Both the Eastern Rite Catholics and the Latin Rite Catholics celebrate the same sacraments: Baptism Confirmation Reconciliation Eucharist Marriage Holy Orders Anointing of the Sick
The Orthodox Church also celebrates the seven sacraments. Some Protestant denominations celebrate some of the sacraments but not all seven.
Catholics believe that sacraments are sacred rituals instituted by Jesus Christ to convey God's grace to believers. They believe there are seven sacraments: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony. These sacraments are seen as outward signs of inward grace and are essential for spiritual growth and salvation.
Roman Catholic AnswerYes, all Catholics, including the Orthodox, observe all seven Sacraments.
No. Buying and selling sacraments is the sin of simony, which the Church condemns.
Catholics have always been supposed to believe what the Church teaches, basically what is in the Nicene and Apostles' creeds, the seven sacraments, etc.
Roman Catholic AnswerBecause seven is the number of sacraments that God has established, and it is always better to follow what God decides than what men decide.
If a Catholic marries, he is required to do this in the presence of a priest, to have his marriage recognized and blessed by the Church. The sacrament of matrimony is one of the seven sacraments, the grace of this particular sacrament is solely oriented towards the spouse. Catholics are not required to be married, but if they do marry, then they must participate in the sacrament.
All Catholics are called to defend the Catholic Church, and they are empowered by the Sacraments to do that very thing.
Catholics believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ as passed down through the Bible and tradition. Their faith is shaped by the belief in the Holy Trinity, the sacraments, the importance of prayer, and the authority of the Pope. These beliefs influence their practices such as attending Mass, participating in the sacraments, and following moral teachings.
Catholics, the world over, by the preaching of the Gospel and by the healing ministry of the Church in the Sacraments (Reconciliation and Anointing of the Sick) bring Christ's healing to people.
Confession is one of the seven sacraments. Under normal circumstances only people who are in full communion with the See of Peter (ie. Roman Catholics) can receive the sacraments.
