| Summary: | Times of crisis have always provided opportunities for the Church to revisit and revise her canonical and liturgical discipline, whether by permanently altering her laws, or in the temporary cessation or introduction of certain practices better suited to the particularities of the circumstances. This is no less so when such crises arise from serious sickness, and the history of the Church’s legislation governing sacramental and liturgical acts is replete with examples. In this essay, the A. considers the contributions of Saint Charles Borromeo, Saint Alphonsus Liguori, and Prospero Lambertini’s De Synodo dioecesana, particularly concerning the administration of Holy Communion to those suffering from infectious or contagious disease. Les périodes de crise ont toujours fourni à l’Église l’occasion de revoir et de réviser sa discipline canonique et liturgique, que ce soit par une modification permanente de ses lois, ou par la cessation temporaire ou l’introduction de certaines pratiques mieux adaptées aux particularités des circonstances. Il n’en est pas moins vrai lorsque de telles crises découlent de maladies graves, et l’histoire de la législation de l’Église régissant les actes sacramentels et liturgiques regorge d’exemples. Dans cet essai, l’A. considère les contributions de Saint Charles Borromée, de Saint Alphonse de Liguori et du De Synodo dioecesana de Prospero Lambertini, notamment en ce qui concerne l’administration de la Sainte Communion aux personnes souffrant de maladies infectieuses ou contagieuses. |
