Does the Catholic church not allow a non-Catholic to become a Godfather of a Catholic baby?
A godfather should show and teach the godchild the way of the catholic church, blah blah whatever. I'm an atheist and i was made a godfather.. how the hell is the priest going to know.
I'm an atheist and a godfather - she was actual Episcopal.
Catholics are real strict though. At my brothers wedding, they would'nt let me do communion (not that I would have) but the priest said tha I couldn't before the ceremony. Hypocrites.
So I'm wondering what they will do about me being a godfather. When I think of godfather I just think of someone who will be there for the child in the event anything were to happen to the parents.
I think it depends on the priest. I'm Catholic and two of my kids have a godparent who isn't Catholic - that was OK as long as the other godparent is Catholic
