Katolik jako świadek sakramentu chrztu św

During the administration of baptism, the Church requires that at least one godparent/sponsor be present. However, in some cases this may not be possible, so at least one credible witness should act in their place. Such a witness can a non-Catholic from a non-Catholic church community but also a Catholic who will not formally act as a godfather. The presence of such a witness may prove necessary at a later time when there is a need to testify that the baptised actually received the sacrament. However, both the absence of a godfather and a witness are not obstacles to the administration of the sacrament.
