Early confirmation, along with infant baptism, come from a time went infant and child mortality ran over 50%. Get them washed clean and into the Church before the grim reaper took them. This is where the whole myth of Limbo was invented (it was never a doctrine of the Catholic Church). That the practices continue today simply underscores how religious doctrine can rarely be changed.

The church had been moving the age up towards the age of consent, but it seems they are going back to historical practices. Kids don’t die in the numbers they used to so I don’t understand this reversal except the need to rope the flock in early. Too many people straying I guess.
