Did the +Bishop slap you at confirmation?

[Miss Shelby]

This can be a changing day in your life. If you want to talk to me you're gonna have to get honest...

Whoops...I never watch that show.

I was slapped, but it wasn't hard at all. He tapped the side of my face and said, "Go in peace" or something like that.

 

[D'Ann]

When ya'all were talking about being "slapped" during confirmation... were you all serious? No one slapped me...nor my daughter during her confirmation... but then, a Bishop wasn't the one who confirmed us...How does one not naturally slap back? Just kiddin.

[Paul S]

I was slapped, but it wasn't hard at all. He tapped the side of my face and said, "Go in peace" or something like that.

See above.

In the older rite, he says Pax tecum.

In the new rite, I'm pretty sure the slap is gone, but I don't know how the rite has been ICELised. I don't have a new Pontifical. But if they can turn "Ite, Missa est" into "Go in peace to love and serve the Lord", then "Go in peace" isn't bad.

May I say with the greatest of respect.... NO THANK YOU!!!!

God's Peace, D'Ann

I'd be more than happy to offer any slapping services that one might need.

Perhaps I need to post my Bible thumping pic again...

Oh, ok...I will.

Yes he did, in 1968. There were no serious side effects.
