My best friend is hard-core Catholic. (I am also Catholic, but I never had a communion). She first chose her brother and his wife to be the god parents, but they were not married in the church, so they disqualify. Well she asked me to be a godmother to her first born, and of course I said yes. But didn't realized, I neeeded to be registered in the church?! Well she got so excited, I forgot to mention I'm not registered. I mean I was also baptized Catholic, does that count? My point is, I do not want to tell her, I can't. But can I get away with it? I mean will the church be all anal about this, will they verify If I really am registered? Should I tell her? But I'm excited about being the god parent to her daughter. She's been my bestfriend for the last 4 years.........and unlike me, she doesn't have any other friends. I know she can care less about me being registered, but her mom is a massively big *****, and will call her daughter satan if she doesn't do things by the book.

Relax, you're in good shape.
Don't worry about the grandma of the baby. Grandma's should simply be quiet about such things. Just hold your tongue and act saintly.
Maybe this will bring you back to the church a little bit, but even if not I'm happy for you.

A godparent needs to be practicing(goes to church regularly),confirmed,over 16 and i do not think that someone needs to be registered in a parish.

You don't even have to be Catholic to be a Godparent if the other Godparent is a confirmed Catholic.
