[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Can you choose two godparents that are the same sex?

OP here, priest got back to me and apparently the answer is no. I have to say I think this is ridiculous rule.[/quote]

THIS is the ridiculous rule that bothers you about Catholicism?  Oh honey.  [/quote]

OP here,

That Catholic church has other rules that I have deep disagreement with, and that I think are wrong.  At this point, DH and I have chosen to stay in the faith and advocate for change within.  I wouldn't call a rule like denying sacramental marriage to same sex couples "ridiculous'.  I'd call it wrong.

This rule, is just stupid.  It's not evil.  It's not something I am going to waste my time advocating against.  It's just a dumb rule.  If the rule was that every kid has to have a god parent parent of each gender?  Yeah, maybe i could understand that, although I'd disagree.  But you can have just one, so that's not it.  Someone suggested it's because they think of the godparents as a "couple", but I know plenty of kids whose godparents are siblings to each other, and the church didn't blink at that.

So, yes, this is a ridiculous rule.  [/quote]
