Compadre
The compadre relationship between the parents and godparents of a child is an important bond that originates when a child is baptized in Iberian and Latin America families. The abstract noun compadrazgo is sometimes used to refer to the institutional relationship between compadres. From the moment of a baptism ceremony, the godparents share the parenting role of the baptised child with the natural parents. By Catholic doctrine, upon the child's baptism the godparents accept the responsibility to ensure that the child is raised according to the dictates of the Catholic faith and to ensure the child pursues a life of improvement and success. At the moment of baptism, the godparents and natural parents become each other's compadres. The female equivalent of compadre is comadre. Thus, the child's father will call the child's godmother "comadre," while she will call him "compadre," and so on.
