Yikes what?

If I’m saying ‘it’s my way or the highway’ then I don’t want your input

So it my way, I am the boss, or get out

Yep, we lived in mid city and I had no idea that school was cancelled until I got there :lol:
The milk from Costco (in BR) hasn’t been very tasty lately either

It tastes like glue

I think Jesus would want you to help the mother but would also understand she should follow the law
if Jesus was so hell bent on following laws, then He would’ve let the people stone the woman accused of adultery

He would not have healed on the Sabbath or healed lepers or blind people or would’ve said He could forgive sins

I’m not sure what He’d want when it comes to illegal immigration

I disagree with your premise that it is not possible to understand the purpose and the reason for the sacraments. That is ridiculous.
we cannot understand fully the purpose of the sacraments when we receive them

There’s no way we can.

I’m talking about the receiver of the sacrament, not the parents. However, most adults do not understand the importance of the sacraments anyway - so why would we expect a child to.

Convincing parents to get sacraments for their children is what I do for a living. I do not know everything about them but I do understand the importance. It’s not a decision that should be left up to a child - a 13 year old or a 17 year old. There is no way a child can understand the importance when most parents don’t, so the child shouldn’t be making that decision.

And I am going to assume the bishop knows even more than me when it comes to the necessity of administering sacraments, and I trust his judgment for the age change.
I agree, and I’m Catholic and work for the Catholic Church :lol:

Prevost had some missteps as well concerning moving a pedophile priest near an elementary school and not telling anyone. Also had issues with sexual assault of 2 women that weren’t fully investigated.
yes, and the Vatican cleared him regarding the stuff in Peru - there hadn’t been an explanation regarding the priest at the monastery by the school
Not all of the cardinals are involved in scandals. They voted Prevost in, we must have faith that the church will head in the right direction.

My wife’s friend’s son is in 4th grade and confirmed last week. I thought that was extremely odd
you can ask your bishop for confirmation early - nothing wrong with it
quote:

I’m not even gonna read further because either you didn’t read my post or have poor reading comprehension.
I read it - the sacrament is not for the adult so what the adult thinks/knows about the sacrament is irrelevant- you force baptism and first Eucharist on your child - why is it any different for confirmation?

Why don’t you want your child to receive the grace from the sacrament at an earlier age?

Confirmation is not an ‘adult’ decision for the church.

If you want to keep on arguing since you apparently don’t understand - I’m game.

And be it you didn’t take the time to read my post but ignorantly reply - you don’t realize how much adults DO NOT understand. And obviously do not understand confirmation.
