On Baptisms he’s pretty easy, the parents don’t have to be married or anything but their Godparents must be Catholics in good standing and the parents and Godparents must take a 4 hour class.

That's ridiculous. Unmarried parents of a child are not in good standing with the Church; yet the godparents are required to be in good standing?

i don’t think it’s ridiculous. Suppose your teen age daughter got pregnant. It happens. Would you want the baby to be baptized? The role, as I understand it, of Godparents is a Catholic upbringing, so they are supposed to be capable of providing that.
