So I’m 19 and I’ve been brought up a catholic. When I was 13 I got confirmed. I got confirmed for all the wrong reason, I wanted the party and the dress etc.
Six years later, I don’t consider myself a catholic. I don’t believe in the religion, I don’t believe in god the list goes on but I cba.
Anyway, when I got confirmed I chose the name Jessica. I knew that there wasn’t a st Jessica but no one seemed to query it, I chose it after a TV character... anyway because she’s not a saint have I been confirmed? You know when they put that oily stuff on your head and use your confirmation name, surely because they don’t exist I’ve not been confirmed?
Ideally this would be the case, my parents won’t let me stop going to mass when I’m back from uni because I’ve been confirmed, so I’m hoping that actually I haven’t been confirmed...
I’ve not got anything against the religion, people should be able to believe what they want, I just don’t want to be forced to go to church and refusing really isn’t an option...
