The Subject of the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick
Journal Title: Kościół i Prawo - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
The study focuses on the analysis and interpretation of regulations used by the Church to specify the criteria of admitting a subject to the sacrament of anointing of the sick. The study takes into account the dispositions of the can. 1004-1007 (1983 CIC) and the proper liturgical instructions, as well as other corresponding canons if necessary. First, general subjective criteria are distinguished on the basis of contemporary legal doctrine and in connection with historical factors whenever they are important. These criteria include: the fact of receiving baptism, the ability to use reason, and being in a dangerous condition due to sickness or old age. Next, the rule of repetition of this sacrament is analyzed. After that, special cases shown by the legislator are described, when it is uncertain whether someone can be the subject of the sacrament of anointing of the sick or not. Next, the article focuses on the understanding of the request to be given the sacrament, which should be expressed by the recipient. Finally, the text discusses the prohibition to administer the sacrament of anointing of the sick to people who remain obstinate in grave public sin.
