Document Summary
Whether or not sacraments should be under the category of sign. Its ritual, symbolic and the things that are done evoke things: baptism water is poured on someone and it cleanses someone. Same as plunging people into water the water can rep life. How did sacraments cause grace: tq puts it on the category of sign, augustine use to say it was a sacred sign, eopere aperato. In catholic theology leading up to vatican there was causality of the sacraments. When u perform them u want to do them in a way that people understand and brought alive to what is being done. If u only think its a cause then yet its a cuase but it matters if the priest is effective and try to explain the sacrament along with having the congregation being open to receiving. Necessity of the sacraments: condition vs absolutely sacraments. Absolutely god can bring about salvation w. o the sacraments.
