Godparent: A godparent is someone who is chosen by the parents of a newly baptized child to help with their religious education. They are usually a close family friend or relative. The godparent may also help take care of the child if something happens to the parents. The relationship between the godparent and child is like a spiritual parent-child relationship and can prevent them from getting married in the future. Godparent can also be called godmother, godfather, or sponsor in church law.

A more thorough explanation:

God-gild is a historical term that refers to money or gifts offered to a church for the service of God. It can also refer to a payment made to a church in exchange for land. This term is similar to frankalmoign.

During the Middle Ages, many people would offer god-gild to their local church as a way to show their devotion to God. This could be in the form of money, livestock, or even land.

In some cases, a lord might offer god-gild to a monastery in exchange for the monks praying for the souls of his deceased family members.

The examples illustrate how god-gild was used in medieval times as a way to support the church and show devotion to God. It was often given as a form of thanksgiving or to seek divine favor. The exchange of land for god-gild was a common practice, as it allowed the church to expand its holdings and influence. Overall, god-gild was an important part of religious life in the Middle Ages.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
