Catholic Theology

Paper Summary:

In this article, the writer notes that the term sacrament came from the Latin word sacramentum, which when translated literally means sacred sign. The writer points out that in the Catholic faith, the sacraments are the manifestations of Christ's communion with His faithful. This is the revelation of the great mystery of Christ in human form, life, teachings, sufferings, death and resurrection. The writer discusses that the mystery of Christ in human form is continually reenacted through the sacraments and the sacraments become the living proof that Christ live amongst us as a man. The writer concludes that being part of the church and doing the sacraments are not enough but rather true belief in the faith and all aspects of the faith is what makes everything achievable.

From the Paper:

"Confirmation is a continuation of baptism, which affirms the inclusion of the faithful in the Catholic Church. The sacrament of Marriage remembers Christ attending the wedding in Cana. The Holy Orders is the calling of Christ to each of his apostles and the Anointing of the Sick is Christ giving the last rites to the dying faithful.
