When to capitalize godfather?

The term "Godfather" should be capitalized when it is used as a proper noun, such as when referring to the title of a specific person in a formal or specific context, like "Don Corleone, the Godfather of the mafia family." However, when used in a general sense to refer to a male godparent, it is not capitalized, as in "My uncle is my daughter's godfather." In this case, it is a common noun and does not require capitalization.
