Our older son is at the age where he could get confirmed and he's done 8 years of CCD/Sunday school... but the rules for confirmation at our parish are insanely strict. He would need an adult sponsor who is a Catholic and is not "living in sin" or married to a non-Catholic, can produce a letter of good faith from his/her own parish, etc. ALso we needed to sign up a year in advance, do service projects and a retreat, etc etc. It's so onerous that I almost think they don't want to have confirmed Catholics anymore.[/quote]

This was the final straw for me leaving Catholicism. Insane headache trying to figure out who could be DC's sponsor. Do we think Christ came up with all these crazy rules? So glad I said Buh-bye Vatican! (Protestant now)[/quote]

Because finding just one person to use as a role model in faith is asking too much?  
I actually lobbied my parish to tighten up the requirements for Confirmation because most kids take zero responsibility for making it an educated decision rather than a quest for a gift from their devout grandparents.  [/quote]
