[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would move my child's baptism to accommodate the godparents I wanted, not choose godparents to go with the date I wanted.

Having said that, what are your religious views and levels of involvement.  I'd want a godparent whose views reflected my own.  Do you want your child to be involved like the second person, or are you planning on taking them on Christmas and Easter?  Which person do you agree with on important theological issues, whether that's abortion, or ordination of women, or whatever?  [/quote]

I’m a bit of an old school Italian.  My first child was baptized at 4 weeks and I would like this one to have been the same but with the holidays and immediate family’s schedule and the church we can’t until 2 months so I don’t want to push it back.  Plus it took us a long time to find andate that worked for everyone else.  Also 1 travels constantly for work nationally and internationally.

I’m religious and go to church every week.  That said, as a liberal person and a lot of cradle Catholics I don’t really buy into a lot of the social teaching.  I really just want a good person that I’m close with that respects my beliefs.  I respect that the church wants a Catholic but I’m ok if they are lapsed.  Outside of some me going to church regularly and her not, I’m more in like with 1s beliefs.  2 is a bit more conservative than I am. [/quote]
