NCC Q43: What are the sacraments or ordinances?

A43: The sacraments or ordinances given by God and instituted by Christ, namely baptism and the Lord's Supper, are visible signs and seals that we are bound together as a community of faith by his death and resurrection. By our use of them the Holy Spirit more fully declares and seals the promises of the gospel to us.

New City Catechism: Question 43 – What are the sacraments or ordinances?

[crafterman]

This is not the classical Reformed teaching. The Reformed teaching is that for the elect, the sacraments actually DO that which they signify, they don't just "stir up our faith" by reminding us of what they signify.

The seven sacraments of the Catholic Church, as instituted by Jesus Christ, are Baptism, Confirmation or Chrismation, Eucharist, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony.

What was his position on Marriage? Legal Marriage is and has been oxymoronic and moronic, so Church's position is solely significant.
