Abstract

The author searched, in the first part of this article, into the method employed in the letter De Sacramentis, and exposed Benedict XIV’s systematic presentation of the sacraments for the Eastern Catholics. In this second part she discusses the authority of the minister and the multiplication of grace through the sacraments of penance, anointing of the sick, holy orders and matrimony. 

This essay, translated into English by George D. Gallaro, is an Italian contribution (Chiesa sacramentale e fede nei sacramenti nelle decisioni di Benedetto XIV sui cattolici orientali) of Dr. Fattori to the volume in honor of Giuseppe Ruggieri, TUTTO È GRAZIA, edited by Alberto Melloni and published by the Jaca Book of Milan in 2010.
