No. HOWEVER, if neither of the parents are Catholic then the child would have to be sponsored by someone who is Catholic. Then the child would have to be raised Catholic. If the parents never joined the Catholic church the child would need a sponsor for each rite (first communion, confirmation etc.). Hope this helps!

Nope. Technically not even one but if neither is Catholic I believe there is a series of classes you are asked to take and a commitment to raising the child Catholic.
Generally speaking if one person in a couple is not Catholic and they wish to get married in the church, they are asked to ensure the children will be raised Catholic (but the other parent is not forced to convert).

One determine should be a Baptized Catholic and ideally an brisk member in a Catholic parish. at the same time as asking the Church to Baptize your newborn, you're promising the Church that you're going to advance and tutor your newborn contained in the Catholic faith. at the same time as neither determine is Baptized, and in all likelihood no longer actively education the religion, there is an chance the priest will refuse to Baptize your newborn until eventually one among you receives your non secular geese in a row. make positive the gosparents are lively and enthusiastic Catholics. enable them to tutor your newborn contained in the religion, taking the newborn to Church etc, if you're no longer keen to your self. Baptism is a Holy Sacrament and the Church does no longer take reception of it really is Sacraments gently. The reception of Sacraments is a privelege, no longer an actual. So in case you get became away by technique of the priest, extremely than get indignant and self-righteous, i ought to honestly desire you ought to guage the prospect that your life contained in the religion needs a severe leap-start up.

I am Catholic and my husband is not. All 3 of my children are Baptized Catholics.
God bless,

Each church makes their own rules, but generaly, no, Jewish parents can have their child baptized if they simply agree to raise the child Catholic.

Only one Parent needs to be Catholic but the Godparents if there are two must be both Catholic.

No, but the parent who is catholic must be a practicing Catolic, not a Catholic that only goes to Mass when he or she thinks it is convenient.

In my baptism group only one parent had to be catholic, but then the other parent had to support the decision if married. I believe god parents standing up for you need to be, and the church can help you find them if not available! good luck!

SDTerp is correct. It is not a requirement that either parent be Catholic.

Usually, But Not Always
Probably pre-Vatican 2, but Post Vatican-2, I doubt that very Much.
