catholic community, you will not be baptized again and instead you will go through another rite called the The Rite of Reception of Baptized Christians into the full Communion of the Catholic Church. I would strongly recommend you to speak to your local parish priest who will be more than happy to advise you.
