Is receiving the sacrament of Confirmation nothing more than graduating from religious education? Is it just the object of a mature choice to practice the Catholic faith, or a rite of passage?
No! Confirmation is much more than these common misconceptions of the sacrament. It's a sending forth, a commissioning, by which you are entering more richly into Christ himself, and into communion with all those who live in him.

Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
