Sorry to crash here, newlyweds! (Congrats to you all! :) ) But, I thought some of you might be able to answer this...

Having been raised in a very Catholic family, I know this question probably sounds ridiculous to some of you...but here it goes:

Do both parents need to be Catholic in order for the children to be baptized?

FH is okay with me having our future children baptized. However, he does not belong to any particular religion, and he does not wish to do so.

i have the EXACT same situation with DH. from what i hear, as long as you can find a parish that will do it then you are fine. some are stricter than others
