Initiation sacraments in canonical and liturgical law
BENEŠOVÁ, Marie
The Church sanctifies the world primarily by celebrating the liturgy and administering the sacraments. In the Catholic Church, we distinguish seven sacraments instituted by Jesus Christ. The thesis discusses the so-called initiation sacraments, baptism, confirmation and the Eucharist. Their acceptance is required in the case of repeated reception of the Eucharist for full initiation into the Christian life. The most sublime Eucharist is the source and at the same time the peak of all our actions. The thesis refers to both the biblical/historical roots and particularly to the current canonical and liturgical practice of administering initiation sacraments from the point of view of the canon law of the Latin Church (CIC/1983), the canon law of the churches of the Eastern Rite sui iuris (CCEO), official liturgical books (e.g., General Instruction of the Roman Missal) and other documents of the magisterium and relevant church authority concerning the liturgy.

Problem of Preparation for Baptism
Matějovská, Alžběta ; Filipi, Pavel (advisor) ; Landová, Tabita (referee)
This thesis is called "The Problems of the Preparation for a Baptism". It deals with the theme of the preparation for a baptism in current practical-theoretical circumstances. Its main purpose is to study the conceptions, the emphasis and the fundamental aspects of the preparation for a baptism of se-lected representatives of Cristian churches: the Latin Church, the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren, and on the field of German Protestant churches. The work advances in five steps. At first the work deals with the question of a baptism, pre-baptismal prepa-ration and the baptism of children in the New Testament. Then it describes selected catechetical processes throughout history up to their extinction. In the third part it reflexes the procedures of the particular reformation movements. The fourth part of the work deals with concrete selected churches and their approach to the preparation for a baptism that are at first conceived from a the-oretical point. Later it is based on concrete authors and their rendition of the preparations for a baptism. In the fifth part there is a conclusion of those par- ticular preparations, their basic aspects and their classification into several thematic areas. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
