V. The Minister of Confirmation

1313
In the Latin Rite, the ordinary minister of Confirmation is the
bishop.¹³⁰ Although the bishop may for grave reasons concede to priests
the faculty of administering Confirmation,¹³¹ it is appropriate from
the very meaning of the sacrament that he should confer it himself, mindful
that the celebration of Confirmation has been temporally separated from Baptism
for this reason. Bishops are the successors of the apostles. They have received
the fullness of the sacrament of Holy Orders. the administration of this
sacrament by them demonstrates clearly that its effect is to unite those who
receive it more closely to the Church, to her apostolic origins, and to her
mission of bearing witness to Christ.
