• "The sacrament of confirmation strengthens the baptized and obliges them more firmly to be witnesses of Christ by word and deed and to spread and defend the faith. It imprints a character, enriches by the gift of the Holy Spirit the baptized continuing on the path of Christian initiation, and binds them more perfectly to the Church." (Code of Canon Law, #879)
• "Every baptized person not yet confirmed (and only such a person) is capable of receiving confirmation. To receive confirmation licitly (outside the danger of death) requires that a person who has the use of reason be suitably instructed, properly disposed, and able to renew the baptismal promises." (Code of Canon Law, #889)
• Confirmation is required of every Catholic. It is one of the essential sacraments of the Church, without which one is not fully a member of the Church. To declare that one does not need the sacrament of Confirmation is to reject the grace God offers to us.
• Confirmation is thus a requirement for being a godparent or sponsor, for being a lector or extraordinary minister of Holy Communion, for being ordained, or for entering religious life. It is not required for marriage.
• "Catholics who have not yet received the sacrament of confirmation are to receive it before they are admitted to marriage if it can be done without grave inconvenience." (Can. 1065 §1.)
