Argentina is going to attend the one who is probably the first media baptism of the daughter of a lesbian couple.The media are giving him all the possible hype and, as an argument to support such an act, they use the Pope's words on the baptism of single mothers.Apparently in Argentina there were priests who opposed to perform such baptisms and the Pope, being a cardinal and archbishop of Buenos Aires, criticized such a fact.Specifically these were his words then:

There is also the circumstance that in Argentina two other lesbians were already protagonists in the television program of a very “charismatic” priest, the P.Ignacio Periés, who took the opportunity to make homosexual marriage apology.Rosario's archdiocese publicized him a few days later.

These lesbians did not want any temple, so they have chosen the Cathedral of Córdoba (obviously Argentina, not the Spanish) to baptize the creature.This is explained by the biological mother:

The thing does not stay there.It turns out that both have asked the Argentine president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, to be a baptismo godmother.We do not know if the president will accept the invitation and yes mons.Ñáñez will accept it.

Now let's see what the Canon Law Code says, which is supposed to remain in force.At least no one has told us that it has been repealed.What is the condition for a child to be baptized?(Negritas of mine):

El derecho canónico y el bautizo de la hija de una pareja de lesbianas

What is the condition to be a godfather or godmother of a baptism?

Go ahead that I think we are not facing a case similar to a single mother who wants to baptize a child.A Catholic woman has been able to have a slip, get pregnant, move on with pregnancy without the father wanting to have anything to do with it and then be a Catholic mother who perfectly educates her son in the faith in the faith.

But said, does anyone believe that there is a founded hope that the girl who is going to be baptized will be educated in the Catholic faith?Are those lesbian mothers trained for such a thing?(*) And if finally the president of Argentina is godmother, is there the slightest possibility that she, the burning defender of homosexual marriage, can collaborate in that education in the Catholic faith of the breeding?

At the moment, I just ask.You can intuit what my answers would be.It should not be a supporter of hindering children's baptism, but if the Church has put concrete conditions for it to occur, who is no one to skip them to the bullfighter?

The reality is that secular media will present that baptism as a triumph of the gay lobby and a "proof" that the Church will end up accepting, sooner or later, homosexual unions.As much as some, or even a crowd, say that this is not possible, will give the same.Many faithful, who do not even know about the existence of these canonical laws and do not form their faith in Catholic media faithful to the teaching, will conclude that these media are right.

Moreover, I believe legitimate to what extent such a decision can remain in the hands of a single bishop, being that we are facing an act that will have a worldwide impact and can put at the feet of the horses to parish priests and bishops that believe impossible for them to be impossibleA lesbian couple, who has had a daughter by artificial fertilization, can educate anyone in the Catholic faith.

PD: Abstén of commenting those who want to accuse me of being a fundamentalist, Pharisee, legalistic, blah, blah ... I'm not to waste time responding to Sandes.

(*) The thing would change if any of the girl's grandparents - or the godparents - committed to educate her in the Catholic faith and the mothers would accept it.But in that case, given the public scandal that is being formed, it should be clarified equally public, so as not to confuse the faithful ... and the "infidels".

PD2: Lesbians will not receive the sacrament of confirmation:

PD3: Mons explanations.Ñañez, Archbishop of Córdoba
