[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What has happened to the Catholic Church in the USA that this level of commitment is mown required? Decades ago, I remember we were all just marched in and confirmed by the Bishop one Sunday. It was no big deal. Today it seems that the lunatic Catholics are the only ones left in this country, and they certainly have taken control of the asylum. Even the Pope is disillusioned with them. I don’t blame your kids for wanting no part of this embarrassment. They can still consider themselves Catholics and take Communion if they want. And don’t let anyone tell them otherwise, certainly not one of our corrupt priests. [/quote]

Not sure where you grew up or were confirmed, but that definitely wasn't my experience in the 80s.  You had to be in CCD the year before and the year of confirmation (so class once a week), plus a retreat, plus a big project, plus a written test and interview with the parish pastor.

Confirmation is just that - you are confirming that YOU (the person, not the parents or anyone else) are committed to living this life.  It's OK to push it off.
I went to a Catholic college and was jealous of the students who were confirmed while there.  Their experience was much more meaningful and faith-filled than my memorization/class going/test passing was.[/quote]
