– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hi there, Does anyoneknow if you have to be a Catholic to be a Catholic’s godmother? How long does the process take? What’s involved? Angela You don’t have to be Catholic if the baby’s godfather is a practicing Catholic. You go to classes to prepare for the obligations of bringing up a child in the Catholic faith–in our case, the classes were done in a single weekend.
In other words there is little responsibility in the position and is merely another catholic ritual that has no spiritual benefit! If you want to feel close to the child and family host some family get togethers were you may have an oppurtunity to do good and plant seeds.

Angela I would flat out decline the invitation! Pity that you would decline the invitation to play an important role in a child’s life. An important role?
Yep. Try to get it away from the church, that’s my advice.
The advice of an idiot. Just what people always want. Let the child live in peace and in safety.
Then you should keep the child away from teachers, coaches, neighbors, relatives… Because any of them have as much, or greater chance of molesting the child than anyone in a Catholic School. We already have enough confusion in our lives without trying to be nice and welcoming more! Wait until the child gets older and teach him or her the proper way to worship God if you feel you may be qualified at that time! You still aren’t qualified Skii. That’s giving the poster a defeatest attitude. AJ I’m sure can do a fine
job with the help of God! Sure, but not with your help. You’re way to ignorant. You might be jeapordizing the future of this child since there is a
great liklihood that it will be placed in danger in a Catholic school. Danger of what? Being exposed to idiots like yourself? Being *tinkeled* with mentally, physically and spiritually.
Not really… mentally – children are educated (students in Catholic Education here in America score highly on national tests, most go on to college, earning millions in scholarship money). physically – more chance of being *tinkeled* physically by a relative, or coach. spiritually – raised in faith in Jesus Christ isn’t *tinkeled* As we all know there is a influx of perversion and manipulation that has been going on for quite some time and will not go away soon. Yep… your perversion and manipulation of the truth isn’t likely to disappear anytime soon. I was never a catholic priest!
No, you aren’t… nor ever were. But you are perverting and manipulating the truth Don’t be foolish and promote your acceptance of the parents decision to place their child in danger! The child is in more danger from neighbors and coaches. Most car accidents happen around the home. Should you stay away from home?

If the godfather is Catholic you don’t have to be, you do have to be a Christian. Although the Church considers the non-Catholic Christian to be a witness rather than a sponsor (the Church speaks of sponsors rather than godparents), that doesn’t change anything as far as the child and the family are concerned. There is no set time span for becoming a Catholic. It all depends on where you already are on your faith journey. Ideally it is a process, rather than a program. For some it may last a year, for some many years and some never get to that point in their journey. An Anglican Christian who has been catechized and active in his/her church for years will most likely reach that point fairly quickly where a non-Christian may take considerably longer. But there are no set rules. It all depends on you. Your best bet would be to contact a Catholic church near you and inquire about the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. It is a process that starts with discernment to help you decide if this is something you really want to pursue and then helps you along your journey. Suzanne

Wrong again. You have proven many times over you have no desire for Truth.
We pray over and over you will come to the Truth, not that fools gold you’ve been peddling here for years.

I attended a Catholic School and had many Religious Instructions about the Catholic Church while attending the school. I’ve being baptised and confirmed as an Anglican at my church. My question is that now that I have married my wife in her church, Catholic I too would want to become Catholic. I do understand most of the Catholics views as such but according to the Parish Preist I must be confirmed in the Catholic church again. My understanding of Confirmation is the you are confirming your Christian Faith and excepting that you are a member of the Body of Christ. If I have done this in a previous Church, that of the Anglican Religion why then should I do it again in the Catholic Church? I do believe that baptism and confirmation is something that is done once in your lifetime. I need some guidance Lorenzo, As you may know, the Catholic Church is doubtful about the validity of Anglican Orders and therefore about the complete apostolicity of Anglican bishops. The ancient tradition in a case like that is to re-confirm but not to re-baptize. Look on it as completing your (Anglican) baptism in a (Catholic) confirmation and Eucharist. I got out my copy of the Catechism and looked through it. I think,and I could be wrong, that another reason for the seperate Confirmation (not rebaptism) is that one of the things that Confirmation does is admit you, and you admit responsibility, to the Community of Faith that is the Church. Hope that helps That idea of what confirmation is is changing, especially now that confirmation is being returned to its proper place — before first communion where it was until 1910. The church doesn’t require ‘maturity’ for this sacrament, it requires nothing more than the ‘age of reason’ same as first communion. We are confirming 6 year olds who have more faith and understand more than many of the teens who were being confirmed because they had reached "confirmation age" in a Catholic school and were taught as part of the curriculum. There is no requirement that anyone reach the age of reason either.
Canon Law says to confirm at the "age of reason" but also says to confirm infants in danger of dying, so obviously age is not a crucial factor. Suzanne

This answer will be right to the point: The Anglican Church which is also the church of England. Lost all of her power during WW2, when their Archbishop was killed by the Germans during the battle of Briton. Unless you where confirmed by an 90+ bishop he most likely don’t have the power.

Wherefore, strictly adhering, in this matter, to the decrees of the Pontiffs, Our Predecessors, and confirming them most fully, and, as it were, renewing them by Our authority, of Our own initiative and certain knowledge, We pronounce and declare that ordinations carried out according to the Anglican rite have been, and are, absolutely null and utterly void. snip<
