So my husband and I asked his brother Tony to be Godfather to our son. He hasn't had any other sacrement other than baptism, so he didn't think he would be allowed by the Catholic Church. I spoke with Father George and it turns out he would be allowed, as long as the other Godparent has them, which she does. Tonight, we explained that to him and he still didn't get a straight yes or no answer, but before we were leaving, I brought it up and he just made a noise.
An, "eeehhhh" noise.
Joe said, "You need another week to think about it." (Which angered me a bit because he already had a week to think about it, so why not have an answer ready for us? We're baptising him in four weeks. Invitations are going out tomorrow or the next day. Family members are going to ask who the godparents are, and we don't have a clue? That sucks.)
It's clear that he is going to say no.
Maybe I shouldn't be bummed, but I am. In fact, I feel quite heart-broken about it.

Hey I'm sorry to hear that he's being a poopy-head :( What about Barry??? LOL
Barry is, I understand, on the short list. Joe is picking the God father, because I selected the God mother.
Aw, that's crummy. Maybe he knows he would be a sucky father figure, and is doing you a favour? I dunno, just trying to put a positive spin on things :)
That's crummy.
Mason's Godparents are one Catholic and his heathen wife...lol We love them :)
