Can a child be baptized in church of England AND a catholic church?
Yes, but there is no real reason to.Some Catholics do not regard the baptism of a person as valid unless it is carried out in the Catholic church. However, as long as the baptism of a person is carried out in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (as instituted by Jesus himself at the very end of Matthew's Gospel) then that baptism is valid whatever the denomination. One is baptised a Christian and not a member of a particular denomination of the Christian Church. Therefore to be baptised again into another denomination is not only not needed, it could be regarded as a snub on the denomination in which the first baptism took place - as ifm it wasn't a 'proper' baptism - and, as such, is unChristian.As the Anglican Church, Catholic Church, Baptists, Methodists, URC and almost all other denominations of the Christian Church baptise in this way, in the name of the Trinity, then all are valid according to scripture. Those that are not include Mormon baptism (where the vows and beliefs are so different) and the baptism of Jehovah's Witnesses who deny the divinity of Christ and therefore cannot baptise in the name of the Trinity as commanded in Matthew's Gospel.

What is the format of baptismal certificate?
The front of the baptismal certificate provides a place for the name and address of the church where the baptism took place, then it specifies the date, the parents, the name of the sponsors, a place for the current priest to sign and date, and it should have the seal of the Church where it was issued. The back of the baptismal certificate has places to record the date and place other sacraments were received and the date and place where first Holy Communion was received. The "baptismal certificate" in the Catholic Church is just a copy of the record that is in the permanent record at the Church where the baptism took place. The actual certificate is good for only six months.

Does baby need godparents to be baptized in catholic church?
No........but the baby should have a sponsor IF POSSIBLE. The Sponsor is appointed by the Parents (or Parent), or whoever stands in their place, or failing that, by the Parish Priest or Minister of Baptism. The Sponsor must be at least 16 years of age and a baptised catholic, but in an emergency situation, the age rule can be adjusted but that person must be a baptised catholic. A person of another faith can be a sponsor only if there is a catholic sponsor present as well and only as a witness. There is no mention of god parents grandparents in the Code of Church law relating to baptism.

Can a Catholic baptism be annulled?
The Catholic Church does not accept that any baptism can be annulled. An ecclesiastical annulment is a declaration that a marriage never took place in spite of the couple undergoing a ceremony. Baptisms are conducted on the basis of either the faith of the person being baptised (if an adult) or the parents who promise to raise the child as a practising Christian. The Catholic Church teaches that a baptism cannot be repeated nor erased. Thus, Christians from other denominations are not rebaptised if the join the Catholic Church. This is because, in Baptism, the Church celebrates: (a) God's declaration that the person being baptised is His child (b) the person becoming a member of the Body of Christ (c) the forgiveness of sin. Regardless of subsequent actions on the part of the person being baptised, these declarations remain valid in the mind of the Church.
If a person says they are Catholic to marry in a Catholic church and are not Catholic is the marriage legal?
in civil law: yes.in Church law: it depends. if it's a marriage between a Catholic and a non-Catholic, the marriage is only valid if these 3 conditions are consented to: 1) the Catholic is allowed to practice their faith unhindered, 2) their children are to be raised Catholic, and 3) the Catholic spouse must attempt to convert the non-Catholic spouse.if it's a marriage between 2 non-Catholics, I don't know.ANSWER:1. Why would 2 non-Catholics want to be married in the Catholic Church in the first place?And, if they do, then convert to the Catholic Faith.2. Proof of Catholic baptism & confirmation is required for at least ONE of the prospective spouses. The Church won't just "take your word for it."
