I have married into what I suppose you would call a "non-practicing Catholic family". I am a Baptist.My step-children and niece have God parents. I thought I'd heard somewhere that God parents were responsible for the children's religious upbringing. My husband said he'd never heard of that, that the God parents were to take the children in the event of the parent's death-that was the purpose.Also,the kids call the God father a French sounding name,that begins with a P, but they call the God mother "Nanny", which to me, sounds like a goat, or a redneck grandmother. So,my question is,what are the duties of God parents, and what are the names to call them?
