Q73 Of The Sacrament Of The Eucharist
< previous   Prologue   next >

Prologue   A1   A2   A3   A4   A5   A6  

We have now to consider the sacrament of the Eucharist; and first of all we treat of the sacrament itself; secondly, of its matter; thirdly, of its form; fourthly, of its effects; fifthly, of the recipients of this sacrament; sixthly, of the minister; seventhly, of the rite.

Under the first heading there are six points of inquiry:

A1 Whether the Eucharist is a sacrament?

A2 Whether it is one or several sacraments?

A3 Whether it is necessary for salvation?

A4 Its names;

A5 Its institution;

A6 Its figures.
