Confession and Repentance. Some canonical remarks
Confession and Repentance. Some canonical remarks

Summary/Abstract: In this study, I have tried to explain why the question of sacraments and, first of all,the question of lay participation in the eucharistic life, is, in my opinion, the mainquestion facing our Church, a question on which her spiritual future, her real, andnot only external, growth truly depends. My conclusions must, therefore, relate toone another with faithfulness to the genuine Tradition of the Church with pastoralcare for its “fulfillment” in our own conditions of life, which are so difficult and soradically different from the past.The question, in my opinion, must be formulated as follows: how can we bothencourage a more frequent, more regular participation by the laity in the Eucharisticsacrament, as the “focus of Christian life,” as the sacrament of the Church and herunity, and, at the same time, assure a proper preparation for this sacrament, thuspreventing communion from becoming as much a “custom” as was, until now, thepractice of “non-communion”?
