Is there a greater honor than being asked to be a godparent?

I have 4 godchildren. Not one is related to me by blood but they might as well be. I would take a bullet for each one. Each of their parents chose me for a very special place of honor for their child. I take that responsibility quite seriously and try to educate the oldest (now 6) in Catholicism and how to be an all around good person (their parents already do a wonderful job anyway but are more than happy to let me add my two cents).

In South Louisiana, it even has a special moniker - Parrain. Anyway, I love being Parrain to 4 awesome kids that I would do anything on this earth for. I know I am not the only one on this board.

My mom died over 10 years ago, but have fun with her corpse. It's probably just a skeleton at this point.

As an investor in Viacom, owner of MTV, I support this sentiment.

I should have added the caveat "for the average person." Obviously, nothing compares to the Medal of Honor.

No where near the honor it was, say, 500 years ago. Anyone with enough money can get knighted. It's 100% PR at this point. The Queen is literally just given a list of people to be knighted. She could not give two shits about the person and what they may have accomplished.

I had to go to classes to be a Catholic godfather since I'm not Catholic. If you shop around, you can get it done in an afternoon. But yeah it's a huge honor, I've got two god bastards myself.

Is this your first? I had a great deal of joy and a great sense of responsibility when my oldest understood what me being her godfather actually meant. I imagine it only gets better from here. I'll be there for her confirmation, marriage, and eventually the baptism of her first child.
