A. & B. You can't lose on this one; both answers are correct. A sponsor must be a Catholic who is a "firm believer," has received First Communion, and has been confirmed. Ordinarily, he or she must be at least 16. Also, the godparent can't be the child's parent. when there are two baptismal sponsors - - and when pastoral circumstances warrant - - one may be a baptized, non-Catholic Christian witness of the Baptism.
