| Summary: | The author briefly presents the "different practices" regarding the sacraments of initiation, especially confirmation, the order of its administration, age etc., that were present in the Oriental and Latin Churches. She discusses to what extent the "restored order" of the administration of these sacraments, introduced, especially, by Vatican II, functions as an "ecumenical rapprochement" between the East and the West. Celebrating Confirmation in between Baptism and Eucharist is more appropriate as the gift of the Holy Spirit received in its fullness better prepares and leads one to the reception of the Eucharist whereby one is fully joined to the Body of Christ. She concludes the study by presenting the "theological arguments" that justify the introduction of new changes. |
