“EXCURSUS” STORICO E TEOLOGICO: LA COMPRESIONE DI ALCUNE TEMATICHE DI TEOLOGIA SACRAMENTARIA OCCIDENTALE NELLA TEOLOGIA ORIENTALE

Abstract

The holy sacraments, according to the classical definition of the Treaties of dogmatic and confessions of faith, are divinely instituted celebrations that, in visible and tangible form through the intercession of priests, express and transmit the invisible grace of God, through Christ and the Spirit holy. This scholastic definition, which of course does not appear in the patristic texts because the fathers’ simply describing the sacraments of the church in their expressions and their consequences causes misunderstandings. These celebrations are isolated from the body, thus creating something additional in the body that can easily be considered as autonomous and magical means. The Orthodox tradition, beginning with the body in the description of the church, which is manifest especially in Latreutical rally and liturgy of the people, consider the sacraments as organic manifestations and functions of the body as a whole.
