What are the models of the Church proposed by Cardinal Avery Dulles?

From the Diocese of Paterson website, we find:Dulles reduced a somewhat longer list of models or paradigms of the Church to five on the basis of what the Fathers of Vatican II had to say about the Church, primarily in two of the Council's four major documents, namely, the Constitution on The Church and the Constitution on The Church in The Modern World.The five are: The Church as Institution; as Mystical Communion; as Sacrament; as Herald; and as Servant. The designations are, in a limited sense, metaphors, but, in a larger sense, valid insights into the mystery of the Church.

To fast and abstain on the days appointed by the Church;3. To go to confession at least once a year;4. To receive the Blessed Sacrament at least once a year, and that about Easter time;5.

How many sacraments does the church of Ireland celebrate?

.The Church OF Ireland is what the same thing as the Church of England, and the Episcopal church in the United States. In other words, it is a Protestant church that basically only considers Baptism and Holy Communion Sacraments, but gives some recognition to the other five. The Church IN Ireland is the Roman Catholic church (to which the majority of Irish belong) and believes in all seven sacraments: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Penance, Holy Orders, Matrimony, and Unction.

What are the seven sacraments Five Wits speaks of in the poem Everyman?

some churches have sacraments, gifts from God, often through priests and ceremonies, you may have heard of receiving the communion wafer, "taking Communion," believed by some to be miraculously actually changed into the Body and Blood of the Christ (Jesus), as He is reported to have said "Take this, all of you, and eat, etc." That sort of thing. I am attempting to say this neutrally, not as believer or non-believer. The Catholic Church in particular is one church which believes in seven sacraments. They are Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Orders, Reconciliation (Confession), Matrimony, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Eucharist (Communion)
