		<description>No, all are welcome to baptism regardless of their parents' marital status. The Catholic Church does not have a concept of illegitimacy as the law does because all children are created in the Image of God, and as such all children are welcome in the house of the Lord.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>No problem there.  Don't listen to the hateful answers.  No priest prevents someone from having a baby baptized because the baby is born out of wedlock.  That is just hateful nonsense being spread.

Any baby can be baptized if a parent presents that baby to the Church and wishes baptism for him/her.

Also, the godparents do not have to be married.  They simply need to be good Catholics who are practicing their faith and agree to serve in life as godparents to the child.  You don't even need two godparents.  You can have one Catholic godparent and up to three Christian witnesses who do not even have to be of the Catholic faith.  Too many people on here have no idea of what they speak.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>No, they don't, if that were the case no one would be able to convert if they were, say born into an atheist household or the child was conceived as the result of a rape/incest. You will be given rules to follow with regard to godparents and such but baptism won't be withheld because the parents aren't married.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Catholic upbringing with a CCD teacher for a mother and logic.</description>

		<description>John the Baptist said that Christ would baptise people with FIRE. So why do the substitutes baptise with water? Water puts fire out.

Why do they go backwards to using water like John the Baptist used, as though Christ had never come? It is because they have NO fire because THEY are FAKES&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Vatican

		<description>IMO your confused as to whom you are leading your children to...a church??? or God???  please do these things for God and not a church....we should desire a relationship with Him and not a denomination....per Scripture (God's Holy Living Word/the Holy Bible):


Jesus showed as example by being Baptized By MUCH (Immersion)water Baptizmo: to submerge/dip NOT by sprinkling, infant baptism is NOT supported by the Word of God, an infant has no idea of what the committment is or what it means and is NOT accountable.Mary &#38; Joseph took young Jesus to the Temple for &#34;dedication&#34; Luke 2:22 there are pre reqiuistite to Baptism Acts 2:38 / Acts 19:4 / Matthew 28:18-20 where Jesus instructed His desciples to teach all nations, and then baptize them., in Mark 16:16 &#34;He that believeth and is BAPTIZED shall be saved, he that believeth not, shall be damned&#34;. It is our public declaration that we have surrendered our life to Christ-a public confession Matthew 10:32 &#34;Whoseoever therefore shall confess me before men, him I will confess before my Father which is in Heaven.&#34;  Baptism IS a requirement.

		<description>It can be done.

I almost had my oldest baptized at the Church when she was born, I had her out of wedlock. Changed my mind when the priest told me we had to do it in secret so the congregation wouldn't treat her wrong. Seems to me that the congregation should have been supportive of her and why hide it?&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;ex-catholic</description>

		<description>How about this. Don't teach them about religion until they're like 15+. Then let them decide.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;My guess is that they'll stick with Atheism.</description>
