| | | i want to be catholic, but don't know how to ask mom and dad
okay, ill cut to the chase.
i was baptised protestant. i go to our local tec college. not special criteria like coe or catholic. about two years ago i made a lot of friends at our local catholic school through scouts. one of my friends asked if i wanted to start going to church with him. i agreed and for the last 18 months have been going to his catholic church every sunday. i would love to be baptised a catholic so that i could follow the religion properly, but i dont know how to broach the subjects with my mom and dad. im 14, and im terrified that theyll just laugh in my face. my family is not devourt, and dont go to church or anything. i really need advice on how to broach the subjects with my mom and dad

| I believe you said: "As you know the Sacrament Confirmation is in many Christian Churches a rite of initiation for the purpose of bestowing the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. " | |

I questioned the "as you know" part. I didn't know. I didn't ask HOW to find out. I asked how I WOULD know. | |

Gromitt82 | Seeing as you didn't answer I'm guessing that you don't have the authority to give proper advice. | |

| I assume English is not your first language - you WILL and you WOULD are not the same thing.
But then, I'm an English major and this has turned trivial so I'm out of here.
I fail to see how any of this is helping the OP. | |
