Hopefully this will be a temporary learning experience to help people hold the religious role of godparents in a higher esteem. Although it will undoubtedly cause some short term strife, could this be a case of breaking eggs to make an omelette?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bishop Michele Fusco of Diocese of Sulmona-Valva, Italy, has recently published a decree where he abolishes Godparents in Baptism and Confirmation for a three year ad experimentum period (this article translates most of the decree into English).
