Baptising my baby girl...?

If these are your children, they are your responsability. As for the one between you and him, you two need to hash things out.

Ultimately the Bible tells us to put the spirtiual needs of our children first.

I am a Christian, one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Is being Roman Catholic that important to you? Is it YOUR faith, and do you believe it should be the faith of your children? If so, then you need to do what the Church says to get squared away with them. That may be the process of an annulment... that may mean you and your boyfriend living apart.

If what you're most concerned about is making sure your kids HAVE faith, and that they have the SAME faith, and that faith be (more or less) Christian, then have you considered other churches? For example, the Episcopal (Anglican) church has much of the same tradition and beliefs as the Roman Catholic church, but is generally viewed as a much more "liberal" and accepting institution. Certain branches of Lutheranism are also more accepting, but have traditional liturgical services that would probably be familiar to a Catholic. Most Lutherans (at least "ECLA Lutherans") would be willing to baptize your daughter because you want her to be in a communion with God. That's good enough.

There are also lots of other denominations that would accept you. Some do baptize kids -- like Methodists, but many baptize later in life -- like the United Church of Christ or the Deciples of Christ. And there are tons of "independent" or "free" or "nondenominational" churches that run the gamete of liberal to conservative, structured to free, with all sorts of beliefs, that you could explore.

Good luck, and let your faith be your guide.

Make an appointment with your nearest parish priest. Arrange to have your baby baptized and discuss with the priest what you need to do to obtain your annulment. Once you receive your annulment you can be married in the Catholic Church (you can have a civil marriage earlier if you want). Your boyfriend doesn't need to be a Catholic for this he just needs to agree to raise your children Catholic.

This is something that you and you boyfriend are going to have to have a serious discussion about. Explain to him your feelings and reasoning behind wanting to get your daughter baptised. Maybe he doesn't have as strong of a faith as you might have, but he still should have a chance for a suggestion. Does he understand what baptising means? Discuss this with him.

As for your divorce, if you want to get married in the Catholic church and have it be recognized, I would get an annulment. It is a lengthy process, but if it is something that you really want to do than it is worth it.

Hope this helps, and good luck.

Baptize her in the Catholic Church. Get the annulment even though the process is a bi7ch.

I'm Christian and my husband is Catholic, though in the Christian religion babies aren't baptized I told my husband that he is more than welcome to baptize our 2 babies and that I would be behind him every step of the way and would even show up to the church and everything.

properly - i'm jewish so we had a naming for my infant woman - besides the undeniable fact that it replaced into nevertheless effortless. all of us got here decrease back to my residing house, I were given a pair dozen bagels, cream cheese, some pastries from the bakery and so on. To be honest - i don't think of it concerns how FANCY this is, a lot as that you have a good time it. in case you *DO* do it at a cafe - confirm the owner/celebration planner is known with of your decrease - and if extra human beings ensue or someone tries to reserve extra food, they want to no longer do it, or confirm the those who weren't invited and so on understand they want to pay their own way because this is a series quantity being provided... only my $.02

maybe change the whole family to another church both the catholics and the jw are very difficult
