Confirmation: Basically an oath taken to swear obedience to the Catholic Church and its beliefs.
Anointing the sick: Use of Holy oils and prayers on the sick in hopes of curing them
Holy Orders: Different sub-sects of the Catholic Church, often focusing on certain specific causes or methodologies... for examples, go ogle "Sisters of Mercy" or "Jesuits". It's like joining a club in school... you all go to the same school, but there might be a football team, a chess club, a band, etc.... Sorta the deal with the Catholics. Same church, different club.
EDIT: As for the pope being a Nazi... he is old, and he is German. He was a member of the "Hitler Youth Brigade," not technically a full-blown Nazi, as he was a child at the time. What that means exactly is up for interpretation. Personally, I have plenty of disagreements with the Catholic way of things, but his involvement was at an early age, probably influenced by his parents, and it was a long time ago. That's not to stick up for the man, but just to put things into perspective.
