?:abstract
  • This article analyzes social norms regulating the selection of godparents in Italy and France. Based on Vaticanstatistics and European Values Study responses, the vast majority of children in Catholic Europe are baptizedand birth rituals are considered important even by nonbelievers. Moreover, the dominant custom of selectinggodparents from among kinsmen is a recent development, based on historical data. A new survey about theselection of godparents in Italy and France, conducted for this study, shows that godparents are chosen not forreligious, but for social-relational reasons. Selection of kinsmen is the norm, with uncles and aunts being themajority choice. For Italy, choice determinants are explored by means of multinomial regressions. The results arecontrasted with demographic change to show that in lowest-low fertility countries current godparenthood modelsare bound to disappear. (xsd:string)
