TOUCHING CONFIRMATION

CANON I. If any one shall say, that the confirmation of those who have been baptized is an idle ceremony, and not rather a true and proper sacrament; or that it was formerly nothing more than a kind of catechism, whereby they who were near years of discretion, declared an account of their faith in the face of the Church; let him be anathema.

CANON II. If any one shall say, that they who ascribe any virtue to the sacred chrism of confirmation, do an injury to the Holy Ghost; let him be anathema.

CANON III. If any one shall say, that the ordinary minister of holy confirmation is not the bishop only, but any simple priest soever; let him be anathema.
