You don't say in what church - the rules may be different from one church to another. But let me explain something. Whatever your beliefs about conception out of wedlock, it is certainly not the child's fault; so if your church denies baptism to the child as a result, it is about time to change to another church.
Yes, a divorced man can usually get his child baptized even if the child was conceived out of wedlock. The church's main concern is the spiritual well-being of the child, and baptism is usually available to all children regardless of their parents' marital status. It's best to check with the specific church or religious institution for their individual policies on this matter.
Yes, Maximilian Kolbe was baptized in the Roman Catholic Church as a child.
Babies can be christened at any age, although it is more common for infants to be baptized within the first few months of life. Some families choose to wait until their child is older so they can make the decision themselves.
Baptism is the sacrament by which individuals are incorporated into the Catholic Church and cleansed of original sin. It is considered the first step in the journey of faith and is essential for salvation according to Catholic doctrine. It also marks the beginning of a person's life as a member of the Christian community.
A christening is a Christian religious ceremony where a baby is baptized, marking their entry into the Christian faith. It is typically performed by a priest or minister, and involves the sprinkling or immersion of water on the baby's head to symbolize purification and initiation into the church. Family and friends usually gather to witness and celebrate the occasion.
Paul McCartney was baptized as a child through the Roman Catholic church, but has never considered himself to be particularly religious. He has admitted to being "very spiritual, however, and it is rumored that he will soon be converting to Judaism because of his current wife, Nancy.
According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the base rule for who can be baptized is "Every person not yet baptized and only such a person is able to be baptized." http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p2s2c1a1.htm#1246 Given that children with one non-Catholic parent are regularly baptized, I would imagine it is possible, but if the divorced parent re-married, without annulment, the other parent of the child then there would be grave concerns about the likelihood of the child being raised in the Faith. Most priests would not agree to such a baptism. If the parents were divorced after the child was conceived, or if the divorced parent also has an annulment, then I can't think of any reason that the child could not be baptized.
Yes, a child can be baptized if his parents are separated, even if they are divorced. Children are not penalized for the mistakes of their parents.
No, there is no indication that Walter Payton ever cheated on his wife.
Not at all. If the denomination of your current church won't allow it, there are lots of other denominations that will (e.g. Lutherans, Methodists, Episcopals, Presbyterians, etc.).
I can't find any evidence that he ever had a child out of wedlock.
Roman Catholic AnswerOf course, if the child is baptized, it is required that he be raised in the Catholic faith. If a child is not baptized, there must be reasonable assurance that he will be raised in the faith, to be baptized.
An illegitimate child can be baptized.
An out of wedlock child is entitled to the same share as an in wedlock child. It is the biology that is crucial and not marital status. You should check the laws of intestacy in your jurisdiction.
It will typically be the child. The law does not care that the child is not the issue of marriage. If the child is underage, the money will be in a trust fund. Consult a probate attorney in your state for specific rules of intestacy.
No.
It means that the mother and father of the child were not married
