  • Catholic practice of adolescent confirmation

    this must be country-specific, because the way i know it, it happens at age when people still can be pressured by parents/grandparents (under 15 or so), it’s about the only reason why it happens, and it marks the last time they are seen in church before marriage (formal requirement for catholic marriage), if at all (country secularizes and many ditch catholic marriage entirely). there’s also very little on the “inside” (you’re picking a saint and write an essay on them that nobody reads; unless you want to become a priest, it has absolutely zero bearing on your life)
