the Profession of Faith in the child's name and accept the responsibi lity of INSTRUCTING thechild in the faith, especially if the parents failed in this duty.

About the year 800 when infant baptism was truly the norm, these sponsors were called"patrinus" or"godfather". Traditionally, we identify the sponsor of a child for baptism as thegodparent godmother or godfather, but the technical term remains " SPONSOR."

According to the Code of Canon Law, "Insofar as possible, one to be baptized is to begiven a sponsor who is to assist an adult in Christian Initiation, or, together with the par-

ents, to present an infant at the Baptism, and who will help the baptized to lead a Christianlife in harmony with Baptism, and to fulfill faithfully the obligations connected with it" (No.872). This statement clearly reflects the historical roots of the role of sponsor.

To be a sponsor, a person must be chosen by the person to be baptized, or by the parentsor guardians of a child, or, in their absence, by the pastor or minister of the sacrament. Thesponsor must not only have the intention of being a sponsor but also meet proper qualifi-cations. The sponsor must have completed his/her sixteenth birthday.... He/she must be aCatholic who has received the Sacraments of Holy Eucharist and Confirmation, and " leadsa life in harmony with the faith and the role to be undertaken." Moreover, the sponsor cannotbe impeded by some canonical penalty. Ideally, this sponsor at Baptism should also be thesponsor for Confirmation. Note that the mother and father of the child cannot serve as spon-sors. Also note that these are the same requirements for Confirmation sponsors. (Cf. Code of CanonLaw, No. 874.1). Strictly speaking, a person only needs one sponsor for Baptism male or female,but may have two sponsors, one male and one female. Also, in the case of an emergency, suchas imminent death, no sponsor is needed.

Here we should pause to clarify who qualifies as a Catholic godparent. A Cathol ic whodoes not practice the faith by regularly attending Mass(each week)or who is in an invalidmarriage (not married sacramentally in the Catholic Church - or is cohabiting/living together)disqualifies himself/herself from being a godparent. Moreover, if a person is Catholic butantagonistic to the faith, i.e. has the attitude "I am a Catholic but...," and would not be agood example and witness to the faith also disqualifies himself/herself. IFAPERSONISNOT

STRIVINGTOFULFILLHIS/HEROWNOBLIGATIONSOF BAPTISMAND CONFIRMATION, HE/SHEWILLNOTFULFILLTHERESPONSIBILITIESOFHELPINGANOTHERTODOSO. A single person may be a god-parent. A godparent who wishes to give a good example should also regularly take advantage ofthe Sacrament of Reconciliation /Confession.

Parents need to find good Practicing Catholics for godparents. Sadly, this task can bevery difficult in today's world!

Pastors become frustrated and perturbed each time someone comes by the parish officeand wants them to sign a sponsor's certificate and attest that he/she is a practicing Catholicwhen the pastor does not recognize him/her, they are not registered in the parish and do notattend Mass faithfully. In justice, a pastor cannot meet such a request.

Technically, only Catholics can be godparents or sponsors.A fai th-ful, PRACTICING CHRISTIAN (single or married but not cohabiting)of another denomination, whether Orthodox or Protestant, how-ever, may be a "Christian Witness" to the Baptism along with apracticing Catholic godparent. A Non-Pract ic ing Cathol ic can NOTbe a Christian Witness!

Thus the Role of Godparent-Sponsor is truly a call, a vocation,for one to have a Deep-Spiritual Relationship with Jesus Christas ones Lord and Savior and with the faith community of theChurch as well as with the child and her/his parents.

tambin hara la Profesin de Fe en el nombre del nio y aceptar la responsabil idad de ins-truir al nio en la fe, especialmente si los padres fallen en este deber.

Hacia el ao 800 cuando el bautismo infantil era en verdad la norma, estos fiadores se llama"patrinus" o "padrino" . Tradicionalmente, se identifica el fiador de un nio para el bautismocomo el padrino o madrina, pero el trmino tcnico sigue siendo " PATROCINADOR" .

Segn el Cdigo de la Ley Cannico, "En la medida de lo posible, alguien que va a bautizarsedebe recibir un fiador que ayuda al adulto en la Iniciacin Cristiana, o, junto con los padres, pa-

ra presentar un nio en el Bautismo, y que ayudar al bautizado a vivir una vida cristiana enarmona con el Bautismo, y cumplir fielmente las obligaciones relacionadas con el Bautis-mo"(No. 872). Esta declaracin refleja claramente las races histricas de la funcin del patrocinador.

Para ser un patrocinador/padrino, una persona debe ser elegido por la persona que va abautizarse, o por los padres o guardianes de un nio, o, en su ausencia, por el prroco o el mi-nistro del sacramento. El patrocinador/padrino no solo debe tener la intencin de ser unpatrocinador/padrino, sino tambin cumplir con las calificaciones adecuadas. El patrocina-dor/padrino debe haber completado su decimosexto cumpleaos.... l/ella debe ser un catli-co que ha recibido los Sacramentos de la Eucarista y la Confirmacin, y "conduce unavida en armona con la fe y el papel a ser emprendida." Por otra parte, el patrocinador/padrino no puede ser obstaculizado por una pena cannica. Idealmente, este patrocinador/padrino del bautismo debe ser tambin el patrocinador para la Confirmacin. Tenga en cuentaque la madre y el padre del nio no puede servir como patrocinador. Tambin tenga en cuentaque estos son los mismos requisitos para los patrocinadores de la Confirmacin. (Cf. Cdigo de DerechoCannico, N 874.1). Una persona slo necesita un patrocinador/padrino para el Bautismo - masculinoo femenino, pero puede tener dos patrocinadores/padrinos, un hombre y una mujer. Adems, enel caso de una emergencia, tales como la muerte inminente, no se necesita ningn padrino.

Aqu debemos hacer una pausa para aclarar que califica como un padrino catlico. Un catli-co que no practica la fe por asistiendo a la Misa (cada semana) o que est en un matrimonioinvalido, (no casados sacramentalmente en la Iglesia Catlica - o est cohabitando/viven juntos)descalifica a s mismo de ser un padrino o madrina. Por otra parte, si una persona es cat-

lica, pero antagnica a la fe, es decir, tiene la actitud de "yo soy catlico, pero...," y no ser-a un buen ejemplo y el testigo de la fe tambin se descali fica a s mismo. SIUNAPERSONANOSEESFUERZAPORCUMPLIRCONSUSOBLIGACIONESPROPIASDEL BAUTISMOYLA CONFIRMACIN,L/ELLANOVAACUMPLIRCONLASRESPONSABILIDADESDEAYUDARAOTROAHACERLOS. Una solapersona puede ser un padrino. Un padrino que quiera dar un buen ejemplo tambin deberevaluar peridicamente ventaja del Sacramento de la Reconciliacin / Confesin.

Los padres deben ser y deben encontrar Buenos Catlicos Practicantes para los padri-nos. Lastimosamente, esta tarea puede ser muy difcil en el mundo de hoy!

Sacerdotes se frustran y perturbado cada vez que alguien viene por la oficina parroquial yquiere que firme el certificado de un patrocinador/padrino y certifique quede que l/ella es uncatlico practicante, cuando el sacerdote no lo reconoce/ella, que no estn registradas en laparroquia y no asisten a la misa fielmente. Si un sacerdote puede cumplir con dicha solici-tud, sera un injustic ia.

Tcnicamente, los catlicos slo pueden ser padrinos o patrocinadores. Un fiel, CRISTIANOPRACTICANTE(soltero o casado, pero no cohabitando) de otra denominacin, ya sea Orto-doxa o Protestante, sin embargo, puede ser un "Testigo Cristiano" para el Bautismo, junto conun padrino catlico practicante. Un catlico no practicante NO puede ser un testigo cristiano!

As, el Papel de los Padr inos-Patroc inador es realmente una llamada, una vocacin, pa-ra que uno tenga una Relacin Profunda-Espiritual con Jesucris to como Seor y Salvador,y con la comunidad de fe de la Iglesia, as como con el nio y sus padres.

WHEN YOU HAVE A CAR TO

DONATE, YOU AUTO

THINKSVDP!

When you hear those radio ads en-couraging the donation of your usedcar, please keep in mind that yourcar will most likely NOT be given tosomeone who can use it. On theother hand, when you donate yourcar to St. Vincent de Paul, once wehave determined that it is safe andfunctional, we put it directly into thehands of a needy person or family,so it can be usedto drive to work,to go on family errands, or to meetthe many other practical needs forgetting around. We have no paper-work complications, no large man-agement salaries or administrativecosts to pay. So when youre readyto surrender your car, keep St. Vin-cent de Paul first on your list of op-tions. Call 630-293-9755. Well pickup the car and get it into the handsof someone who can really use it.
