This is Question and Answer #9 in a series on Godparents. Each day I will answer a question. If you have your own question, please post it as a comment to this post. Thank you.
Question #9: Do we have to take a Catholic baptism seriously or is it mostly just a fun little ritual?
One of my pet peeves is people who attend a baptism and snicker and joke throughout the whole thing. Some parents will purposely goad their kids into “performing” and everyone just pays attention to these kids instead of to the sacred event that is taking place. They take the whole thing as a joke. If it's such a joke, maybe you have to reconsider whether you should even be doing this.
