Can you change your godparents?
Catholic AnswerNo, you cannot. Godparents form a spiritual bond with their godchildren. If a godparent fails in their duty or drifts with time, it is like a familial relation, they will always be your godparent no matter what. A Confirmation sponsor is a different role altogether. The sponsor is one who affirms you are ready to become an adult in grace before the eyes of the Church and presents you as such. No spiritual bond is made, though you may certainly stay close with your sponsor.
