What would happen if the confirmation candidate received the sacrament while not in the state of grace?
If a confirmation candidate receives the sacrament while not in a state of grace, they may not fully benefit from the graces associated with the sacrament. The sacrament of Confirmation strengthens one's relationship with the Holy Spirit and the Church, but being in a state of mortal sin can impede that grace. The Church teaches that individuals should seek reconciliation through confession before receiving the sacraments to ensure they are spiritually prepared. Ultimately, receiving Confirmation under these circumstances does not invalidate the sacrament, but it may hinder the effectiveness of its grace in the individual’s life.

When can pastors perform confirmation?
A bishop is the ordinary minister of the sacrament of confirmation. Pastors/priests may administer the sacrament only in rare cases when there is a Catholic in danger of death who has not yet been confirmed. In this circumstance, the priest may request from his local ordinary (bishop) to be empowered to administer the sacrament. Receiving the sacrament is not necessary for salvation, but it places a permanent mark upon the soul and thus gives one more grace and thus more capacity to merit and do good and thus more glory in heaven. If the person recovers from his/her illness, the confirmation is considered complete and no conditional confirmation is needed from the bishop. Normally, a candidate for Confirmation must spend a period of time in preparation, both in studying the sacrament in order to understand what it is, why it is given and what it involves as well as spiritual tasks such as prayer and perhaps penance. When a priest or catechist has judged a candidate ready, he will list them as ready to be confirmed at the next visit of the bishop to the parish for that purpose. Usually such visits are planned months ahead, or happen annually on the same day - this allows the priest to prepare several candidates at once with their training culminating with the bishop's visit.
Can you receive sacraments more than once?
Baptism, marriage, extreme unction and the holy orders. Answer: NO! Those sacraments listed above are one- shots in the Catholic church, with the exception of extreme unction. (If you happen to survive, you can receive extreme unction again at a later date.) Communion and Reconciliation can be repeated regularly. (The seventh sacrament on the list is First Communion, also something you can only do once.)
How does a sacrament happen?
Roman Catholic AnswerThrough the grace of God.
Why cannot a person receive the sacrament of confirmation if she is not yet baptised?
Roman Catholic AnswerBaptism is a necessary sacrament. It makes an ontological change in you, after Baptism you are a child of God and are capable of receiving the other sacraments. Anyone who has been born in the human race is born in original sin, and in their natural state is incapable of pleasing God. If you participated in confirmation, or went to Confession or Holy Communion without being baptised, nothing good would happen because you are incapable of receiving those sacraments. Confirmation, in particular is like the second half of Baptism, it completes baptism. You are incapable of receiving any sacraments until you have been baptized.
Can your vote in the congressional election in erepublik be seen?
No, but the amount of votes a candidate has can be tracked. Some bots use this to their advantage and so if you are a floating voter, it will find out when you moved to a region and when a candidate received a vote and so can work out who you voted for. However, this is unlikely to happen
Why is it important to be sealed with the spirit in confirmation?
This is a great question! Unfortunately not many people are able to articulate a good answer!Let me begin by stating two of the most common errors concerning the Sacrament of Confirmation:1) Confirmation as "Catholic Graduation" or "Sacrament of Adulthood." In this understanding the Sacrament is seen as a kind of "Sacrament of Adulthood" whereby the person is considered an adult in the Faith. Confirmation is in this understanding analogous to a Jewish Bar mitzvah.2) Confirmation as "Sacrament of Choice." In this understanding Confirmation is contrasted to Baptism. The well meaning but sadly misinformed catechist will say something like "In Baptism God choose you, now in Confirmation you choose God." Of course this is nonsense becasue our human choice is always secondary to God's election. We do make a choice for God, but only AFTER God has made a choice for us.What is Confirmation? Confirmation is the Sacrament of Mission. Baptism is the Sacrament of Sonship. In Baptism we are made "Son's in the Son" which is another way of saying we are given a share in the life of Christ. We are made heirs of the Kingdom. In Confirmation we are sealed with the Holy Spirit for Mission. We are strengthened to endure persecution for the Faith, and strengthened to boldly preach the Gospel to all creatures. The Sacrament of Confirmation, then, completes the work of Baptism and gives us full participation in the life of the Church.If we look in the Bible, we know that the Baptism of the Church took place on the cross. Through the Cross the Church (The New Eve) came forth from the side of Christ constituted in blood and water. Yet there is still another aspect to redemption that must happen to complete the word of redemption: The sending of the Holy Spirit. This as we all know took place on the day of Pentecost. On this day, the Church was sealed in the Spirit, strengthened for her mission, empowered to stand for Truth in the face of persecution.Put simply: In Baptism the individual is introduced to the Cross of Christ, in Confirmation the individual is introduced to the Pentecost experience of the Church. In other words what the Cross was for the Universal Church when Christ gave up his Spirit and his side was pierced, Baptism is now for the individual. What Pentecost was for the Universal Church, Confirmation is now for the individual. These two Sacraments are how the universal is made particular, or how the individual encounters the Cross, and Pentecost..Catholic AnswerConfirmation completes what was begun in Baptism; together with the Eucharist it is the third sacrament of initiation; the three form one unity. "For 'by the sacrament of Confirmation, [the baptized] are more perfectly bound to the Church, and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed.' (Lumen Gentium 11; cf. Ordo confirmationis, Introduction)." - Catechism of the Catholic Church .from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 19941302It is evident from its celebration that the effect of the sacrament of Confirmation is the special outpouring of the Holy Spirit as once granted to the apostles on the day of Pentecost.1303From this fact, Confirmation brings and increase and deepening of baptismal grace:- it roots us more deeply in the divine filiation which makes us cry, "Abba! Father!; (Rom 8:15)- it unites us more firmly to Christ;- it increases the gifts of the Holy Spirit in us;- it renders our bond with the church more perfect; (Cf. Lumen Gentium 11)- it gives us a special strength of the Holy Spirit to spread and defend the faith by word and action as true witnesses of Christ, to confess the name of Christ boldly, and never to be ashamed of the Cross: (Cf. Council of Florence (1439): Denzinger-Schometzer, Enchiridion Symbolorum, definitionum et declarationum de rebus fidei et morum {1965} 1319; Lumen Gentium 11; 12)Recall then that you received the spiritual seal, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of right judgment and courage, the spirit of knowledge and reverence, the spirit of holy fear in God's presence. Guard what you have received. God the Father has marked you with his sign; Christ the Lord has confirmed you and has placed his pledge, the spirit, in your hearts. (St. Ambrose, De myst. 7, 42: J.P. Migne, ed., Patrologia Latina (Paris: 1841-1855) 16, 402-403)
What are the three most important things that happen to you at Confirmation?
During Confirmation, three key experiences stand out: first, the deepening of my faith as I publicly affirm my beliefs and commitment to the Church. Second, the personal connection I feel with the Holy Spirit during the sacrament, which empowers me to live out my faith more fully. Lastly, the sense of community and support from my fellow confirmands and the broader church family reinforces my belonging and shared purpose in our spiritual journey.
