The role of the godparent is to assist the parents in bringing up their children in the practice of the Catholic Faith. Therefore to be eligible to be a "godparent" it is necessary that the person be a practicing catholic. A Protestant may be a "Christian Witness" but may not serve in the capacity of godparent in the Baptism ceremony. There must be at least one person who serves as a godparent.
