I was confirmed at age 7. You pretty much have to already know the doctrine to go through that ceremony, and that is the standard age to go through it. No Sunday School, or anything like that?
It's taught right form the pulpit, pretty regularly, to people of all ages.
I'm completely teasing, but I have to ask, what kind of Catholic are you? lol
I received first communion when I was 8, so my Mom started taking me regularly after that. Before then, I used to stay home on Sundays with my dad because he didn't go to church regularly back in those days. Prior to first communion, I only went during school when we had little 30 minute masses once a month (I went to a Catholic school), or when it was a Holy day like Christmas or Easter and it was a family event.
I remember being in church when I was super young, but coming to understand everything that was going on was certainly a process.
Oh, and no. No Sunday school, just Catholic school from Kindergarten to 8th grade.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
