There was a baprism during which a godfather who is a baptized, confirmed, faithful catholic should have been the only godparent, but at the last moment child’s aunt who is not a catholic (not even baptized christian and probably an atheist) stepped in and the priest accepted (wrote down her name) her as a godmother (not asking if she is catholic). In this case, is the baptism valid? Are both the godparents valid or (as according to the canon law) is only the godfather a valid godparent?

Thank you and God bless you!
