I'm going to be baptised a Catholic very soon (Sometime this month) and I was asked to pick two god parents. I have two people in mind (Their faimly friends who live across the street and they have bin really awesome and cool to me and my family. I thought about asking them, but I was worried this may make them uncomfortable and didn't want to weird them out by asking them this.

Do you guys think its a good Idea to ask them. I've known these two people and their kids for about 3 and half years and their as close as faimly without actually being faimly.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/421084/3750879.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/421084/3750879.page GMT Catholicism http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/421084/3750895.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/421084/3750895.page GMT Catholicism http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/421084/3750897.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/421084/3750897.page GMT Catholicism http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/421084/3750899.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/421084/3750899.page GMT Catholicism http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/421084/3750934.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/421084/3750934.page GMT Catholicism http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/421084/3750941.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/421084/3750941.page GMT Re:Catholicism

But yea, the OT is definitely NOT a personal help add. Just for future reference ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/421084/3750985.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/421084/3750985.page GMT Catholicism Would be my first port of call.

In Oz you need 1 sponsor/godparent who is baptised catholic and has received the Eucharist. Not sure about NZ.

Our kids were baptised as Anglicans and we had no godparents for them as it is not necessary and we couldn't come up with anyone suitable in the Anglican Church.

Actually as an adult, its not that big a deal. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/421084/3751153.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/421084/3751153.page GMT Catholicism
In the modern world it is more of a social thing, used to further family and social ties between the younger and older generations.

That is, unless you take the religious meaning very seriously.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/421084/3751166.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/421084/3751166.page GMT
