Saint Olivia is eligible for Catholic Confirmation. However some people say that she is fiction. I have done my research on Saint Olivia and have concluded that Saint Olivia is in fact fiction. But she is still eligible for Catholic Confirmation. Even though she is fiction she is still a Saint that people have believed in and cherished for century's.

Roman Catholic AnswerWithin the Roman Catholic Church, the age for confirmation varies widely depending upon two things. The first thing would be your Rite. The Latin Rite usually celebrates Confirmation between the ages of 12 go 16, although it may be younger, the second thing that it is dependent upon is your Bishop, he is the one who sets the age for confirmation.

Do you have to be confirmed in a Catholic Church to marry a Catholic?
no, you do not have to be Catholic as long as one of you are catholic. Addition: I'm not sure who left that last answer, but it's sadly inadequate. Yes, you have to be confirmed in order to be married in the Catholic Church. However I have sometimes seen priests make exceptions for couples who are in the process of getting confirmed but who will not complete their confirmation classes before their wedding date. The first person seems to have answered another question entirely, which is, can a catholic marry a non-catholic in a catholic church. The answer to that question is, yes it is possible, but you need to receive a special dispensation from the priest who is marrying you. Both answers are wrong. Church Law does NOT require Confirmation for a Catholic to be married in a Catholic Church, though it is encouraged. Baptized Catholics have a right to a Church wedding, provided they have no impediments (prior marriage, etc). The Bishop is the only person who can deny someone a Catholic wedding. If a priest, on his own denies someone a wedding without valid reason, they need to be reported to their local diocese. Talk to a good priest and he will answer your questions. there are a lot of uninformed answers on this forum.
