And for all those folks that think that it is odd or a "perversion" of the Catholic sacrament of confirmation for the girls to take a 'male' name, let me remind them that certain orders of nuns have done this for years -- especially the Dominicans. It wasn't until after Vatican II that nuns even used a last name: they were Sister George, Sister John Paul, etc.

Since I was the only poster to use the word in this thread in reference to the catechumen's choice of confirmation names, I'll assume you were talking about my post #17:

Any parishioners who are protesting this, especially to the point of pressuring catechumens to pervert their sacrament of confirmation, are the real liberals.

I'll also assume that you didn't read it very well since I was clearly referring to the perversion of using the choice of confirmation names to protest a bishop. Regardless of your husband's affinity for cute initials, confirmation names should be chosen for an affinity to a particular saint and the sacraments should not be abused for intra-church political protest, as they were in this instance. These children were tragically misled.
