Abstract

The main theological issues faced in the works on Ordo Confirmationis included: definition of the sacramental sign of Confirmation, i.e. its substance and sacramental formula, the main effect of Confirmation, which is the Gift of the Holy Spirit as well as the relation of the sacrament to baptism and the Eucharist. Confirmation was unequivocally recognized as the second sacrament of Christian initiation. Pastoral problems referred to ministers, recipients and witnesses of Confirmation. Presbyters were granted wider rights to administer Confirmation, while godparents were allowed to become witnesses and the Conferences of Bishops could define the age of recipients as other than that of 7 years.
