I just can't see why you respond the way you do. Here's an example: "To the office, since the bishop had no reason to deny the children the sacrament, but the choice of name destroyed the atmosphere of joy which should have attended the exercise of his office."

I typed that, not freeper Ronaldus Magnus.

Is the ceremony performed by the priest, or the bishop? I guess that would make a difference in determining whether it was a show of support or a swipe at the bishop.)

The norm in the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church is that the bishop adminsters the sacrament of confirmation.
