A dumb godparent question....
Bear with me, I'm 34 weeks pregnant and my brain is not working correctly....we are Catholic...that means that we can only choose Catholic parish members as godparents, correct? I have a bunch of friends who I would love to choose who are Lutheran or Methodist, but since they're not Catholic, they're out, correct?
Here's the second part of my question....for M we used my husband's brother and sister, and for E we chose our friends who are married...is it weird if we use them again for this new baby? I really do not have any other friends who are Catholic, and although our family is Catholic (cousins and such) I can't say we're close enough with them to choose them.
Re: A dumb godparent question....
I think it may depend on how strict your Church is. When my children were baptized both Godparents needed to be Catholics in good standing and they needed a letter from their Parrish stating so. That said, I am the Godmother to one of my friends daughters and the Godfather is Presbyterian. Her church only required that one of the Godparents be Catholic.
My sister is the Godmother for both of my children. I personally don't think that it is weird at all. In my opinion, naming Godparents is a big decision and it should be someone who you are close with and have a big presence in your children's lives.
It definitely depends on the church - it just so happened that all 4 of our chosen godparents for the the 2 kids were catholic, but the church never asked for proof of this...
for Enzo, we've chosen my cousin (I think) and she's baptist...
