Sacraments 101: Confirmation (why we're confirmed)

[mehappy777]

@gsschoenfeld I have seen you comment that same thing on other videos before, and want to ask you, why? Are you trying to discourage others from getting Confirmed just because you couldn't make a choice about it yourself? Confirmation is such a great gift, and I pray that all Catholics and Christians come to realize that they need it awfully. Without the Holy Spirit we couldn't pray or hear when God was calling us. I know that this isn't true for everyone, though I wish it was, but I'm making m

I ask this as someone who went through confirmation at 16, are you pushing for the sacrament at to early of an age? I was an atheist long before then, but since I was still a young teenager this "choice" was made for me. My confirmation was done out of guilt trips, being told to get in line by the parish, and with the promise of a few hundred bucks at the end, and I know I'm not alone in this. Why mandate a decision that we're not willing to let teenagers make on their own?

Awesome video! I have shown these to my 5th and 6th grade classes. It is entertaining and informative! Thank you so much!

I am 45 and have not been confirmed. I was going to do it this up coming Easter, but after having gone through the process, I stopped with the proceedings today. Why? Because I DO NOT WANT A SPONSOR! I like to do my "Religious Journey" on my own. And since the Vatican changes out prayer at the Mass'es through the years, maybe they should reconsider the sponsorship! But what the hell do I care? I'm NOT doing it. No volunteering! I've done "my share" of it, I now charge for my services.

@DakotaY24 charging for your services is called Simony & is a serious sin.

second, the sponsor is there to guide you through being a catholic, so that you always have back up in your walk

@aragonglenda: I've been out of work three years. I can not afford to donate my time.
