The Sacraments in genere, communicatio in sacris and the Sacramentals in Catholic and Orthodox Doctrine and Practise

Teologija sakramenata je središnji problem ekumenskog pokreta a sakramentalno zajedništvo, posebice euharistijsko, je njegov vrhunac i najviši cilj. Ovdje se pristupa sakramentima i sakramentalima, kao i pitanju intercommunio ili communicatio in sacris u komparativnoj dimenziji samo u katoličko - pravoslavnoj relaciji. Glavna nakana ovog članka, usprkos različitim interpretacijama, je ukazati na ipak veliko teološko suglasje u bitnome theologia concordia između katoličke i pravoslavne teološke interpretacije na sakramentalnom području, ne umanjujući pritom opravdane različitosti theologia discordia. Na ekumenskoj via dolorosa se možemo približiti samo ako se dublje upoznamo, i to samo u istini i ljubavi, ne odričući se vlastitog a uvažavajući tuđi teološki identitet. Nadamo se da će ovaj članak biti mali doprinos i poticaj na tom putu.The theology of the sacraments is the key problem of the ecumenical movement, and sacramental communion, especially in the Eucharistic, is the highest goal of that movement. This article deals with sacraments and sacramentals, as well as intercommunio or communicatio in sacris as a comparative dimension, specifically, of Catholic-Orthodox relations. The main goal of the article is to stress the substantial theological harmony in crucial things that exists between Catholic and Orthodox theological interpretation in the sacramental field (theologia concordia). This does not mean down playing legitimate diversity (theologia discordia). On the ecumenical »via dolorosa« we can draw closer to each other only if we get to know each other better, and only in truth and love, not denying our own identity and at the same time respecting the theological identity of others. We hope that this article will make a small contribution and that it will offer support on the ecumenical path
