To be baptized Catholic as a child, the only proof required is that parents must have the intent to raise child in the Catholic faith.
To be baptized Catholic as an adult, you need to attend classes on the rite of Christian initation (RCIA) and then be baptized. These classes meet for about 6 months before baptism at Easter Vigil
Yes, anyone who hasn't been baptised before (Being baptised in another Church and going to the Catholic doesn't require another baptism) can be baptised. Talk to the parish priest and he'll tell you the informaiton you need.
Yes, IF there is a well-founded hope that the child will be raised in the Catholic faith and you can convince your parish priest of this. You will need to receive instruction before this can happen, talk with your priest.
Roman Catholic AnswerYou need to speak with your priest. Normally, if the baptism in a protestant church was valid, then they do not have to be baptised Catholic before receiving the sacraments. If there is some doubt as to whether or not it was valid, then the priest will arrange for a conditional baptism: "If you are not already baptised, I baptise you in the name ...."
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.
They can only marry if they are not Catholics anymore. Because Catholic church frowns on divorces.Roman Catholic Answer:This is a problem which you would have to discuss with a priest. A non-Catholic woman may or may not be considered married in the eyes of the church depending on her situation and her ex-husband's situation. The children would be irrelevant in establishing whether she was in a binding marriage. Either way, she would have to discuss this with a priest and see if an annulment could be obtained (a decree that no marriage ever took place in the eyes of God). If the non-Catholic was baptised and her husband was also baptised then there would probably be considered a marriage existing, but, again, you need to talk to a priest.
Any baptised person who wishes to deny himself, take up his cross and follow Christ. You also need to contact your local Catholic clergy about fomalising your position.
Yes, you can; you will need to witness the Catholic party's oath to bring up the children as Catholic, and have the proper paperwork approved by the bishop, but this should not hold up the marriage in most circumstances. This needs also to be a first marriage, and other impediments may apply, so see a priest for more details.
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.
*If you are not a Catholic, you cannot be married by a Catholic priest or in a Catholic church. * You need to check that answer above because i don't think you are right. Non Catholics can get married in the Catholic Church. One partner has to be a Catholic and the other should be a baptised Christian but ideally the couple should contact their local priest.
I think not, but I've heard of a Catholic priest who didn't give a Catholic woman and a Protestant man permission to get married before the man promised that their future children would be raised Catholic. No one has to be baptised Catholic although I strongly suggest that you do so. That is totally absurd. The answer is YES. Plain and simple. All catholic parents have a requirement to baptise their children as catholics. Furthermore, if a parent is married to a non-catholic, which they should not be, then the only way their marriage can be blessed is if the catholic spouse vows to raise the kids catholic. Otherwise, as catholics, you are commiting a mortal sin by not protecting the souls of your children. That is the reason the priest made them promise. The protestant spouse may have also been told that they need to convert.
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.
Call the parish office and get the baptism schedule, and a priest or deacon will baptize. You are expected to raise up the child catholic and have him/her receive communion and attend religious ed classes. You may need to attend a brief session prior, along with godparents, who need to be catholic, baptized, and confirmed. Only one is required; if two godparents, one male and one female.
