In the Roman Catholic Church confirmation is regarded as a sacrament which gives the participant grace. Only the bishop confirms an individual. In the Lutheran Church confiirmation is only a rite in which the individual makes a public confession of the faith received at baptism. It is not a sacrament like baptism and Holy Communion or Lord's Supper. Confirmation follows a somewhat lengthy instruction in basic Bible doctrines.
Catholic first communion takes place at a younger age; otherwise they are similar in most ways.
Catholic confirmation is the third of a triad of rites of initiation, in other words they're all preparation, for entering into the Catholic Church. For children born into the Church, they go in this order: Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation. Adults entering the Church will simply receive them all at once. The main difference that I know of between Lutheran and Catholic confirmation as the age at which they're received, and the procedure of receiving it.

Communion is <SPAN style="POSITION: static" textContent="null">receiving</SPAN> the body of Christ into yourself completely and wholly. Confirmation is given at varying ages according to the dioces, but it is totlly different from communion. confirmation is re-stating what your parents said for you at baptism, for instance saying you reject Satan and accept Jesus Christ as the one true savior.
Catholics believe in 7 Sacraments, including Baptism and Communion, but also including things such as marriage.
Roman Catholic AnswerCatholic Sacraments were established by Our Blessed Lord when He established the Catholic Church in 33 A.D. as outward signs of real inward grace. The only sacrament that the Lutherans have managed to keep is baptism as even a unbaptized person validly baptised when he intends to do what the Church does when he baptizes. The rest were discarded by Martin Luther in the sixteenth century when he apostatized.The Anglican Confirmation is not recognized in the Catholic Church.
The Anglican(Episcopalian)Confirmation is not recognized in the Catholic Church.
Quite simply, the bread and wine received at a Pentecostal church would not be Holy Communion.
Catholic Confirmation usually takes place when the young person is between the ages of 12 - 15 years. Orthodox Chrismation usually takes place after the baby is Baptized.
Roman Catholic AnswerOne is real, the other is not. You are probably referring to what is the difference between a Catholic priest and an Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist. In the later question, one is an ordained member of the clergy and can confect the Eucharist, the second is usually a layman who has been specially trained and designated to help distribute Holy Communion for a limited period of time, and/or to take Holy Communion to the sick with a special license from the Bishop.
Catholic mass is a specific form of Christian worship that follows the liturgical traditions of the Roman Catholic Church. Christian Mass is a broader term that refers to any worship service conducted in the Christian faith, which includes various denominations such as Protestant, Orthodox, and Catholic.
Roman Catholic AnswerAlthough your parish or diocese may have specific requirements for a Confirmation sponsor, I believe the only absolute requirement is that he or she already be Confirmed in the Catholic Church, in the same rite that you are seeking Confirmation.
It depends on when your diocese has chosen to celebrate the sacrament of Confirmation. In the United States, Confirmation can be celebrated anywhere between the age of reason (7 yrs) and age 16. So, if your diocese celebrates Confirmation in the second or third grade, then it will come before First Communion. But, if your diocese celebrates Confirmation in the eighth grade, then it would come after First Communion.
The difference in communion between Roman Catholic [R.C.] and Episcopal Church [E.C.] comes from the understanding of what happens at the consecration of the bread and wine. The R.C. church believes that the bread and wine physically change into the Body and Blood of Christ. However, the E.C. believes that the change is solely spiritual. Episcopalians still have bread and wine, but the Body and Blood of Christ is present spiritually, metaphorically.
Roman Catholic AnswerWithin the Roman Catholic Church, the age for confirmation varies widely depending upon two things. The first thing would be your Rite. The Latin Rite usually celebrates Confirmation between the ages of 12 go 16, although it may be younger, the second thing that it is dependent upon is your Bishop, he is the one who sets the age for confirmation. In the Eastern Rites, it varies, some administer Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Communion to infants a week old. In all cases of adults, the three are usually administered together.
Because she is french, and France is a Catholic sector.ANSWER:I believe you mean MARONITE Catholics which is an entirely Catholic sect/"rite" of the Catholic Church in full communion with the pope.It is one of the Eastern Rite Catholic Churches as compared to the Roman/Latin Rite Catholic Church.The difference between the 2 "rites" is cultural not theological.
Roman Catholic AnswerYou must be a baptized Catholic. You should have made your First Holy Communion. There are some eastern Rites that Baptize and Confirm infants at the same time and immediately give them Holy Communion, I'm discussing Latin Rite Catholics here. Finally, you should be of an age where you choose to be confirmed, have been instructed sufficiently in the faith, and have recently made a good confession. If you receive the sacrament when you are in a state of mortal sin, you do not receive the grace of the sacrament. It is still given, but the grace will not be there while you are in a state of sin.
