Pope Benedict XVI endorses new order in childrens's reception of sacraments !

Now it will be: Baptism - Confirmation - First Eucharist

"Bishop Samuel Aquila of Fargo, North Dakota:

"
Receives Pope's Praise For Reordering Sacraments"


Snippet from original article by David Kerr, called Bishop Aquila Receives Pope's Praise for Reordering Sacraments. In the Catholic newspaper, The Wanderer. Thursday, March 22, 2012.

As Bishop Aquila himself tells us:

"I was very surprised in what the Pope said to me, in terms of how happy he was that the sacraments of initiation have been restored to their proper order of Baptism, Confirmation, then First Eucharist."

The bishop met with the pope on March 8, and as we are also told:

"Bishop Aquila was one of five bishops from North and South Dakota to meet with Pope Benedict XVI as part of their March 5 - 10 ad limina visit to Rome..."

"The bishop of Fargo said the changes have also distanced the Sacrament of Confirmation from s
ome false theologies that see it as being a sacrament of maturity or as a sacrament for me choosing God..."

Way to go! :)
