The two ladies will receive Confirmation on the same day and, at 10:30 the baptism of Umma Azul will take place, with a godfather who is a friend of the family and two godmothers, the President and a friend.

These women are not Catholic. The Church in Argentina is being used as a platform for promotion of the homosexual agenda. The child should be baptized, of course, but the politicization is a disgrace.

No, the Sacrament should be delayed until the child lives with a real Catholic family, or becomes an adult.

It's not just the homosexualists in Argentina - the international feminist/pro-abortion crowd is active there too.

From the Catholic Encyclopedia:

Confirmation can be conferred only on those who have already been baptized and have not yet been confirmed. As St. Thomas says:

Confirmation is to baptism what growth is to generation. Now it is clear that a man cannot advance to a perfect age unless he has first been born; in like manner, unless he has first been baptized he cannot receive the Sacrament of Confirmation (Summa Theologiæ III.72.6).

They should also be in the state of grace; for the Holy Ghost is not given for the purpose of taking away sin but of conferring additional grace. This condition, however, refers only to lawful reception; the sacrament is validly received even by those in mortal sin.

Speaking to news agency "DyN Church sources recognized that the procedure to authorize a baptism with such characteristics 'would have been more complicated if Jorge Bergoglio were not the Pope."

'Nuff said.
