[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I[b]n our church if the priest found out that the father of the baby being baptized was not there because he was at a sports tournament for another child there would be no baptism.[/b] Part of the ceremony is you as parents pledging to raise your child in the church. You are demonstrating that you have no intention of doing so. Full stop. No baptism.

OP, you asked the question so I'm telling you that you need to convince your husband to come to the baptism. In our family the older sibling would come as well but I can understand them not coming. But as the father of the child being baptized he is REQUIRED to be there. In our parish if a parent is not going to be there this needs to be cleared with the priest ahead of time and the acceptable reasons are along the lines of: deployed military, in the hospital, caring for a dying family member out of state/country.

So your priest would deny a sacrament to an innocent baby because the baby's father is a jerk.     Horrible.   [/quote]
