.Catholic AnswerIn confirmation, the Bishop, usually vested for Mass, anoints the confirmand with Sacred Chrism.
Not sure of your question. The officiating prelate is usually the bishop or can be a priest if delegated by the bishop. If you mean sponsor, a priest can be a sponsor even if assisting, as he can step off altar to sponsor. But person who is actually confirming cannot be sponsor as he cannot anoint and sponsor at same time; but I am sure it can be worked out.

No
Confirmation.
No, Your Eminence is a title use to address Cardinals. To address a bishop you just use the word bishop in front of their names like "Bishop Lamberto" or "Bishop Carlos". When writing to them you could add an opening like... "To The Most Reverend Bishop Lamberto"
A wonderful choice as a patron saint of your confirmation.
It is against the rules of this site to use mean words.
Yes.
Roman Catholic Answer: A bishop might lose his job if he went to jail for some reason, and if that were the case he would lose his title to the job. However, the title "bishop" indicates, sorry for getting technical, an ontological change. In other words, a bishop, when consecrated (I believe they use the term ordained now) is something different than he was before. Just like baptism and confirmation, Holy Orders changes a person soul in a permanent, and forever sense. When a person is baptised they become a child of God, and that is permanent change to the soul, it goes on forever even into heaven. The same with being ordained to the clergy, that person's soul is changed and will never be the same. Going to jail, for whatever reason, will not affect that.
Yes, chrism is used in baptism in some Christian traditions, particularly in the Catholic and Orthodox churches. Chrism is a sacred oil that is blessed by a bishop and used to anoint the person being baptized, symbolizing the sealing of the Holy Spirit and their initiation into the Christian faith.
There are actually two sacraments which don't require a priest: The first is Baptism. Any person (even a non-Catholic) can baptise a person as long as they follow the requirements for it to be valid (ie, pure and natural water, say the right words, have the right intention). The second is Marriage: While the Church strongly encourages Catholics to marry in the presence of a priest (and to have a wedding Mass, if both prospective spouses are Catholic), strictly speaking, a priest is not needed. The "ministers" of the sacrament are the couple who are marrying. Answer: I strongly disagree to the above answer. Both the sacraments mentioned above need to be administered by a priest (or a deacon), but not by any lay person in the Roman Catholic faith. A Deacon can administer the sacraments of Baptism, Matrimony and Anointing of the Sick. For the rest of the four sacraments (Communion, Confirmation, Confession and Holy Orders) you need compulsarily a priest or a Bishop
