[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 326366, member: 1664"] Tooner, I truly doubt your grandson is Confirmed. The age of seven is called (by the catholic religion) "the age of reason", meaning at that age a person knows right from wrong. If the child from that point on chooses not to go to Mass every Sunday they are making a choice to sin, by not observing the Sabbath. (according to the canons) There are seven sacraments in the Catholic faith.(these are the order in which I had to take them) Baptist (weeks after birth) Confession (at the age of 6) ( I think they call it something different now) Holy Communion (at the age of 7) Confirmation ( In my day, you had to be 11yrs old and meet the bishop and profess that you would be a soldier for Christ and have him slap you on the cheek. I am sure they have changed that since then. Marriage Holy Orders ( becoming a priest or a nun) Last Rights ( they call it anointing of the sick, now) The best thing I can say about catholicism and all other forms of structured religion is that they give a strong foundation in basic ways to make a society function in an organized manner. I spent 12 years of my life in Catholic schools and I only go to church for weddings or funerals, so I might not be the best one to try and give you advice. [/QUOTE]
