text: I actually would prefer if we did as the Eastern Catholics and Orthodox do: baptism, confirmation, and Eucharist all at once as an infant. All are unmerited gifts and why make folks wait for the graces of the other two sacraments to operate in their lives?  Why make it seem like they have to earn it by attending CCD classes?  Since such mysteries are infinite, how much more is there to understand from age 8 onward than from age 0-8?
