This says it all:
When he made the change in his then-Diocese of Fargo in 2002, he said he was convinced by the theological and pastoral reasons that it was the right decision, but the feedback from parents after it was implemented further confirmed the change.

The article did not mention when/at what age, first communion and confirmation would be done. Am I correct to guess 6th through 8th grade years? Or 12-14 as some Protestant congregations do for Baptism?

Going back to the “roots” of how the Church did the first 3 sacraments, in the first few centuries.

In the parish where I grew up (a fairly small one), First Communion was available every year for those of age seven, because that could be done by the pastor. Confirmation came only every three years, because the parish was considered too small for the Bishop to come every year. I happened to reach age seven the year our parish got Confirmation, so I had both the same year.

Aquila is one of about ten American bishops who will not allow pro-abort apostate “Catholics” to receive Communion.
What this means is that Aquila is one of about ten American bishops NOT walking around habitually in the state of mortal sin.
