So, what’s the point of having Godparents if they don’t believe enough to be married in the Church? The purpose of Godparents is to be living examples of Catholic faith, other than the parents.
Sometimes the lay instructors might not phrase things in the best way, but if the Baptism instructors had to deal with many parents with your lousy attitude, their patience would wear thin. Why do you bother going to get your child baptized? Do you think it’s some kind of magical potion?

If you think that the RC is screwed up, wait until you have to take a class on baptism and get one of the catholic nazis that tells you the god parents have to catholic, have to have been married in catholic church, etc, etc, so on and so forth. We had a catholic couple in our class that asked a question and said their selected Godparents were catholic but not actually married in the church. the instructor went off on some hitleresque diatribe and i thought the poor girl was going to cry. We pulled her aside later and said she may want to consider going elsewhere. the church we go to never asked if the godparents were married int eh church, but only if they were 'catholic'. So to say the catholci church is screwy is a huge understatement.
