A sacrament is an efficacious sign of grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us through the work of the Holy Spirit (see Catechism 774, 1132). There are seven sacraments: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Penance or Reconciliation (Confession), Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony.

.

Canon Law comprises the rules which provide the norms for good order in the visible society of the Church. Those canon laws that apply universally are contained in the Codes of Canon Law, most recently promulgated in 1983 for the Latin (Western) Church and in 1991 for the Eastern Church.
