Crash Course Catholicism
What's the deal with Confirmation? Is it just a symbolic coming-of-age ceremony? Why is it necessary, and what does it give us that the other sacraments don't? In this episode we discuss the often-misunderstood sacrament of Confirmation. This episode covers Part Two, Section Two, Chapter One, Article Two of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (pts 1210-1321).
