Default Re: Baptism troubles????

[ QUOTE ]
Baptism is a public announcement of your faith(in whatever). If the kid is too young to decide then it doesn't matter. It's not going to hurt anything but if you feel weird about it than I wouldn't do it. Wait until the kid is old enough to choose whether or not to publicly anounce his/her faith.

I agree with all of that, and that was the way I was brought up. The issue is that my brother in-law has made a decision to baptise his son, due mainly to pressure from his in-laws, in a non-catholic faith. His father was kicked out of the church because of a messy divorce, but still is concerned for some reason that this baptism is wrong.

I just didn't know if there was some sort of caveat in catholicism that says that bad things will happen if you baptise your child in a protestant faith after you have been baptised as a catholic.
