Hello! Found this in an olde english dictionary: Sacramentalist - a believer in the sanctity, value, power and efficacy of the sacraments.
I am a catholic. Does this make me a sacramentalist as well? Or am I mental for love of the Sacraments?
Peace and all good,
Gail |

Yep, you're mental; you're mental for Christ!

dir="ltr"> Falsely are our churches accused of abolishing the Mass; for the Mass is retained among us, and celebrated with the highest reverence.

Peace and all good,
Gail
That dictionary definition seems rather broad to me. As I have understood the term it refers to those who view ther sacraments as operating in and of themselves. If that it is, I would guess that you are a sacramentalist. |
