Who decides on what faith my baby will be baptized , us the parents or the ever controlling in laws ?
My greek in laws are ever interferring. They didnt even show up for their only child’s ( my hubby) wedding.
Besides they go to their church only on good fridays and I go to my catholic church . at least every sunday. I have tried to get along with them ever since I married their son but I feel so disrespected for them (in laws) to just assume the baby will be baptized as Greek Orthodox- I honestly wont have any problem with it if they were practicing their faith but I only see them go once a year n stand outside the church? waiting to light their candle n go home-is this what my son will do too ? Whereas I grew up raised and schooled as a Catholic although I knew my church has a lot of flaws.
Should I let them also decide to baptize the baby in the greek faith just becoz I’m scared he might have a heart attack and die ? My only fear is I might regret this if something actually happens to him- he is 74 y. o. & has hypertension but is otherwise ok. I need to hear from others
what did you and your husband discuss before you were married? If you agreed at that point to have the children baptized in the Greek Orthodox Church, then I guess you should do what you said. But otherwise, this really has nothing to do with your inlaws, it is between you and your husband. I am Catholic too, and Greek orthodox is pretty darn close to Catholicism, and, if it makes you feel better, the baby can be baptized in their Church and still raised Catholic. A baptism really initiates the child as a Christian,and their is no “re-baptism” anyway. But really, if you plan to raise the child Catholic, then it just makes since to baptize in your own parish church. This inlaw thing will only get worse if you cave on this point, stand up for what you believe now and set a precident. good luck!
