If somebody approaches a Catholic Priest and requests to be baptized and are in no way shape or form evil or going against anything in the Catholic faith can the priest refuse? I mean if the person really and truly feels joining the Church is right for them and does not want to wait until next Easter to be baptized.

He would not refuse, but he would want you to complete an appropriate preparation for your state in life. Typically, adults are required to complete an RCIA process. For unbaptized adults, this typically takes a year or longer, unless there is some good reason to rush the process (immanent danger of death, for example).

The Church will still be here next Easter. 🙂
