Bono Brangelina's twins godfather?

[one4u2]

Just heard on Entertainment Tonight there is speculation of this Lucky kids if it's true!

 

[mkdominatr]

I too heard this on the radio this morning...

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

I found about this through AOL and I was like " I doubt it...but it would be cool if true"

 

[Caroni]

ERM... aRE THEY cATHOLIC???



Great question that my sister asked me

 

[silvrlvr]

Angelina was raised a Catholic (her mother was of French-Canadian descent, although she was born in Chicago.) So, anything is possible!

 

[Rosebud]

Sorry, I'm astonishingly ignorant, but what would it matter if they were Catholic or not?

I'm catholic and have never been put in this position to know if this is true or not. I would assume that if you are single and not married to the father that you wouldn't be able to have the child baptized. I could be wrong though. Never heard of them baptizing Shilo so I would wonder about the twins.

It doesn't matter if Brangelina are Catholic coz for those of you who obviosly don't know, neither is Bono!

This I know...you don't have to be a catholic to be a godparent, as long as you attend a some kind of church.

Interesting.

But I'm still not sure what being catholic has to do with anything. Protestants baptize children and use godparents also.

Just posted my thought cause someone had said she was raised a catholic.

is it too late to ask Bono to be my godfather?

pretty puleasssse!

 

[A stor]

A single mother can have her child baptized as a Catholic. Only one of the God Parents has to be of the same denomination. Both should be Christian, though. Because, you profess your faith in Jesus Christ.

 

[Daddysgonnapay]

I just heard this rumour and immediately came here to see if it was true! little did Entertainment tonight know if they want the REAL truth about Bono they should check here first!

 

[A stor]

Is it true, that the godmother is going to be Angelina's ex lover? I mean, it's none of my business. But, I read a story on the web.

 

[last unicorn]

Wouldn't it make sense if Bono and Ali would be godparents to those kids?

But who knows if this rumour is really true, sounds like a summer tabloid story to me.

 

[Carek1230]

I'm gonna go with the summer tabloid story too.

This I know...you don't have to be a catholic to be a godparent, as long as you attend a some kind of church.

If you want to baptize your child(ren) in a Catholic Church both godparents (it's custom to have a godfather and godmother) must be Catholic. It's in the Canons. (church law)

Just one does...my sister is not Catholic and was accepted by our church as godmother to my daughter. Canon Law (873 and 874) states that there needs to be only one godparent, so only one godparent (of two) needs to be catholic. The other godparent is officially a "witness", but can be called a godparent. Sorry to get technical, it's just that I had to find this out when my daughter was baptized...

 

[A stor]

True, just one has to be Catholic. When, my son was baptized, his Godfather was a Catholic and the Godmother was Baptist.

Isn't Angelina an athiest?

 

[A stor]

I don't know how true it is, but one tabloid report said it would be some kind of ceremony, where as Bono is welcomed into their extended family. I'm sure it must be "garbage." Since, Bono is of Christian faith.

If Angelina wasn't religious they could always have a humanist naming ceremony. We went to one recently where the parents were atheists and the "godparents" (who were both Anglicans) were called "guide parents" during the ceremony.

Anyway the story was first reported in the Mirror, not exactly known for its journalistic reliability so until it's confirmed otherwise I remain sceptical

 

[Jeannieco]

Isn't Angelina an athiest?

If I remember correctly when she sat down with Anderson Cooper over a year ago for an interview on her work in Africa she mentioned that she was a very spiritual person but not religous.
That's how Bono strikes me as well. He has even said when speaking of such matters on Oprah during that 2002 interview that "when religion enters the building, God leaves"

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Bono, Brad and Angelina shared more beliefs than you would guess.
