"Canon law and Christening daughter of a Lesbian Couple"
by Luis Fernando Pérez Bustamante"Argentina will attend to that is probably
the first media baptism of the daughter of a lesbian couple. The media are giving all possible hype and, as an argument to support such an act, used the words of the Pope on the baptism of single mothers. Apparently in Argentina there were priests who opposed such conduct baptisms and the Pope,
as Cardinal and Archbishop of Buenos Aires, he criticized that fact . Specifically these were his words then:
"
These are the hypocrites of today. Those clericalizaron the Church. Those who depart the people of God of salvation. And that poor girl, may have sent his son to the court, had the courage to bring to the world, going on pilgrimage from parish to parish to baptize him . "
It also so happens that in Argentina were already two other lesbian characters on television in a very "charismatic" priest, Father Ignacio Peries, who took the opportunity to make advocacy of gay marriage (see here:
infocatolica.com ). The Archdiocese of Rosario publicly disavowed him a few days later (see here:
infocatolica.com ). [
end: Unfortunately, Father Ignatius has not made a public apology over the scandal of his pro-gay activism within the Church ].
These lesbians do not want any temple, so we have chosen the Cathedral of Cordoba (Argentina obviously not the Spanish) to baptize the child. He explains the biological mother:
"I had an audience with Bishop Carlos Ñáñez, Archbishop of Córdoba, to give the order and confirmed in the Cathedral there will be no problem."
That is not the thing. It turns out that both
have asked the Argentina President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, who is godmother christening . We do not know if the president will accept the invitation and accept it if Bishop Ñáñez.
Now let's see what the Code of Canon Law, which is supposed remains. At least no one has told us that it has been abrogated. What is the condition for a child lawfully baptize? ...
