The Archbishop of Cordoba authorized the baptism of a girl child of a same sex couple. It is the second case registered in a Catholic church in Argentina, church sources confirmed today.
The celebration of the "sacrament" will occur on 5 April in Cordoba’s Cathedral Our Lady of the Assumption and chaired by Father Carlos Varas.
Church sources DyN ratified the Archbishop of Córdoba, Carlos Ñáñez authorized the church service after suggesting "general recommendations " to the case.
The sources said the prelate asked Carlos Varas to transmit to the couple which consists of two women, who have "special attention" in choosing godparents who would teach the child " to grow in the Catholic faith". They also said that the priest gave indications Ñáñez to have present in the baptismal record “general recommendations”, although no details of what they were.
Ecclesiastical sources stated this will be “the first baptism of a child of gay or lesbian parents " to be held in a Catholic church in the country.
"We had an audience with Bishop Ñáñez and said it was okay for the baby to be baptized in the cathedral," said the couple.
The girl is the daughter of Karina Villarroel, a member of the Cordoba Police and Soledad Ortiz, who married a little over a year prior thanks to the equal marriage law.
The couple maintains a legal dispute with the police authorities who will not recognize Villarroel’s maternity leave of 180 days since she was not the pregnant mother.
A special Godmother
Villarroel and Ortiz told the local press that asked President Cristina Kirchner to be the godmother, adding that the process was already underway.
"The other day I talked about with the President who asked when this was to happen because she wanted to participate," Villarroel said the newspaper La Voz del Interior.
Church sources DyN recognized that the process for authorizing a baptism with these features "would have been more complicated if Jorge Bergoglio is not the Pope."
In September 2012, the archbishop of Buenos Aires demanded that the priests of the metropolitan region administer the sacrament of baptism to all babies resulting from an extramarital affair or child of a single mother.
"The procedure for authorizing a baptism with these features would have been more complicated if Jorge Bergoglio was not the pope," said Church sources
While not a reference to the children of same-sex couples Bergoglio said that clerics who refuse to do so are " hypocrites" and alienate people from the Church.
