Re: Pls help settle an argument re: baptizing a baby
To my knowledge, your children can still be baptized. one is quite different from the other.
However, that said, if the faith is important enough to you to baptize your children, perhaps maybe you should think about marrying in the Catholic Church? One of the vows in a Catholic ceremony is promising to raise any children born/adopted to the couple as Catholics.

That's ridiculous. Of course, you can have your children baptized. One sacrament has nothing do with the other. How, where and who you have officiate at your wedding has no bearing at all when you want to have your children baptized. Whoever told you this needs to get a copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Church and read pages 324 - 325, sections 1275 through 1284. I hate when people mouth off about things they clearly don't understand. Rest assured, you can have your children baptized in a Catholic church.
...do you want to talk to them for me?? hahaha. Thanks!
Absolutely! I love a good discussion about religion and faith.

Godparents must have received all customary sacraments and must be in "good standing" in the church.
This is Wrong.
DH was never confirmed and he has 3 godchildren- all baptized at 3 different churches.
i'm sure some of it depends on the church, but they never had a problem at any of those 3 churches.
As for the parents- my mom wasn't married when she had me, and i was baptized. Then, her and my dad were married at city hall, and my sister and brother were still baptized.
i wouldn't worry too much about it.

depends on the church and how flexible they are
i agree.
i think you'll have no prob finding churches that are OK with that - but some might give you a hard time - it all depends on the church and head priest. i've witnessed this a few times - but that's not the end of the world as long as you don't mind going to a different church if the one you want/belong to gives you a hard time.

Re: Pls help settle an argument re: baptizing a baby
All churches have different rules, my dh and i were never asked for any proof of religion or sacraments when we were asked to be godparents, and her parents were not married in a church,
you really just have to go to the church and ask and if they turn you down go to another church, someone will say yes to you

Re: Pls help settle an argument re: baptizing a baby
I did not read all the replies to this thread so I am sorry if this is too late or repetitive, but, my husband and I are both Catholic but did not get married in a church. Because I wanted to be married outdoors, a Priest wouldn't do it. My parents were freaked out about how we would never be able to baptize our children, but guess what? When my DS was born, we joined a church, and with relatively no proof or paperwork of anything, he was baptized. You may not be able to have the specific priest or church that you want to do the Christening, but you can find a place. Don't sweat it.
