SAYMP #041 - What Is Confirmation Even For?
Description
There seems to be a lot of confusion around what the Sacrament of Confirmation is, at times being called the Sacrament in search of a Theology. Even the sound theology employed in describing Confirmation seems to be often misunderstood or interpreted. Understanding Confirmation, what it is for, and what it does is essential to understanding our readiness for the Sacrament, so this week we talk about what Confirmation is, and attempt to dispel some of the misconceptions surrounding the sacrament.
