Valid Baptism

[united4Peace]

Read the post on the marriage which got me thinking about baptism and what is considered valid.

If a non Catholic single parent has their baby baptised in a Protestant Church and the God Parents are Catholic is the baby's baptism still valid?

What if a couple which consists of one Catholic and one Protestant have their children baptised in the Church that the Protestant belongs to and again has a Catholic God Parent(s)?

Just curious

hey united4Peace
water Baptism done in the name of Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost is a valid baptism
does not matter if a child Catholic is a Godparent or not

the Catholic Church accepts allmost every Protestant denominations baptisms

I think the Catholic Church accepts most normal protestant baptisms. The RCIA director told me they do not accept weird ones they've heard of perfume baptisms and rose baptisms (being baptised in a bunch of falling roses?) or Jehovah's Witness baptisms since its not a trinitarian baptism.

But basically most baptisms are valid from what I know. My Protestant Pastor baptized me I didn't get re-baptized.

Oh...and also I guess the Church accepts any marriages between two baptized people they just convalidate (?) it and one is done on a case by case basis. Mine didn't need convalidated or whatever its called.

Not bad....busy in school, work and family! On here though reading through posts...procrastinating studying and essays

Hmmm maybe some one needs to contact a mod and have me booted (until next June)

No more questions about baptism...was reading through and was just curious
Hope all is well with you

To add, if there is no record of the baptism, or if it is unsure if the person was validly baptized, the priest can perform a conditional baptism, usually beginning in "If you have have not already been..."

So far as I know, a baptism simply must have been performed with water (preferably flowing over the head, or by immersion) and done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, with use of the verb "baptise", and with the intent of baptising the person. So, the usual form/matter/intention requirement, in short.
